I use windscribe. Happy so far, and direct connection works well enough. Also stReam deck (Elgato). It works pretty well on my Legion go too.

Monitor snapping issues (program opens on the wrong monitor and figuring out how to force it somewhere else), VPN program not working because it’s an immutable distro, Stream deck unexpected behaviour (What functions can it use, sometimes it disconnected on a different usb hub) etc. Also some incompatibilities, can’t use fusion 360 (didn’t work at all last time i tried it)

There are a few others but those come to mind.

Well, sure. Still had a bunch of unexpected weird stuff.

This is the actual reason i didn’t end up going with win11, and tried Linux. Seemed like about a similar amount of bullshit to get to know my way around linux as it did doing regedits and getting around using an account.

I am now firmly in the camp of every option being terrible in some way.

Still using bazzite though, so it’s not worse.

I mean, fair enough. I do not really care either way, i just want to make stalling out the individual person impossible.

Exactly. Companies shouldn’t get better treatment when they behave worse.

Edit: Totally would be ok with longer timelines though, as companies can be slower for understandable reasons.

It needs to be as easy to go after companies doing this shit as it is to collect dept from individuals (at least how it works here). No courts, just a government office where you can make your claim and the company needs to put effort in to dispute that. Anything else and they can just drag their feet.

I read the part 1 of that and the reasons range from image concerns, to data security issues, to talking to the completely wrong fucking person because they don’t understand the governemt structure, to just getting ghosted. And there are a few more. It was a very funny read to me.

Having switched to bazzite because i was used to it from the legion go and it being perfectly fine for my stuff, all i need is for it to be MUCH more noob friendly. Like, i know several people i couldn’t recommend it to yet because it takes some effort on finding out how to do stuff.
