Lovely.
I haven’t been able to get the Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) to run under Steam lately. I was able to get it running under Lutris, and it was fine until the 5.20 update. Haven’t been able to play at all. It was good while it lasted, I guess. Time to look for a new solution. If anybody has any recs, I’d love to hear them. I’m running Linux Mint 22.3.
EDIT
Thanks for the recommendations and advice, all! I’m going to give Heroic a shot and see how it goes.


Why do I get the feeling I will be distro hopping in the not-too-distant future?


Good news on the GrapheneOS front: Graphene will be available on hardware other than Pixels.
I like my Pixel 6 Pro just fine, but I’m nonetheless thrilled about this.

Google meant THEIR economic growth.


I bought a refurbished Pixel 6 Pro, carrier unlocked, for around $250. I also switched to an MVNO called Tello, and couldn’t be happier. If I should need to switch carriers, it’s going to be to another MVNO. I’m done with the major carriers.


I’ll have to check that one out.


Love Fossify’s music player and gallery apps. They’re simple and do their job.


One of the best feelings for me ever was when I cancelled my Micro$oft account after switching to Mint.
The freshness is real.


Shoutout to the crew at Lutris for their gaming platform as well. I play Guild Wars 2 and Elder Scrolls Online with it, and couldn’t be more pleased with the performance.


uBlock origin works fine in Vivaldi. It comes with its own ad blocker (based of of uBlock, I think). I’m not sure what their stance on Manifest v3 is. I would recommend hitting up their site https://vivaldi.com/


Yah. I’m a bit of a tab lightweight, I s’pose.


Honestly, it’s been so long since I used Firefox, I really don’t have a frame of reference. I’ll just say that I find the speed adequate for my needs, and I have multiple tabs open (12+).


I’m a fan of Vivaldi browser. Works great on Linux and Android. Bonus: Their leadership has gone on record stating there will be no AI in their browser.

EDIT
I recommend going to Ageless Linux’s site and reading up on their take on the whole issue. They clearly illustrate how poorly thought out the California law is.
