My favourite Matrix client is NeoChat.
Agree and hope it brings even better GNU/Linux gaming support, as it is the OS that is in this democratic users/people owned operating system, just as other free as in freedom and opensource collaborative software. In this regard Valve does quite a very good job of improving and sponsoring GNU/Linux, Mesa drivers KDE and other opensource projects. What all other gaming companies fail terribly at. What comes after Valve must be even better at it.
Well and behind it is stealing other peoples’ work (posts and comments, moderation and administration) and selling them as yours. The oldest capitalist criminal trick in the book: privatization AKA primitive accumulation AKA enclosure of the commons.
Those sociopaths burning the planet and pumping out all the water are completely out of touch with reality. They would rather destroy the planet for some Annoying Idiocy .
Crashing is the smallest problem. All that sypware, ads and artificial idiocy they are embedding in the bloated excuse of an OS is way worse than any crash. I am so glad I switched to GNU/Linux (openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma desktop, after seeing how well gaming works on Steam Deck I also switched to GNU/Linux for gaming) and it is so so much nicer to have an OS that is fast, stable and actually respects basic human rights like privacy and freedom.
It takes one to know one. Not much difference, if any, between Microsoft nad Google, and the rest of GAFAM/BigTech.
These GAFAM/BigTech corporations really are in a tough and fierce competition of which one is the shittiest and most privacy-invading don’t they. Ensittification overdrive mode in all of them.
I agree and hope that what comes after it is even better at supporting gaming on GNU/Linux and contributing to various libre and opensource projects like KDE and Proton and Mesa and such.

Best to switch to Firefox anyways, or even better privacy enhanced LibreWolf
This project is a custom and independent version of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM.
Better to use Kubuntu edition, much better desktop and less crap that is nowdays in Ubuntu.
I hope not. Had very bad experience with these and toxicity they enabled on Xitter and one of the main reasons why I left it for mastodon quite early. I would much more like to see if they focused on making it possible to also migrate posts when you change an instance/server.
It’s the heavy graphics used which looks like it uses WebGL and this is disabled in LibreWolf since it can easily be used for fingerprinting a user. It would be great if they could not use such heavy graphics if WebGL is not supported and just used simple static image or something like that. Well it would be great in general not just for privacy reasons.
Or they just found out that Windows process scheduler is still broken beyond repair. If you look at the benchmarks on GNU/Linux performance is all there. For example see Phoronix benchmark
Yeah I am so glad I switched to GNU/Linux years ago, Have to keep supporting closed OSes at work with our software and with each release they are just getting worse and worse, while GNU/Linux just keeps getting better.

I am also gaming a lot and used nvidia in the past and by the description you give I would say openSUSE Tumbleweed is the one. It is rolling release, but they also have extensive QA tests before letting packages get released as updates so it is very stable for a rolling release. And another thing that openSUSE is awesome for is that they have BTRFS snappshotting very nicely configured out of the box so before and after each update it creates a snappshot and if something goes wrong you can just select an old working snappshot from GRUB boot menu. And with Nvidia this breakage was happening well more often the I would like. I also like their Open Build Service where you can find many additional packages which might not be packaged by distro people themselves.
