    Agreed, I switched my gaming rig to Linux for 6 months and was so excited to get things working. Went back to windows on it because I kept going to play with friends, and would often have to mess with Proton versions (again) to get the game working.

    I really enjoy the Grounded games, so when Grounded 2’s early access was about to release I switched back to avoid dealing with those issues.

    Still rocking Linux on my non-gaming devices though, aside from SteamDeck.

    Final edit: based on mod logs it appears this OP is being disingenuous, but the below still stands. We appreciate anyone who reports in good faith, and welcome any messages if you feel like we got things wrong.

    Please report those, we will remove them. If we removed your comment for being rude and not theirs, then we did not read their rude comment calling the question stupid, and that’s our bad.

    Also, my DM’s are always open if you disagree with a removal, anyone who has spoken with me before will vouch that I’m fairly reasonable as long as things don’t break rules (such as gray areas).

    Edit: could you link the comment you’re talking about? The only thing I could find is this, which doesn’t appear to be what you’re talking about, but the response you gave to them was rude

    I’m guessing some people don’t know (or forgot) that site-to-site and remote access VPN’s are a thing, and was the initial purpose of VPN’s. Masking or hiding your location became a benefit after the fact, and todays more common client VPN is technically a remote access VPN with a new purpose.

    Remote access VPN’s are a very common attack vector for companies, look up companies compromised with Fortinet gear and its typically through the firewalls VPN.

    In fact, a primary purpose of a VPN, spoofing your IP/geolocation, pretending you are someone you aren’t… is pretty much antithetical to a highly controlled system of users with varying levels of access to specific, private areas of that system.

    Most modern remote access VPN’s do exactly that, so it is not antithetical at all and is how most client VPN’s keep you from accessing other users data. I would encourage you to read up on WireGuard and the like, they are fun to learn about and awesome tools when configured properly.

    Also, we removed the above comment because the last sentence was fairly rude and violates rule 3 @sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com
