    It became what it is currently the Steam Deck OS or at least the lessons learned were applied to create it. That being said you have distros like Bazzite and Pop OS focused on gaming, you could try those.

    I recently deleted my Windows partition and went full Linux for my personal devices. I use Windows for work and it reminds me that I made the right decision.

    I use Arch btw

      Now that TunnelVision has been disclosed to the general public, I’m just trying to finish up my modded games, then I’m going to switch over to Linux and run Windows in a VM as needed.

      Even with my pro license, I’m still at the whims of capitalist decision-making; tired of not really being in control of my own computer.

        That vulnerability affected every OS except Android.

          Yes, but you can relegate your network interface to a namespace in Linux, which is a remedy the researchers recommend. You have to use your internet-facing programs in a VM in Windows to achieve the same effect, and that’s a lot of overhead just to protect yourself.

          Edit: typo

            Eh, there’s 20 different ways to detect DHCP Option 121 fuckery and once you know it’s happening its fairly trivial to stop. Any VPN client worth its salt will be updated in 60 days or less to fix this and existing VPN clients can be hardened against TunnelVision with some fairly simple scripting.

            It’s a serious vulnerability but it’s hardly the unfixable world ender that the media has made it out to be.

              Good to know. Got any specific sources for the scripting, or should I just search for something like “option 121 mitigation?”
