I can only speak for myself here, but you could give Limo a try. It’s Linux-native (so you don’t have to run it through Wine, unlike Vortex & Mod Organizer 2), the UI works well enough for my needs, and it has Nexus Mods support (you just give it an API key in the settings, so it can download mods for you). You’ll want to read the documentation for it though, to understand what “Data” and “Bin” mean when installing mods, deployment methods, LOOT integration, etc.
Agreed, and one particular example I can think of is Terraria’s Steam Workshop tools. If I try and publish a texture pack using the Linux-native version of the game, it crashes, but when I use the Windows version of the game via Proton, it works just fine. Not sure if the developers have gotten around to fixing this yet.
Edit: Now that I think of it, it’s a similar story with Half-Life 2 now that they added Steam Workshop support for its 20th anniversary. Crashes on native, works fine under Proton.
Yep, been self-hosting it locally for a while now. To put simply, I archive anything that is within my personal realm of interest that I believe has a chance to be deleted, and is important to keep a copy of. It could be troubleshooting tips for specific tech issues, things that may be under threat of takedown, or maybe just an article I like and want a local copy of. It’s a wonderful tool.
Sorry for the late response, but yes, I believe you can. There is an option in the config called allow_public_upload which can be changed to true or false.
Yes, I torrent on the same machine where all my personal stuff is. The biggest reason for this is that I don’t have a dedicated machine to torrent 24/7, though I’d definitely like to set that up at some point. I like being able to seed niche torrents to those who need them, and a machine seeding 24/7 would definitely help with that. Also having easy simple access to the downloaded files is always a plus, but there’s a myriad of ways to do this over a local network (pretty sure some torrenting clients even have an option to torrent over LAN).
My torrent client is bound to my VPN’s network interface, and my VPN has a killswitch as well, so I’m not paranoid that things will suddenly leak. Been running this setup for months now without issues.
This is excellent news. This is one of the biggest features that I’ve wanted out of Firefox for years, and one of the reasons I’ve kept Chromium as a secondary browser all this time.
I do remember seeing a community-made GitHub project that added a profile switcher to Firefox, which looked pretty good, but it also required installing an executable somewhere on the system, which I’m not exactly keen on.
I think Zen Browser has a built-in profile switcher, but it also changes a bunch of core UI elements… I just want Firefox with a profile switcher, lol.
