Roblox also doesn't work on Linux IIRC. I don't play it but it was in the Linux gaming news cycle a while ago that they broke Wine compatibility, not sure if it was anticheat related or not.

Except for more and more multiplayer games unfortunately. If you only play single player games, Linux gaming is awesome. If you play with your friends, the shitty anticheat situation means you may need to keep Windows around. I have Windows 10 just for Fortnite because my friends play. GTA Online just killed Linux play by adding BattlEye. Just today, one of the biggest online games that did work on Linux including its anticheat dropped support (Apex Legends). We desperately need a way to fight back against this bullshit, because it's undoing all the incredible progress we've made. Valve needs to start banning games from their store for retroactively breaking Linux support.
On Linux I usually just keep them in my home directory because I'm lazy. On Windows though I usually do C:\git\ or D:\git\ if I have a second drive.
Why can't they put the power button on the front where it belongs. It's already stupid that they put it on the back, putting it on the bottom is downright idiotic. If they don't want to mess up the oh so important Apple aesthetic just make it an invisible touch button or something. Apple hates usability.
This Android Translation Layer looks amazing for Linux phones. Waydroid is already pretty awesome, but it's just running full fat Android on top of your Linux system and has all the limitations that brings (poor to no notification integration with the host system, poor integration of filesystem, extra resource usage for all of the Android services, issues with power management and suspend, inability to change resolution on the fly, poor integration with host onscreen keyboard, etc). I've used Waydroid on postmarketOS and it's nice to be able to have Android apps available, but it almost feels like still carrying around a second phone, just that second phone is virtual. Something like ATL sounds like it properly integrates Android apps into the host OS. I need to give this a try soon.
I should install Bazzite on my Ally and give it a try. I have Arch on it now, dual boot with the Windows 11 it came with. I want to keep Windows on it as I use it as a low powered Windows runner for GitLab projects, but Arch isn't as nice to use on it as I wanted and if I'm just going to be gaming on the Linux side, immutable is fine I guess. I recently tried playing Fortnite on my Ally and it ran well, I have a Steam Deck for things that already run on SteamOS and I much prefer it to the Ally so if I install Bazzite it would just be for comparing vs the Deck and to experiment.
