Originally I was looking at Arch based distros such as Manjaro and EndeavourOS, during which I found out Manjaro is somewhat pointless because you pretty much should not use the AUR on Manjaro or else you will break the system inevitably. EndeavourOS looked solid though.

I personally wouldn't recommend Manjaro, they've some questionable decisions and even failed to do some basic things, like failing to renew their SSL certificate, which happened at least twice.

However, I got a few suggestions regarding openSuSE Tumbleweed as a better alternative to Arch based distros and just wanted to know what are the pros and cons of OpenSuSE compared to Arch based distros from your experience?

Well, the two aren't all that different. openSUSE has an better installer, which offers even full disk encryption, automated partitioning for disks in BTRFS with backups enabled. One big plus I can see in openSUSE's favour is YaST, the graphical utility for system configuration, and allows you to configure nearly everything in a GUI.

Arch, memes aside, is relatively stable in my experience, only having problems once or twice with Nvidia drivers. I think that Arch's biggest advantage is the AUR. Also one big plus of it's install method is that if you read the documentation during the install process, and try to understand it, you'll get a much clearer picture of how a linux system works in the "backend".

Both distros are rolling, and the speed that packages arrive in zypper (openSUSE's package manager) vs pacman (Arch's) is rather small in my opinion. Personally, I lean more towards openSUSE, but both are good.

Going by the previous games, should work eventually. Seems, however, that there is a bug in either proton or the game itself that makes it fail to launch at the moment in NVIDIA cards.

It’s been pretty fun so far, yeah. It’s just what I was expecting pretty much, an Bethesda game (and fallout 4 to a greater extent), in space.

Just wish they’d added a proper map instead of that scan line lookalike.

I started first in 2012-ish with Linux. That’s when I first heard of it, and decided to spin an VM with Ubuntu 12.04. Though initially I didn’t use it in real hardware for sometime, eventually I did install Fedora and been pretty happy ever since. Nowadays mostly use openSUSE and Arch.

Usually, Denuvo is mentioned in the EULA of the games, so going by this metric, it’s unlikely for it to have Denuvo since there's no mention of it.

These days, mostly Lemmy as a social media. I do have an instagram account I use too, but mostly because my circle of friends are all completely addicted to it, and they send me stuff all the time. I used to use a reddit a lot, was my go to time killer app, but since the whole debacle I’ve barely used it and been mostly here.

What’s wrong with Authy?

Nvm, I misread your question. Using a VPN is only necessary if your server is behind a CGNAT or your ISP disallows you to open ports manually.

No, you don’t need a VPN If you open the port that plex uses. Then users can just log on their accounts and it should pull everything!

Edit for accuracy.

Anyone has a link to what prompted this response?

There are a few rumours that Apple might drop the WebKit requirement soon, due to some laws adopted by the EU, however there has been no official response or comment by Apple so far.
