I mean what exactly are you looking to get out of using steam specifically? You can use lutris to play your games, and you can acquire games through means other than steam that would be P2P and have a bit more anonymity that way. Other than that, like the other person mentioned use vpn to create an anonymous account but other than anonymity i’m not sure what you can do for privacy on steam.

Not just the stock market but i’m pretty sure it’s a legal precedent that companies must prioritize shareholders over anyone else.

Well they are charging a premium for the service everywhere and more so in certain countries which can afford it but a big part is that in some countries people may only earn a few USD a day so they would not be able to afford it otherwise. I can’t speak on whether or not they are taking a loss in those countries, but i can’t imagine that they have a problem due to existing infrastructure from google all across the world.

goat, i appreciate the help!

I got steam running and was able to download some games however a decent part of my library doesn’t allow me to download the games and says it’s only compatible on windows. Am I out of luck with those games or am I missing a step. I downloaded some of those same games on my steam deck so I assume i’m missing something just not sure what it is.

I’m pretty new to linux and just got Pop os running on my gaming pc. When cosmic comes out do I just update or download Cosmic or is it a fresh install on my system?

Yeah I have the Boox Page as well and I love it. i have a 256 gb as with so much room for games. Also i installed f droid and downloaded some open source eink apps.
