For YouTube with no ads, download revanced manager and use it to patch a YouTube apk. I believe the current recommended version is v20.14.43. Use microG to log in to your account.

Yeah I’d wipe it if you’re going to switch, always less headaches that way. CachyOS has a lot of options so I’ll throw my 2 cents out there, I set it up with btrfs file system and the limine bootloader because it automatically sets up snapshots so you can roll back if something gets borked. It’s also easier to get secure boot working with limine if you’re trying to dual boot.

I’d suggest trying a couple through live ISOs to see what works best out of the box with your hardware. I settled on CachyOS and definitely recommend it. Bazzite is ok, very stable, but keep in mind it is immutable which may hamper its abilities as a full desktop.

Which GPU do you have? There are plenty of distros that work just fine with Nvidia.

Seems about 40% working, I personally only have one game that doesn’t jive with Linux. If the game you’re playing doesn’t work that’s the fault of the specific anti-cheat developers because it’s obviously possible to do it right.

I have a spare drive with windows so I can play Battlefield 6, literally everything else I need or want works great on Linux. I’m hoping the anti cheat developers get more on board soon, maybe they’ll catch on after windows shits itself a couple more times due to the spaghettified AI code. I currently can’t get into recovery mode because Microsoft borked it with their last patch lmao.

Aw man, I was really looking forward to the new battlefield too. Oh well :/

This dude says it works fine on Steam Deck fwiw

Yarr

The ones using rootkit drm stuff probably :/

Emulators are where it’s at on Android, at least for me. There’s a handful of good native android games but you can play so so many fantastic old games using emulators.

Here’s a thorough guide on setting it up:

And a link for ROMS collections:

It seems like a lot to take in just to play some games but I promise it’s easier than it looks to get up and running.

Who the hell is renting PCs? Sounds like a scam without even looking into this.

Do a lot of slurs have a wikipedia page?

The graphics look crazy, almost like real Legos.

I see that as a bonus lol

The practical reason people use balanced jacks is because they push more power which allows you to use headphones with lower sensitivity. I have a few pairs myself that would benefit from this, they have relatively low ohm ratings so the high impedance setting on my V60 doesn’t get triggered when I plug them in and they are very quiet.

Retro Game Corps has some great tutorials on setting up retroarch.

I also recommend Daijisho as a front end for browsing and launching if you have multiple emulators.

My kids and I have been on a Vermintide 2 kick. Its so damn fun when you’re sitting next to each other.

Warframe, the wiki is essential to play that game for any length of time.

I was under the impression it was a lot more than $200, but that still seems costly for what it does. For $100 more you can get an AYN Odin 2 which does a hell of a lot more stuff for the price.
