Everyday user of CachyOS (after trying a few other distros, this one seems to be so far the best for my use case scenario).

I play a few games (used to stream videogames although not for a living but wasn't a small streamer with 1 or 2 viewers). The one that I've been playing the most is The First Descendant (I'm a Destiny 2 fan and now that there's no more Destiny, I'm trying to find my next game).

I game about 3-4 hours every evening unless I have something to do. My last 300 hours or so have been all in CachyOS. It's super stable and I'm a nitpicky guy (for example, I run Windows still for those kernel level anti cheat games, with Secure Mode on, and although even CachyOS doesn't support it out of the box, `sbctl` is the best solution to enable it and quite easy to do so!)

Performance is comparable, it's basically some Wine bottles or, thanks to the SteamDeck, a Proton environment with GPU passthrough. For The First Descendant, which doesn't work OOTB with Steam's Proton, I installed ProtonGE (not super hard to install, there's a flatpak of a few apps that can do it automatically for you) and that works great. I need to tell it to enable the Linux anti cheat and since TFD uses Easy Anti-cheat, it's an env var away (which you can configure from the Steam settings for that game).

Performance-wise I actually get better framerate. Presumably because nowadays windows comes with so much nonsense running in the background that I bet you the fact they're not running in the Wine bottle is perfect.

Happy to answer any other questions!

I finally put my "securenote.app" domain to good use. It's a note taking service with markdown support where the data is fully encrypted before it even leaves your computer with no way for me to see your notes (as I don't have access to the password that encrypted it).

Still iterating on it, including a potential improvement to the (very simple) design.

Technology, engineering and a few other tidbits. Need to update it a bit further though!

Not a Discord fan either but whole companies are now using Discord like if it is Slack. I don't think the product looks amateur by having a Discord.

They seem to use Stripe for payments. I would probably go there.

Native Spanish speaker that builds software for English speaking markets: I don't think I would write a software or make screenshots where I would think first to put names like Juan or Pedro in them if the target audience is English speakers.

When you're writing English it just feels like the names flow better, that's all (like, avoiding stutter in a sentence, but with names). I don't think it would be fair to say we're just not honoring our roots

I provided consulting for a mobile carrier before. The reason why this doesn't happen is because once you do apply data caps, users often try to "not eat their entire allocation the first day" because otherwise they would lose internet halfway through the month.

The same reason as to why you don't use your entire paycheque at the beginning of each month when it drops.

Granted though, in terms of internet, this is not a detriment (at least not enough) to think you won't have internet by the end of the month. But that'd the thinking behind caps, that people would even out their usage through the month.

If you read the article, it does state that a passport does carry a "RealID", so yes, passports are one form of it.

DNS based ad blocking is slightly different than VPN based blocking. VPN is there for people running environments where DoH is not yet supported.

Newer versions of iOS, Android and Windows support it already.
