I have also come across Windscribe, which seems reasonably well respected. Sadly, they make you pay extra for a static IP and port forwarding.

AirVPN has a lot of people complaining about connection speed.

Options are drying up 😒

Also curious. I left Mullvad because they stopped supporting port forwarding. Proton seemed like the best second option privacy/feature/price wise at the time. IVPN was touted highly around that time, but it appears they have also phased out port forwarding

I disagree with this as a default, but think it might be a good idea as something users could toggle.

You're sick, he's sick, we're all sick! SICK!

Also i have a second panel at the top of my second monitor so i can always see the current date and time.

I think this one is probably very popular. I had a very hard time giving Gnome a chance because of its inability to do this by default.

Yeah, I suppose that may be it. Thanks for the insight.

Am I missing something? Nothing in the ML thread you were in reads remotely close to flaming to me.

Debian has all the updated packages one needs for gaming just as well as the other distros.

Yes and no, but I agree with the overall sentiment. Debian is entirely fine for gaming.

People in this thread have very interesting ideas of what "shit hardware" is

Thanks for the explanation. I was hoping it was this instead of "I disagree!"

EAC Seems broken on Arch? (lemmy.simpl.website)

I recently installed BattleBit Remastered on Steam (uses EAC). Upon trying to run the game, I only get as far as a screen telling me to ensure EAC is installed. I tried their "repair EAC" option in steam, and there was no change (a terminal opens, blinks, and closes again). I tried a system update to see if that would help, but no dice.

Now, when I try to launch Apex Legends (a game which I play all the time), I see EAC loading extremely slowly, then it goes away, but the game never launches (though Steam still shows the title as running).

Is anyone else having issues right now (with an up to date system)? Has anyone else experienced this before?

Edit: Decided to format my OS drive and move to Fedora. Using the same steam library, both games are now working. Clearly some package ended up misconfigured, but I have no idea what or why.
