I see there's some sort of "how's Linux now" discourse going around Mastodon and so I'll give my brief summary:
To be blunt, Linux is just the least-shit option to run on your PC nowadays lol.
If you want a good start, try Kubuntu kubuntu.org/, I get along great with it. Familiar interface, without all the shovelled shit Microsoft constantly try to force on you. Same KDE Plasma interface Valve use for Steam Deck's Desktop Mode.

One of the few games I bounced off not due to gameplay but due to the story/theme. At the time it was released it felt, to me at the time, too smugly self-referential.

For those who arenโt aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.
From the Microsoft FAQ: โNote that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."
Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything youโve typed and viewed in one database.
I should be transparent btw that I took Satya and Charlieโs commitment to security at face value too - I even published a blog on it backing that up - and I have concerns (it isnโt just me).

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐ง๐ฎ • • •This is normal. If Proton allows the developer to focus on maintaining a single version that works well in several operative systems, why disperse efforts in several half maintained versions.
I don't know about this particular game, but I have more than once forced the Proton version over the native one, because it worked better.
