Drunk & Root

first quesrion: no unless you play rainbiw six or fortnite all games run with wine or proton tou could take a look at garuda gaming edition 2: Yes you can r2modman has a appimage (universal linux app) and forge has a linux client for minecraft 3: you could use wine or always just spin up a windows vm if you need it and it doesnt work with wine 4: yes it can run .NET using the wine compaitibilty layer 5: updates are distro specific for example on debain ud do sudo apt update && upgrade or on arch its sudo pacman -Syu 6: its actuslly more secure with it being open source because anyonr can check for vulrabiltys and since its so unkown theres little malware affecting desktop users most are targeting servers and theres one av i know called clamtk theres also rkhunter that looks for root kits only 7: linux has a weird reltonship with gpu drivers for nvidia theres nvidia open source that offer worse perfomrance but are open source and nvidia properitary that run better but are prob spyware 8: Linux cant really damage hardware 9: for distros Linux Mint is and like windows Pop os is good for gaming or for a arch linux based exooernce but still easy try garuda gaming it comes with everything you need to game.

or you can snap your ssd in half or shoot it if your american

debian

side note but you dont need to use proprietary android phones you can flash custom roms to most like GrapheneOS LiniageOS or CalyxOS or you can find a linux phone os like ubuntu touch

if biometrics is the only thing you have you might aswell not have a password at all but if you use it with a 2fa pin it is good for example for your phone yiu can have a long backup passphrase and if you dont want to type that in you can use biometrics to unlock the pin screeb and still need to type in a pin so its the best of both worlds

is it single use links?

u could prob find a way to do this with nextcloud i saw smth like this on fdroid for nextclouf

id say use the soical media in a browser and if u dont need a account use it over tor and all the people on telegram,messanger and whatsapp tell them about the privacy concerns with these apps and try and get them to move to simplexchat or matrix (especially if you self host) so theres no real drawback because they dont require any info of yours to work

another option if you want a hybrid is host a jellyfin instance with your music youbcan even install a lrclib plugin and get pretty good lyrics

lineage os has a pretty extensive device support or in theroy you could compile base android with none of the spookieness or bloat.

love this game its on fdroid to i think

i host my own but if you cant do that id reccoment one of the ones with the V html grade and with good uptime

gentoo would be here but its busy compiling a browser to view lemmy gimp to add its self in and its updates for the last year

Linux is like mechanical keyboards once you use it once theres no going back

keepassxc and keepassdx with keepass2android for redundancy

i used to use startpage before switching to searxng and its pretty good just the mobile app they beckon you to download is garbage and just chromium with a startpage paint job over it but if you just want the search engine for another browser its prob one the best

i use gentoo because i love the package manager and how in control i am of my desktop and for servers even though not linux ive been using open bsd because of secure it is and lightweight helps squeeze out little bit more performance from mt shit vps lol

synapse can be resource intensive but u can conduwuit or now tuwunel and its pretty lightweight https://github.com/girlbossceo/conduwuit https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel

NeoVim with NVchad stomps both

instead of matrix id say SimpleX-chat it uses tor a lot more
