It looks like it’s hosted in Germany.

Thank you for this. I also enjoy not having captchas because I use Tor/VPN.

We all make mistakes, thank you for being transparent. 💖

I can recommend Hetzner’s storage boxes: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box?country=us 1TB for backups costs less than $4 a month.

It’s not the fastest transfer because it’s hosted in Germany or Finland.

Note: It is in EUR will be converted from USD.

I use names of mice from popular movies and TV shows. I use this list.

I know it’s not useful, but it’s fun to me. I would never use it in a professional environment.

Thank you. The issue with Arch Linux was more about the performance and some games at the time just not working, which looking at ProtonDB shows they work fine now. I really enjoyed my time with Arch, all the customization and manually installing applications made it feel more personal and really “mine”. I will probably give a few distros a try before really settling in.

Thank you for this, really helpful advice, ProtonDB looks really useful. I tend to be a bit more patient with games and buy later when on sale. I might just wipe Windows and reinstall it with the bare necessities for only the games that I need it for.

That makes sense, thanks for the advice. I don’t play any competitive games, so anti-cheat is a bit less of a problem.

Thanks, this makes me feel much better about it.

I like your idea of making a list. If all goes well I might just move over, and keep Windows on a small disk for any outliers.
