I’m not talking about DRM, but about Steam’s terms of service. Technically you only purchase a license to play the game, which can be taken away by Valve at any time. You don’t really own your copy of the game, as you would with physical media.


See this is why I love Valve. At least their hardware and the great support for open source software (Linux, Wine/Proton).

No, I don’t agree with everything they do in regards to Steam. I know that it sucks, that you can’t truly own your games nowadays, but at least Valve supports an OS that lets you truly own your hardware and have control over your software. And they do it, by providing open source software (Proton) with no strings attached (free software license) that lets you play games on this exact FOSS OS.




I’d like to find something that lets me control the music from my desktop, either through KDE connect or a standalone app. FOSS / F-droid preferred

I recommend a self-hosted music server like Navidrome. [email protected]


Does it have to be http? If FTP is ok too, you can try primitive ftpd, or the built-in FTP feature in Material Files or Amaze.



The OS itself is degoogled by default, but it has a reliable and officially supported option for adding Google services, if you need them.


Honestly, no. Whenever I see late notifications its usually on a degoogled phone

Usually, yes. But there is one exception: GrapheneOS. Since it allows you to use Sandboxed Google Play services, notifications work just like on any other Android device, you just need to disable battery optimization for Play services. But unfortunately it is only compatible with Google Pixel devices.
