I think this is a rhetorical question

You’re right, I edited my original comment to include advice on how to do this

Trying to make Lemmy a better place

Maybe try Startpage, it gives you Google results without exposing your data to Google.

It sends your search to google but without connecting your search with your ip.

Not true

I don’t get it either

!g sends you to the Google website, obviously Google gets your IP, browser fingerprint, etc. that way

Don’t use proprietary Tampermonkey, switch to Violentmonkey

Startpage gives you Google search results without exposing your data to Google. It’s better for your privacy.

You can use Startpage to get Google search results. It’s a meta search engine for Google, but it doesn’t expose any of your data. You can use it with DuckDuckGo’s Bangs feature. That way, DuckDuckGo can be your default search engine and you can make all of your normal search queries with DDG, but if you want to search on Google through Startpage, you just type !sp followed by your search query into DuckDuckGo and it will forward your search to Startpage. This also works with many many other sites, type !bangs into DDG to get the full list of supported websites.

I really hope no one in this community uses Google as their search engine.

That’s a nice feature, especially when gaming on Linux

If you know how to hack your switch, you should also know how to not get banned

That’s really cool, thanks

Be aware, however, Nintendo is aggressive with banning, so mod at your own risk.

Just block Nintendo servers when running modded to make sure you don’t get banned. This guide can help you: https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/extras/blocking_nintendo/

r/PiratedGames is the way to go for offline/single player games

For multiplayer games, I always try to get better deals on sites like Instant Gaming

Epic Games also offers paid titles for free, many of them are garbage though and I absolutely hate Epic Games

You can check if it’s on Deezer and use this guide to download it. The same is possible on Qobuz. Both offer FLACs.

Some Tailscale clients are open-source and you can self-host a Headscale server

Personally, I really like Garuda Linux and CachyOS for Gaming. You can also check out ChimeraOS or uBlue Bazzite if you want something closer to the Steam Deck.

Linux Mint Debian Edition and Fedora are some general recommendations of mine. Nobara is a fork of Fedora optimized for Gaming.
