Or Tmate if you use Vim (or another CLI editor, or basically anything in the Terminal)

Signal is still great for cross-platform rich messaging, sending photos and videos with good quality (unlike with SMS), as well as voice and video calls. It also has fantastic desktop apps, similar to how you can use iMessage on your Mac, but Signal works on Linux and Windows as well. And you don’t need to be a criminal to care about your privacy.

May I ask why you don’t use it?

The Firehawk52 guide has some ARLs that expire in 2099. I never had issues with them. Just hit Ctrl + F, search for 2099 and you’re good to go.

Btw the regular ARLs are being updated, search for 2025 and you’ll get some results.

OP asked about TLauncher, which is a cracked version. It’s proprietary though, and there’s a much better alternative called PollyMC. It’s based on the amazing Prism Launcher, and has a bunch of useful features, such as the ability to download individual mods and entire modpacks straight from sources like Curseforge, Modrinth, ATLauncher or FTB.

I recommend using PollyMC, if you want to play Minecraft for free. It’s based on the awesome Prism Launcher, is completely open source, and has more features than the official launcher or TLauncher.

If you want something that’s basically the exact same thing as Notepad++, check out Notepad Next. If you want something similar, try Notepadqq, and if you want something better, use Kate. It’s developed by the KDE Project btw, and fits in well with the rest of your Plasma desktop experience.

I have installed Lutris (flatpak), Bottles (flatpak) and Heroic (Appimage).

Why did you install Heroic as an AppImage? Just go with the Flatpak, which is more convenient, because you can easily update it from Discover.

I also recommend installing ProtonUp-Qt btw, it’s an easy to use graphical tool that lets you manage multiple versions of Proton. Once you have it installed, use it to download the latest version of Proton-GE-custom. It has better performance and compatibility with many games.

When actually installing Linux onto your machine, I would reconsider your choice of distribution though. Debian isn’t bad, but there are better, easier, more user-friendly distros for gaming. One example of this is Bazzite. It’s pretty similar to Steam OS, and you can’t really break it.

Immich is funded by FUTO btw

Why?

“Rent”

prohibit a seller of a digital good from advertising or offering for sale a digital good, as defined, to a purchaser with the terms buy, purchase, or any other term which a reasonable person would understand

I think ‘acquire’ definitely falls in this category

It’s impressive how many things can be achieved with nothing more than the power of open source software

Rclone with crypt seems pretty nice

The new Element X is written in Rust and thus memory-safe. SchildiChat Next is based on it.

Fluffychat and Syphon are pretty good

+1 for Servo

Yes

I highly recommend the Prism Launcher. You can find it in the standard Linux Mint Software Manager.

They have an install script that makes this much easier. https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale

I summed up the steps:

Create an account at https://login.tailscale.com/start

Open Konsole and copy-paste the following commands, then hit enter to run them:

git clone https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale.git; cd deck-tailscale

sudo bash tailscale.sh

source /etc/profile.d/tailscale.sh

sudo tailscale up --qr --operator=deck --ssh This will give you a QR code, that you need to scan with your phone. You will have to log in to Tailscale to add the Steam Deck to your Tailscale network.

Try running sudo tailscale update

If this works, i.e. if you don’t get any error messages, run sudo tailscale set --auto-update

If you use Decky Loader, I recommend installing the Tailscale Control plugin, which lets you control Tailscale from the Steam menu. You can also use KTailctl to control it from desktop mode.
