Not at all, I have been running Linux for years now without any issues. Lutris and Heroic Launcher covers all my pirated gaming needs.

I’m not sure about digital storage such as cloud serviced. But for example you decide to but a new HDD/SSD you pay an extra 1.25 SEK/GiB up to a maximum of 100 SEK, or a new mobile phone that’s another 4.38 SEK/GiB with no upper limit.

The reasoning behind that tax is that in Sweden you are allowed to make personal copies of media you own and apparently the movie/music industry loses to much money due to that law. So that money will go to the movie or music labels as compensation for lost revenue.

Swede here. I would say that piracy had it’s peak before the raid in 2006 and further harmed by copyswede and thier lobbying for an extra tax on anything that has some form of storage media, can’t remember what year that tax came into effect. I might be wrong but that’s my experience.

The only problem I have encountered using installers/repacks with Lutris is that they sometimes can’t create the installation folder. Creating it manually in the .wine folder is the only workaround I have found.

I have found Modded Warfares videos quite helpful for jailbreaking.

I have never had a problem with adAway, worth it to mention is that I have never tried any other adblocking services on my andriod.

Edit: some news app that I use serve their ads threw the same domain as their news so that is, at least for me, hard to block.

I have no idea if adGuard is trustworthy or not, I personally use adAway which is open source and under a GPLv3 license. Perfectly satisfied with it.

Lutris and proton-ge works really well for all tour gaming needs.

Ah, gotcha.

Didn’t know this, thanks for the links.

Didn’t DDG get caught allowing some Microsoft tracking and blocking some search results a couple of years back? Personally I use Firefox and starpage as a search engine.

The superior bean!

I second proton mail. Totally satisfied and really like their calender.
