Check out Shelter. Iuse Shelter myself but I have heard that Insular does the same thing. Shelter has an option of installing from APK directly into work profile. I tried installing different versions just now and it worked.

Edit: Hadn’t properly read your post. Changed my reply to better fit the question

I think mint has timeshift enabled by default. Try going back to when the games worked and figure out what change caused the gamss to break?

Yes the DMA. WhatsApp has the skeleton code for it in place I think

Oh okay. Thanks for the simple explanation :)

Can someone eli5 pls?

I use i3 which exists only for Xorg.

I’m using proton + Arch for over a year and I have no issues running any games (Ryzen 5 5600X, RTX 3060 Ti). Only issues I had were with anti cheat.

Okay. Also how beneficial would this be for my résumé if I’m trying to get into cyber security field?

I’m interested. Can you tell me more about it?

Elden Ring looks beautiful. You just need to get used to fighting a boss 100+ times before killing him ;_;

Horizon series is good. The 2nd game, Forbidden West is so good I used to open the photo mode at random spots and take pictures because I found the scenery beautiful. I would definitely recommend it.

Ghost of Tsushima is also beautiful. However I got bored pretty quickly but others have enjoyed the game so maybe you’ll like it.

Also Skyrim with mods (like ENB) can be beautiful as well :p

At this point I just assume Meta, Google and Apple have my number due to people storing the number on their devices. Amazon also might have it because people might have paid me via Amazon Pay (and given it access to contacts).

Yes. I don’t endorse WhatsApp. What I meant is if you chat with 15 people out of which 5 use WhatsApp, only those 5 chats are potentially readable by Meta. Because those are the only chats which will get sent to Meta servers.

So you have the benefit that the other 10 chats are not readable by Meta.

Lmao my bad. Thanks I’ll read up about it.

Google has also kept RCS proprietary. Google shares the blame as well imo

True. However there are certain advantages

• WhatsApp gets only a part of your data (coz many people might be on different apps)
• You don’t have to run WhatsApp on your device so they can’t collect that data either

I know it’s not perfect but better than the current scenario and a step in the right direction

Oh wow. TIL! Any recommendws sources? I want to read the full coverage

I only heard of it because I follow Matrix blog.

I saw the technical discussions (if you are a tech person I would recommend watching those on YT) and it seems that EU is trying to find some middle ground where companies won’t have to incur a lot of losses but still be open and create a fair environment for newcomers.

I hope that the DMA gets passed in the EU. It’ll (hopefully) break the monopoly worldwide

I think a large part of why Framework laptops worked and no mobile equivalent has come up is because most of phone ecosystem is not free. When I install Lineage OS on my phone I always expect a decrease in the quality of photos because lot of the camera stuff is proprietary and baked into the OEM ROM.

I get that the Framework equivalent of phones can manufacture their own devices and write FOSS firmware for it but it’s a big hurdle which not many can afford.

On the contrary in laptops/PCs you can install Linux and expect most of the hardware to work out of the box. So until phone ecosystem gets as free as PC ecosystem (I doubt it will considering how the corporations work) I doubt a Framework equivalent will be available for phones.

Quillpad is nice. I’ve been using it for about a year now. It satisfies all the 4 requirements as well.
