From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there anything wrong with the sneaky way that shall not be named?
Naw, but my spouse is a hardcore player with a ton of time into it and I am only a casual player.
I don't wanna risk an IP ban on our connection and have her have to start using a VPN or worse, have her account banned because it's associated with my account using the secret way to play.
If I do it through proton which is officially supported, that risk goes away.
I actually had issues with proton. I would recommend through Lutris, and then use their wine-proton version. That's how I play the game unmodified and officially.
Roger that.
Yeah because it patched the game to bypass the anti cheat, which is definitely in violation of ToS. Otherwise you'd be able to name it without fear lol. The anti cheat works now so no need to run it anymore for any risk. You can just play the unmodified game officially without any risk.
Oh okay, I see, thanks for explaining.
