Since ProtonDB is proprietary and also directly linked with Steam games instead of any game possible, I was looking around for open source alternatives to it. I found Are we anti cheat yet which is pretty cool but it's limited just to the anti cheat working or not, and also PC Gaming wiki which is for all games but no longer for Linux compatibility in specific, so the answers are also much more vague.

Is there anything I haven't discovered? It seems like there's no good alternative to it currently, not even one that just lacks user input.

How does one optimize for better system temperatures on Linux while doing heavy tasks (e.g. gaming) during summer heat.

Are there tools for creating 'gaming/balanced/economy' profiles for example that limit the GPU and CPU depending on the requirements?

Should I find a way to customize fan speeds?

I am trying to find everything I should do from the software perspective before I move on to buying better cooling hardware.

I am currently reaching 100+ celsius temps maximum on both the GPU and CPU while gaming, on idle it's like this:

I want to create a choice driven game where you will mostly just be picking dialogue options, and I want it to be able to export to Web, Android and PC. There should also be a lot of freedom in the visual design.

What tool/engine do you recommend? I don't care about the languages, I'm open to learning anything.

I'd personally lean towards Godot because I wanted to try it out regardless of this project.

service-lookup lets you automatically port forward all the required Kubernetes pods that you need for local testing and updating your URIs in property YAML files recursively.

It is now also configurable, lets you automatically revert the files after cleanup, and caches namespaces for performance improvement.

My current phone is starting to annoy me after 7 years of usage (Xiaomi Note 8 Pro) and I'm thinking of finally getting a new one. With that in mind, I'm considering setting up a De-Googled OS as well, but there are a few things that I cannot compromise on:

• Google Maps (I need the live traffic data when in a hurry, otherwise CoMaps is very nice)
• Banking Apps (I've checked them in the GrapheneOS list and they do seem to work)
• Instagram (it sucks I know, but I like not being a hermit)
• Company Portal & Teams (absolute garbage, but I need it for work)

If any one of these aren't guaranteed to work, then it's not an option for me right now.

If they do work, which De-Googled OS should I go for? GrapheneOS does seem like the most private one and maybe the most likely to remain worked on and supported for a long time, but it means that I'm going to have to buy a Pixel, probably a refurbished one.

Lastly, if I install another OS and regret it, is it possible to install the stock OS again?

Edit: Also, what happens after Google's "Unverified App" decision has passed, will this affect these alternative OS?

Here is the message where he found out what happened:

I didn't receive any information about it but when creating a support ticket I was told my account has been flagged and I had to do some extra verification. I've created a support ticket now and will keep you posted. I'll believe it's nothing major though, I use 2FA everywhere, the last commit on all repos is what I expect, and all sessions and usages look fine

Absolutely fuck Github and Microslop, they can just vanish your projects without notice whenever they want with barely any justification for it, and then take their sweet time to fix it too.

What are some significant differences to expect when switching to an alternative, and can that affect gaming compatibility and performance?

[Update: I went with CachyOS instead, it looks like a great option for gaming with general usage and has a really good wiki]

A coworker of mine asked me to help him install Linux, he hasn't tried Linux before but he's sick of Windows.

He is very much into gaming, so gaming support is the first priority. He is also a developer/tester so I suppose that he will also want to have access to dev tools, languages, and other packages like that for personal projects.

My first go-to when recommending to newbies is Mint because it's simple, tried and tested, but I have been hearing a lot about Bazzite lately and see that it offers a very nice gaming experience. However it scares me that there's no typical package management like apt or pacman as I browse their docs, instead it relies heavily on Flatpaks and brew, or even podman images. Will this be a problem as he uses the OS for general usage besides gaming in the long term, would it be better to just go with Mint and set that up for gaming instead?

Feel free to also recommend other distros, but keep in mind that while he is technical, he is still completely new to this so I want things to work out perfectly for his first experience.
