Sea of thieves has been working on Linux for years, and really well. I regularly play it on both my Linux gaming rig and on my Steam Deck, it runs awesome on both.
Always eat your greens!

Linux Mint OS, QBitTorrent for the client, Proton VPN for the VPN with qBitTorrent bound to only that interface and port to ensure no IP leaks.
Works Awesome.
As somebody who works in IT at a Windows-only environment, I know exactly what you mean.
I have to fight with Windows on a weekly basis. Driver issues, firmware issues, software crashes/lockups, performance issues, etc etc.
Just this week, I have two users experiencing issues with their monitors. Identical enterprise grade laptops, identical drivers, identical docking stations, all totally up to date on Windows 11. Their old Windows 10 computers worked fine. Still trying to figure out what’s wrong.
I’ve used two, NameCheap, and PorkBun.
Hated Namecheap, would never use them again. Janky pricing, tons of email spam, terrible UI.
Porkbun has been pretty great. Simple, solid prices, easy to use, no issues for about a year and a half.
Speak for yourself, Jellyfin has been awesome for me. Fantastic piece of software.
Yeah, ironically Arch overall has been more stable for me than Fedora lol.
Debian of course is amazing.
Good point, I only a had a few AUR packages installed, so that probably made things more stable.
Yeah, not worth it to just have the command line unfortunately. 🫤
If I can find a solid job somewhere else, for sure.
Jellyfin is love, Jellyfin is life.
Timeshift has turned my system breaking updates and tinkering into a non-issue. I just set up all my systems with it right off the bat. One snapshot per day, one weekly, and one monthly.
Since doing that, I’ve never had to toss a totally borked install.
I was one of the lucky users who used Manjaro on my old laptop for over a year and never had any real problems.
I was very confused when I started getting more involved in the Linux community and kept hearing about how terrible Manjaro was.
For me, vanilla Fedora has actually been the most consistently problematic distro. I’ve had more random issues getting it set up and working properly than any other distro.
God bless Mint though, it has been basically flawless for years.
Yeah, it really bites. And no, they don’t allow anything personal other than phones.
At least I get to use the Thinkpad, even if it is gimped with Windows. They initially weren’t even going to allow that, because their company deploys only HP laptops.
But I made a strong and slightly pathetic case to the manager and he relented. Angry that I had to kiss the ring, but right now I need the money, and I really hated their clunky HP laptops.
For sure, I’m on it already.
Harsh but fair, edited lol.
Thank you, I might join in spirit heh 👊
Sadly, that’s been my experience for years in IT, at least where I live in the US.
I rarely encounter an IT person who knows what Linux is beyond “a hacker OS” or some arcane system from the 80’s that’s still running deep in a basement somewhere.
FOSS = janky freeware in their minds. They’ve usually never even heard of XCP-ng, OpenShift, TrueNAS, Bitwarden, PFSense, or any of the other professionally supported and enterprise-grade open source technologies.
For sure, already reaching out to recruiters and applying to some job postings.
Thank you 🫶
Cyb3rMaddy does more cyber security content, but she has a fair bit of Linux content too, same with LaurieWired.
VeronicaExplains is my favorite for pure Linux content.
