Try resetting your Firefox profile. Sometimes a weird setting can break browsers in spectacular ways.

This was a big one for me, for the longest time I could not figure out why I couldn't get YouTube to play videos over 1080p for me in Firefox on my PC, it ended up being some weird setting that I changed in about:config (I sadly cannot recall which one) a long time ago - but I'd always copied my Firefox profile with me so that bad setting stuck around.

Just in case you (or anyone else) weren't aware, Rocket League can still be played perfectly on Linux via Steam by just force enabling Proton - however nonetheless I 100% agree.

This is what I've been playing too, and I'm having an absolute blast with it!

I usually just get by with Alacritty and Zellij, pairs pretty well together.

I'm just hoping I can relax my mind and stop worrying about the things that plagued me over the week, and then promptly start worrying about them when Monday comes back around of course!

IIRC this was in regards to Microsoft wanting to close access to the kernel, while also still wanting to use kernel-level APIs for their security suite - which does come down to anticompetitive practices.

However, if Microsoft were not to offer separate products that used kernel-level APIs then in theory it would not have this same issue, which I assume is how Apple gets away with it. But, I am not a lawyer so its just speculation on my part.

Yeah, blizzard games have pretty much always worked for me on Linux, they were among the first games to "just work" on Linux without a lot of hassle for me.

If they're using Fedora, then it is highly likely that they are using GRUB as you have to very much go out of your way to utilize systemd-boot on Fedora the last time I checked.

Your theme looks great! I'd definitely love to hear when the new one comes out!

It previously showed a controller icon next to your name if you were either playing on Steam Deck or in Big Picture Mode - now there's a separate icon for the Steam Deck rather than both using the same controller icon
