If you want to play a game together over XLinkKai shoot me a message. I have an original Xbox, PS2, and a PS3 I can use.

I feel they might do alright on Discord because of how focused engagement is on their subreddit. I imagine subreddits where users need to respond to a single post like /r/AskReddit or even news subreddits would struggle and get chaotic quite quickly

Yeah I get that. I wasn’t suggesting Invidious. I was saying NewPipe is a good option because you can port your subscriptions to other platforms.
You don’t need to start fresh every time you start using an open source alternative.
That said it would work in OP’s situation because it’s pretty much platform agnostic and there are available apps to make it easier to use on the Play Store. I still think NewPipe is the way to go though because it’s designed for Android.
Yeah. As long as you don’t make any alterations to the VM like sharing drives for example. If you had enough storage you could also make snapshots on occasion so you have a back up in the event of malware but you wouldn’t likely get malware unless you are opening the files on that VM

Worth noting you can export your subscriptions on NewPipe so you can bring them to other platforms.
On PC you can you use Individious

In 1982, the United States Border Patrol set up a roadblock and inspection point on US 1 just north of the merger of Monroe County Road 905A/Miami-Dade County Road 905A onto US 1 (they are the only two roads connecting the Florida Keys with the mainland), in front of the Last Chance Saloon just south of Florida City. Vehicles were stopped and searched for narcotics and illegal immigrants. The Key West City Council complained repeatedly about the inconvenience for travelers to and from Key West, claiming that it hurt the Keys’ important tourism industry. Eastern Air Lines, which had a hub at Miami International Airport, saw a window of opportunity when the roadblocks were established; Eastern was at the time the only airline to establish jet service to Key West International Airport, counting on travelers from Key West to Miami preferring to fly rather than to wait for police to search their vehicles.
When the city council’s complaints went unanswered by the U.S. federal government and attempts to get an injunction against the roadblock failed in court, as a form of protest Mayor Dennis Wardlow and the council declared Key West’s independence on April 23, 1982. In the eyes of the council, since the U.S. federal government had set up the equivalent of a border station as if they were a foreign nation, they might as well become one. As many of the local citizens were referred to as Conchs, the micronation took the name of the Conch Republic.
As part of the protest, Mayor Wardlow was proclaimed prime minister of the republic, which immediately declared war against the United States (symbolically breaking a loaf of stale Cuban bread over the head of a man dressed in a naval uniform), quickly surrendered after one minute (to the man in the uniform), and applied for one billion dollars in foreign aid.

Check ProtonDB and the PCGamingWiki.
If Proton gives it a good rating or recommends certain fixes try installing the game and running it without them then move onto the fixes.
If it’s an older or obscure game try the PCGamingWiki. A lot of fixes for Windows games work on Linux. For example game that rely on Games For Windows Live (which stopped working years ago) typically require a tweak or two. Normally it’s a file you just drop into the games directory. Lots of installer scripts on Lutris typically utilize a no-CD fix either because they don’t play well with modern operating systems or they know most people don’t have a CD drive.
If none of that works try searching the game with the keywords Linux and Reddit. /r/Linux_Gaming is a fantastic community. They don’t allow piracy but many of the fixes and “Does X game work?” post translate over.
This goes for pretty much all repackers and DRM-free games like I’ve said.
Plenty of games are on GOG and Itch.io and they don’t have DRM.
