While I still enjoy the older titles more, I've been having a lot of fun with this one. Terminus is definitely a top 10 map, maybe even top 5

I'm well aware. I enjoy the game all the same. Besides, I think people overstate how bad rammers are. Yeah it happens sometimes, but most people want the same thing you do: a clean race

Yeah I thought it would be a long shot but I figured i should mention it just in case, good luck finding a distro

My problem is that I want to choose when to listen to the same song a million times. When spotify gets in the loop of playing the same songs over and over, it becomes very difficult to force it to break out of it when i get tired of it. If I tell spotify to shuffle my playlist, I want spotify to shuffle my goddamn playlist

I know you said you want to use KDE, but Pop is actually working on their own DE, called Cosmic, to be released with the 24.04 version. It's currently still in alpha, so it's far from finished, but if you're trialing other distros anyway I don't think it would hurt to boot it up and explore it (at least for a few minutes)

All these companies do is make it easier to use wireguard, if you're so afraid of them just use wireguard yourself, you'll get the same effect

Say gex

Are you being intentionally dense?

Wow it took me a minute to make sense of this picture. I thought the nostrils were eyes and I was looking at a hamster or something

I'm gonna go with Forza (Assetto Corsa also works to a lesser extent). Sure the focus of the game is on racing, but it can be extremely relaxing to hop into any car you want from any era and just take a cruise and look at the scenery

Adding denuvo later wouldn't do any good, if a game launches without it it's going to get cracked instantly

About the second point, your pc shouldn't be putting any resources towards a VM if it isn't active. Just shut it down, close it, and play games on your host as normal.

One more thing, I'm assuming you're doing your gaming on Steam. Check ProtonDB for all of your games to see if they work on Linux (protondb only lists steam games, so if you have games as well, I've found a google search usually does the trick). You might find that you don't even need a VM
