In case you're not aware, and for any uninitiated that see this comment https://www.protondb.com/app/1086940 protondb is a fantastic database of Linux compatible games and crowd sourced suggestions on getting the best performance.

Baldurs Gate 3 ran flawless for me, but everyone's mileage may very depending on computer specs and Linux distro. Proton, and its counter part Proton-GE, work wonderfully the majority of the time. Biggest issue I run into anymore is anti cheat. Which can also be verified by https://areweanticheatyet.com/

For reference, I'm running all AMD with hardware thats a few years old now. Fedora 41 with some tweaks like feralinteractives' gamemode installed. You can install and use ProtonUp-QT to manage the Proton-GE versions and keep them up to date. I've been primarily Linux at home for a couple of years and have not missed windows. I hope more people are encouraged to try Linux and see what it has to offer

Late to the post, but a friend got this on their phone when they tried opening it again

For anyone scrolling, I've followed a similar rule. Except an is used anytime the following word makes a phonetic vowel sound. E.g ah, eh, ee, oh, ooh

I'll also add this to my google search, thank you!

That would be the best description, and sorry for the confusing reference. Just wanted to try and give perspective on orientation without taking another picture. Definitely laziness on my part

I'll also admit that I've been struggling to figure out why when I middle mouse click to open a new tab, that it opens a new tab that searches what was previously on my clipboard. It never occurred to me that middle click pasted outside of the terminal until I started seeing posts about the Firefox news

Late, but maybe nextdns. I haven't actually tried with YouTube on an iPhone/ipad, but I know they integrate pretty easily on Apple devices. Fairly customizable too with a free tier, just need to make a profile.

You could definitely get a basic 5.1 setup going about 1k. I went with an onkyo tx-nr6050 and a klipsch 5.1 reference theater pack. It blows every soundbar I've used out of the water, I would say the q990d has the benefit of having two back speakers and the convenience of being wireless.

I'd say if you get a return option on the soundbar setup, give it a shot. And if it doesn't meet your expectations then return and look into a budget AVR and some speakers.

I'll add it to my google searches, thank you!

That does look like a great place to start, thank you!
