literally just run the setup/game exe through lutris or bottles, then add the shortcut to steam

that is unless you're running disk encryption, in which case your data (and in most cases your OS) is safe from unauthorized access, although there is not much to stop them just wiping it or running their own os on it lol

asus has killed the possibility of me being a potential customer then lol

technically that is only true if the malware in question does something in the kernel or relies on an unimplemented wine api call, since a lot of malware is an infostealer or ransomware, its quite likely that it'll work just fine under wine

at least you have someone cool and close to you in your life

i believe fedora has this by default

it's a for profit, proprietary application that doesn't value your privacy in the slightest, it's becoming a monopoly over communities and taking over places like forums and instant messaging and is not immune to enshittification

And, I guess, in general I am increasingly worried about people with bad opsec. A lot of the “fediverse” discussions are reminding me of the crypto crowd thinking it provides a high degree of security and anonymity because a corporation is not involved. And they really don’t realize just how much power and access instance owners/admins have.

people should always think that everything they post on the internet can be searchable and viewable by anyone, it is public information

i still have no clue why people use chrome for the past 5+ years, there's better chromium alternatives if you still want to use chromium for some reason, and there's firefox which doesn't support the chromium monopoly, works really well and doesn't try to restrict you from using adblockers
