Wireguard

This is one of those things when you pretend like the argument is about something that no one could disagree with instead of the actual issues to downplay everything.

Bye Bye

I can’t speak for the standard situation but for BG3 it isn’t “cracked” it ist does not contain DRM. AFAIK this is true for BG3 across all sources for purchasing. You should be fine to play with him.

It seems like you are assigning your own beliefs and values on things and then claiming that people who don’t share them are at a deficit. AKA a dumbass.

He probably had router access.

This would have been new information 5 years ago.

Yes speed decreases are typical. Pick what’s more important to you the speed or using the vpn.

That’s basically just having kids but with less steps.

If the transfers already are slow using rclone, have you considered just mounting the directories you are using on the Hetzner to your local computer and just downloading the torrents directly to the mounted directories? It would stop using space on your local machine but you would still get to interface with the files like they were local. Also like you said the transfer speed is slow already so its shouldn’t be much of a hit on your speed or it might even make it better depending on how rclone is handling things. I’m not to familiar with rclone so I can say much about it.

If I had to guess you probably live in a big city in the center. This means when you activate “Show bluetooth devices without names” in the developer settings of your android 13 phone, there appear loads of devices. You probably have no clue what they are because none of them are your devices so why would you know what they are?

Counting Crows

When in doubt grep the contents of every file and grab a beer while you wait.

sudo grep -rnw “libpango-1.0.so.0 pango-1.24.0_1” /

“In most cases, the add-on just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it’s needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what’s easier to do).”

I have used Linux for around 10 years. My daily driver has changed a couple times but I always go back to Mint. I think its better than Ubuntu personally. Its what I always recommend and I’ve been a sys admin for 5 years and dealt with production environments across all the core distros.

All that said it really depends on what programs you are using. Some have alternatives sure but sometimes that’s not enough. Sometimes you will have a program that just pins you to Windows until you don’t need it anymore.

You should list out what things you use that you need. Take some recommendations on their alternatives or how to set them up in Linux and see if it sounds like it’d work for you.
