I’m just here mainly to keep up with the news around Linux.
They’re going closed source and windows only when there’s already an official client from Apple coming to Windows? That’s strange, and unfortunate.
I’m pretty sure it’s wayland because on KDE wayland, with 200% scaling, when the cursor is over an xwayland window, it looks blurry. This doesn’t happen on wayland windows. Also for some reason electron and chromium based apps run at 60 fps on wayland, while xwayland apps run at 144 fps as it should, and my VS Code in the Distrobox with the wayland flags also runs at 60 fps. Weird KDE stuff.
Here’s some info on it: https://userbase.kde.org/KWin_Rules
From the overview:
KWin allows the end-user to define rules to alter an application’s window attributes.
For example, when an application is started, it can be forced to always run on Virtual Desktop 2. Or a defect in an application can be worked-around to force the window above others.

A few years ago I got 5 of my millennial friends to move from FB Messenger to Telegram and it took some peer pressure from me and essentially one hangout where we were all together, and moved in one go. Telegram is not perfect but overall it’s much better than being on FB messenger.
I had the unlimited plan for a few months but downgraded only to the mail plan, that way I can try different providers for VPN, Drive, and password manager.
For password manager I’ve had Bitwarden for years now and it works great for me. VPN currently with AirVPN because of easy port forwarding, and drive with Nextcloud self hosted because I can, and also works fine for me.
I think it’s worth noting that Tumbleweed also has the Mesa/codecs situation, where if you want the codecs you have to enable the Packman repo and install mesa from there, and when there’s an update for mesa you have to wait for the update on Packman repo, otherwise you get some conflicts when trying to update. Though packman usually updates quick enough so it’s usually not an issue but it can be a bit weird the first time you see it.
Aside from that yeah, Tumbleweed is great. Though i’m currently running Fedora Kinoite and overall I’ve been happy with it, but I would probably go back to Tumbleweed if something were to happen.
One option is what I currently use, a docker image of Qbittorrent with support for OpenVPN: https://hub.docker.com/r/markusmcnugen/qbittorrentvpn
If you can get OpenVPN config files from CyberGhost then it should be straightforward to set up.
On KDE there’s System Monitor, which you can customize to show graphs for CPU usage and temp, among other things, and GPU usage and temp too.
For in-game monitoring there’s Mangohud, also very customizable on what you can show in the overlay
