I don’t know about advertising publicly that I pirate, lol

That is a fair point, actually. If there were a theoretical systemd-free Ubuntu it may just tell something else like tmpreaper to clean on the same schedule and create the same vulnerability.

Your system could honestly be fatter without systemd if you try to replicate everything it does with external applications.

Maybe so, but systemd’s bloated feature creep still leads to security vulnerabilities. Another systemd root access exploit was just discovered a couple of days ago.

Nah this is more systemd bloat and certainly invites criticism. Other inits aren’t even commenting, let alone complying.

This is very cool, but these squiggly underlines are making me feel like Microsoft Word is trying to tell me they’re wrong somehow, lol

Which games? Protondb is a great resource to see what games work on Linux. But basically all you need to do is add a game to either Steam or Heroic Launcher and then set the game to launch with Proton. That site will tell you if you’ll need a specific version of Proton for a game.

Use the Heroic Launcher. It uses the same proton as steam but doesn’t launch through steam.
