Talk about dedication, I love that

Especially if you're not gonna play stuff that the anticheat locks you out from, the experience is great. As other commenters have said, ProtonDB.com has resources for how well games on steam run under Proton / On Linux.

Although, I would recommend Nobara Linux over Chimera OS due to a lack of experience with Proton and other gaming-related tools (as in, Chimera developers' lack of experience). Nobara Linux comes from the same developer as Proton-GE (GloriousEggroll). Proton is the tool that Valve developed to run Windows games pretty much seemlessly, and Proton-GE adds extra features and patches on-top of it that can help support more games or get the slightest extra bit of performance out of Proton. Nobara Linux extends this concept to the entire OS, with a stable Fedora base that gets a major update every ~6 months.

Nobara also consitently outperforms other Linux Distributions and even Windows regularly.

(This doesn't mean that you don't get updates for 6 months, just that major releases, e.g from 39 to 40 happen every ~6 months)

Note that dropping support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 came as part of a butterfly effect of the Chromium project - which Steam depends on - dropping support.

I know.

Not only have I written about this before on related forums, but also have I talked and partially written about the AVBRoot Project and others which bring root access closer to the Android security model.

That's not what I'm doubting here. I was raising awareness to the fact that a computer physically cannot be truly random. I know that pseudorandomness is enough as we cannot perceive a difference easily.

CSPRNG literally stands for "cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator". All randomness in computers is pseudorandom. Not TRULY random

Radioactive sources for randomness aren't really just put into your average household PC or phone either for obvious reasons.

There's other reasons to use Magisk for this instead, like not having a VPN slot free or wanting to use another DNS Server

PiHole allows temporarily disabling, including a time (e.g "disable for 30 seconds/2 minutes/1 hour) and setting different filters for different users ;)

We shouldn't judge people for past decisons when new info comes out, especially when that new info makes them change. It will take some time for people to move and find a viable alternative.

I do not intend this to be an attack of any kind, please be more considerate of the fact that changes can't be made instantly when you have an audience to move.

Well, computers physically cannot be random, they rely on logic

Note that for this attack to work, you have to be on Android 11 or below (or possibly an earlier patch) as by default accessibility services aren't allowed to draw-over or interact with elements in the settings app unless you explicitly override it in developer options.

This extends to some other areas, like for when biometric/system lock APIs are used.

You might have noticed that even on Firefox (depending on your lists) YouTube may detect uBlock Origin on Firefox now

There's already a workaround (found, again, here), but I figured I would use this opportunity to tell people that projects like Piped and Invidious exist, which both allow you to watch YouTube without loading their ads, with improved Privacy and (in the case of Piped) even Geoblocking-Circumvention and SponsorBlock out of the box.

They're both great tools, and using something like LibRedirect you can even automatically go to Piped or Invidious when clicking/opening a YouTube link (and more).

Both don't load ads, but unless changed in the settings Individous may still make connections to Google/YouTube to load the video(s) themselves.

Bit of a shameless plug for these projects, but I figured this is a really good time to show these projects as I often see people asking what they are in threads on here
