Nearly every game will just work, unless you play a Competitive Game with a kernel anti-cheat. (Looking at you valorant). Https://protondb.com search for the game(s) you play, and hey presto it's fine.

Obviously it's primarily targeted at steam games, Lutris will sort you out with any other windows game (a game manager like steam but for _nearly every_ game)

Do it! Every day Linux is better and better than before, where as windows is... not so good.

Sure there are edge cases like having to use Libre Office instead of Word, but just think of that $100/y saving you'll be having by switching! & Possibly even get a more responsive system!

If you wanted, you honestly could stay on X11 for the next decade. I highly doubt it's going anywhere. Also, no matter what your workflow is, you can write a program to do that. I'd guarantee you could write a small script to automate Wayland to do what you need

As a non American, I was unable to learn what this was about due to a forced Regional Popup which made me to go a local reseller (which of course, did not have any listing for the brand new item)

Thanks for the blog post link

Back in 2013-15 I was fortunate enough to know some people at BoM, specifically done IT people.

Their off hand comment around why BOM didn't have https was due to the amount of overhead and infrastructure changes needed to make that https change.

Fast forward to 2018ish they recently created a new API, and a new website. Https://Weather.bom.gov.au with https enabled! (which I now have integrated into a raspberry pi and an eink display for my morning weather).

For whatever (archaic) reason the new weather webui is now defunct but the api still exists, uses https, and as far as I know supports their mobile applications.

All it would take is for some ISPs here to mitm the traffic with ads / junk and maybe they would change it. The upside to this story is that it is currently a great site to visit for captive portal detection.

Oops! I certainly should have!

Certigo is ZeroSSL for all intensive purposes (as far as I am concerned) so probably close to all of them were acme clients.

Digicert has been pushing acme for a while now, but it's a bit annoying as you (my company) needed to prepay/have a line of credit for it, or some annoyance that didn't make it as seemless as LE/ZeroSSL.

I think for digicert any of the certs with 89/90 day expiry would be acme renewals with a near 100% certainty.

Ive been using SoGo as part of Mailcow for over 5 years now. Absolutely amazing. Enables the wife and I to share the shopping list!

Tasks in the calendar become Notes on iPhone! Works amazingly well.

Technically it's not a proxy. As every device (apparently) connects directly to Apple's servers.
