I also never figured out lutris. I gave up one day with rage and discovered bottles. Never looked back after that.

It’s always a logic bug that you will find the day after you forgot about how the code works.

But even if I developed a plug in, for the plug in to work, I would have to bundle a torrent engine and anything that allows movies/series to be downloaded might get flagged I guess

Codeberg wouldn’t mind according to that principle right? I cant fathom how a plug in would work when essentially adding yts would mean bundling a Downloader with a torrent engine and any system that allows downloading movies/series via torrent would get dmca.

For professional work cases, Linux is a very good choice. You don’t need to pay for the corporate windows licences and security is overall better than windows since security by obscurity is a no no which windows intends.

Try going with a solid distro. Use mint or fedora. I would recommend you use the KDE desktop environment as it is very sleek and matches the windows look.

As for your video codec issue, if you are using distros which “respect” American patent laws, use the world wide versions. For example in Fedora, you must install the free world versions.

And the most important tip for you switching to Linux, ask questions and read up if you get stuck on something, however trivial you might think the issue is. The community is very open and very supportive.

Good luck all your endeavours :)

Obviously I listen to music. Without listening to the DOOMSLAYER track, how do i do what I am about to do?
