I know you said you want to use KDE, but Pop is actually working on their own DE, called Cosmic, to be released with the 24.04 version. It’s currently still in alpha, so it’s far from finished, but if you’re trialing other distros anyway I don’t think it would hurt to boot it up and explore it (at least for a few minutes)
All these companies do is make it easier to use wireguard, if you’re so afraid of them just use wireguard yourself, you’ll get the same effect
About the second point, your pc shouldn’t be putting any resources towards a VM if it isn’t active. Just shut it down, close it, and play games on your host as normal.
One more thing, I’m assuming you’re doing your gaming on Steam. Check ProtonDB for all of your games to see if they work on Linux (protondb only lists steam games, so if you have games as well, I’ve found a google search usually does the trick). You might find that you don’t even need a VM
They don’t, that quote is talking about the steam survey, which allows steam to read what OS the user is using. The point OP is making is that the only reason W11 is more popular than W10 is because Microsoft is forcing the update
I mean, they are trying to build a twitter alternative, aren’t they?
Yes, exactly

What is that fanfiction headass conversation at the end lmao
New desktop environment being made by the guys who make PopOS. It is currently in alpha version 2
Fellow Linux noob, just started using it earlier this year so if someone with more experience wants to weigh in, please do.
That said, gaming on Linux is pretty good. Steam’s proton makes most games playable out of the box, although it’s still a good idea to check Proton DB to see if any particular game you want to play is playable.
As for your other question, I’m not totally sure what you mean by accessible and customizable, but I don’t think any of your peripherals are going to be distro locked. The Arch Wiki is a pretty good resource for, well, everything, but most relevant to you for your peripherals (it also usually gives good information for any distro, not just arch)
Nah, Bitwarden is what I use. It has a free tier and a paid tier for $10/year that adds some extra features. You can read about both on their website.
You can also autofill on mobile and desktop with the mobile app and browser extension respectively (the mobile app also let’s you autofill in any app that requires a login, which is nice)
I recommend going for a password manager. Bitwarden (and probably every other modern password manager) let’s you import passwords from a file and Firefox let’s you export all your passwords as a file. All you have to do is take your FF passwords and chuck them into your password manager of choice
I love Proton and will advocate for it any chance I get, but I can also see that it might be good to have people like you who don’t put all their eggs in one basket
I remember figuring this out when I realized my vpn wasn’t connecting while I was inside of my secure folder, which acts like it’s own user profile
You need a VPN that can split tunnel by ip via CLI (although I think it’s also possible to set it up in an ovpn file, but I haven’t tried it). The only one I’ve found that can do this natively is proton, specifically the python community version.
I don’t know how this next part works if you use something that isn’t tailscale, but if you do then just set proton’s split tunneling for 100.64.0.0/10
Then, still on this machine, advertise the exit node from tailscale (you also have to allow it from your tailscale admin console). Connect to it from your phone, making sure to use the server as an exit node, and head over to ip.me to see if it’s working
If I’m understanding correctly, I think I’ve actually done something similar with tailscale. I run a VPN on my server and use it as a tailscale exit node (since it’s always running, I never have to worry about it turning off) and this allows me to connect to my server remotely while using a VPN, since Android also doesn’t allow simultaneously VPN connections
Can you explain why you don’t recommend GNOME? I installed Pop when I built my first PC about a month ago and I haven’t noticed anything problematic
You’re getting downvoted because that, in fact, isn’t the feature we were talking about.
2FA and passkeys are different
They’re talking about the fact that Bitwarden doesn’t support passkeys on mobile
I didn’t fully understand what I was talking about when I replied, and for that I apologize. Now that I know a little bit more, this is basically how it works (I think):
We cannot see posts made directly on Mastodon. However, they can see posts made on Lemmy and even comment on them. We are able to see those comments as normal and without doing anything on our end, but again, that’s only as long as they’re made under Lemmy posts
Yeah I thought it would be a long shot but I figured i should mention it just in case, good luck finding a distro
