If someone gets into your PC, you have much bigger problems than them reading the system logs.

Gaming on Linux has been really good for the last several years. The main issue is certain multiplayer games that intentionally block Linux users.

Nobara and Bazzite are gaming focused distributions, but they are both based on Fedora. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed will give you the lastest kernel version if you want a rolling release distro.

Mint has a software manager and you can also install Synaptic.

Gaming on Mint works fine, but it’s based on Ubuntu LTS releases, so you won’t have the latest kernel or mesa versions. If you’re using an RX 9000 series GPU, you should probably pick a distro with a newer kernel and mesa version to get the best performance.

It’s good for basic things like cutting, merging and transitions. It can be used to blur something as long as it’s not moving.

Because of all of the blobs it contains. That has caused a lot of people to not trust it.

The botnets usually try to login to SSH and pages like phpmyadmin & wp-admin looking for something they can infect rather than scraping every single page on a website frequently. Unless you do something to become the target of a DDoS attack or don’t secure your server, they usually aren’t much more than a source of log spam.

It crashed a lot when I played it on windows too. I tried playing it a couple of times, but always gave up partway through because it kept crashing. There are some mods that are supposed to help with stability, I should try it again and see if they fix it.

Github has really turned to shit. Almost every time I try to search for something I get the too many requests error even if it’s the first time I’ve visited the site in a week.

It would be nice if people could self host something like Forgejo, but the damn AI crawlers will just hammer your server until it crashes. The crawlers are really hard to block without relying on another big tech company like Cloudflare.

Windows XP is really lightweight. As long as your CPU supports VT-x or AMD-V, the VM will run fine.

Having the buffers separate is useful because you can have two different things copied at the same time.

You could try. There are lots of open issues and the last commit was 5 years ago. It may have been abandoned.

I looked up the site on archive.org, but they don’t have any of the documentation pages archived. It looks like the documentation was just auto generated by gtk-doc, so you could clone the repo, install gtk-doc and generate the same documentation that was on the web site.

The domain registration probably expired. It’s pretty common for someone to buy up expired domains and point them to crap like that.

Middle click paste is extremely useful. Why would anyone want to disable it?

That can be done with Apt-Cacher NG. It’s a proxy server that caches .deb packages. It really speeds up updates if you have multiple computers that are using the same packages.

I would recommend installing Heroic Launcher too. It works good for GoG, Epic & Amazon games.

There is a PipeWire module for ASHA. It looks like it has issues with a lot of devices though.

My windows XP install kept breaking and I got tired of fixing it, so I tried Linux and never went back.
