Protondb says to use proton 7.x, but the rest doesn’t seem to happen to anyone else:

A vpn is not a proxy and cannot do anything to protect you beyond changing your exit point. You are not anonymous using a vpn, especially not with any vpn that has servers in a five eyes country.

If you’re logged in a vpn that’s also true of the vpn, and all these measures are not stopping FAANGS

Linux can mount windows drives (I don’t recommend it, but it can if you need a file).

Windows cannot mount Linux drives (in theory ext2fsd can do it but it’s massive pain and it no longer works for me).

If you install a game, either it works on Linux out of the box (it’s native) or it works under proton, in which case steam will take care of that for you in most cases and at worst you have to change a single setting. Visit protondb to learn what games work and don’t work on Linux.

Smarttube next is the bleeding edge beta version, it gets fixed much faster and supposedly has more bugs though I’ve never ran into one

Android: revanced manager

Pc: firefox+ublock+dearrow+sponsorblock

AndroidTv: smartTubeNext

I haven’t seen an ad in years

Yeah that’s about right

It’s not incredible. The crew 2 is overall a very okay game that didn’t need to exist, they could have easily remastered the crew 1 and make a better game. The coop is basically you get to play through any race including most story related ones with members of your party and if someone from your party wins you all get the progression. This means nothing as progressing is generally quite easy since the bots usually have way worse cars than you because getting parts upgrades is easy. Also the story isn’t anything to write home about, it’s the now classic “influencer drives car good”, unlike the crew 1 which at least tried.

I’ve finished all missions.

Honestly? It’s fine. The game is worse than the crew 1 (the map is considerably smaller despite both depicting the US, and the upgrade system feels worthless), but I’ve never felt the need to pay to get anything, and beyond 1 pop up on login, I’ve never even looked or been made to look at the store. If you’re after top performance in online races then probably most people in the top of the rankings paid to be there, but imo the crew 2 is simply not a good multiplayer competition game. For solo or coop, you’ll outclass the bots most of the time, the challenge is against yourself.

It’s a gigabyte ab350m gaming-3 rev 1.0. it boots grub fine but then crashes right after displaying “loading Linux 6.x”, CPU led flashes then dram led stays on, I have to turn it off with the PSU switch.

Either it’s a rev 1.0 bug which is a thing on those motherboards, or the CPU (or igpu) is defective.

I’m currently waiting on support from both the seller and gigabyte but I don’t expect anything out of it, though I’m still yet to test it in a different motherboard.
