Heroic Games Launcher supports GoG pretty well. You can install it with Flatpak using Discover in desktop mode.
When you login to GoG and install a game, you will be able to “Add it to Steam” (top-right hamburger menu in game’s view) and it should then be available in your “Non-steam games” in gaming mode.
Other options are Bottles and Lutris
Same as any other font. Add it to ~/.fonts or /usr/local/fonts. You might also have something like font browser already preinstalled, and usually there’s an Install button
Windows on external USB drive, disconnected after each use
Yes, I wanted to do that on stock Ubuntu and doing that on a side (I install it mostly just to /opt) is less invasive than replacing core system packages using packages from Neon. It’s rather not intended to use Neon repos when it’s not Neon. Besides, I wanted to spend 15h on tinkering I guess :)
I have no idea how something like that would work. I was stuck on it calling natively installed executables via dbus and with it uninstalled it wouldn’t launch. I didn’t try too deep, but I don’t think I would be perfectly happy with running everything inside Podman container and having to go outside additionally for native accees wasn’t super fun when I played with Hyprland run like that. Trying to integrate it with display manager and keep it secure wasn’t fun either.

Still great to see such press
No surprises there, just the usual shit
Bazzite, huh?

No higher education, no certifications, just 10 years of experience on different IT job positions, raging from junior web dev to big DevOps projects.
In my experience (I’m in EU/PL) what matters most are actual technical skills and ability to demonstrate them on interview. I changed my job like 5 times and each time I aim for slightly more advanced work and slightly better revenue.
KVM + Qemu + libvirt + virt-manager = ❤️
It is actually easier and more friendly for more advanced and technical users. I switched to Arch from Ubuntu 12 years ago after dealing with yet another dependency hell and 3rd party repo breakage. I gave it a shot (which was easy as Arch had a tui installer back then) and was shocked how easy it is to get everything running the way I wanted it comparing to anything Debian-based.
Yeah, but it was so commonly used that it was also added to Wayland
Exactly, while RTFM I haven’t have a single issue (apart from the driver quirks itself) and even automated the driver patching for NvFBC. Usual error is using nvidia-dkms and not setting up proper hook to rebuild the kernel module on kernel updates.
What are you talking about? I wish I could do stuff like installing or managing my Arch installations more often, as it’s very relaxing and satisfying. The problem is, my installs never break and there’s nothing to do about them most of the time. I work in IT however and my job throws rocks at me all the time with some bullshit corporate software and horrible Sysadm/DevOps practices and boy’oboy is it frustrating….
No. Nobody cares, no matter what MS does. They can literally crap on users faces and they’ll happily lick it as long is Windows is the supported platform. And it will stay like that for decades to come.
We can expect some growth, because the tech savvy PC enthusiasts might want to look for alternatives, and if the desktop Linux is good enough, some will stick to it, some will go back, as it was always for last 30 years.
As for Windows plugins with no native Linux version, there are ways to use VSTs over Wine. Check out Yabridge project. There’s no guarantee that 100% of plugins will work, but many do pretty well. It requires some additional setup, but once it’s done, you don’t have to think about it much, just call yabridgectl when you add new plugins to sync them (it creates stub library that is seen as Linux native, but it wraps Windows plugin using Wine)
Reaper is perfectly fine choice if you’re already familiar with it, but here are some other you may want to look at:

What language is this, I guess (Serbo-)Croatian? I’m Polish and I can understand it partially. What’s „računarstvo”? Computing, programming…?
That’s the English language in a nutshell from my perspective as non-native
