This is good bait, I laughed, lmao'd even.

Are you sure that Steam is uninstalled completely from your filesystem. Steam creates a ".steam" user directory and leftover data in the directory may be conflicting with the flatpak. Delete it if it exists and then try restarting your computer. The flatpak version of steam sandboxes the .steam directory.

As always, Steam is proprietary software and doesn't bother to follow freedesktop standards. The support I can give can only go so far. GOG is always a better solution as it can be used with a libre client like Heroic Games Launcher or Lutris without DRM or invasive anti features. You do not need Steam to leverage Valve's contributions with Proton and Vulkan.

I would recommend using the flatpak version of steam and seeing if that works before heading any further.

Yeah, it's misleading but technically still correct. GNU/Linux is a variant of an OS using the linux kernel.

Edit: nevermind they didn't even mention GNU tar but instead calls it "Linux"

Piracy is always moral. These types of comments ignore the fact that "game devs" don't actually have full control of their works but instead is split through a larger publishing/corporation and shareholders. Game devs have very little autonomy or personal agency at all.

Bait, lmao. Why do you keep wasting everyones time?

I would commend this if Iran or the other arab nations were still committed to wiping out the zionist entity. It is called Al naksa for a reason!

I always turn on KDE telemetry since it doesnt collect any identifiable info.

But honestly, privacy is not the same as anonymity. I would also turn on fedoras proposed telemetry if the draft bill gets approved.

I consider that an absolute win for queers. Corporate pandering can eat shit.

Not having any control over your computing. CS illiteracy is really scary. The world looks grim from the libre software world.

What do you mean by China is lol?

ZorinOS is definitely overrated, their update cycles are too slow (two years between major releases) and its unique features like ZorinConnect, Windows Software Tool , and their Zorin customized GNOME 42/XFCE isn't good enough against its sibling Mint.
