If Kodi is used to watch movies and TV shows for free then you’d want to protect your internet traffic from unwanted eyes

Absolutely this. Depending on how you use it though, make sure you have a VPN and private DNS setup on your router

I never had much luck with Lutris either. Try Heroic games launcher. It’s fantastic with Linux and GoG

I hope it will release on GoG at some point

I listen to quite a few different podcasts via AntennaPod and have never listened to an ad that wasn’t from the podcast itself. Maybe it’s due to my DNS settings or luck of the draw?

I recently got a Dell Latitude 14 2-in-1 with the AMD 8840U, Put on the latest Fedora Kinoite and the fingerprint reader works FYI.

Great story. I have found that pretty much everyone I have shown Linux is pleasantly surprised with how nice it is. I think people have an idea of it being a hacker person OS with code running on the screen.

Frigate can definitely run on a Pi. It can also integrate with Home Assistant which can run on a Pi. As for turning itself off when you’re home, I don’t know.

You can get generally up to PS3 games working on PC and you’d be owning those games too. Value for money is good and all but owning vs leasing is clear cut and I’ll take owning my stuff everytime, as that is valuable to me.

Then we return to the topic of not owning your games with Steam. Try installing non Steam games via the Heroic launcher and use Bazzite OS instead
