I’m a firm believer that inching towards a more private life and future is a good thing in and of itself. However, I also believe that striving for a healthy social life and finding individual happiness is very important.

One area that I’m a bit lost on how to achieve better privacy is gaming. I also believe this is an area that is often overlooked. Do you all have any tips, tricks, or guides on how to game while retaining some level of privacy?

Specifically I’m referring to privacy from corporations, governments, and to a lesser extent friends. I’m also thinking about all types of games, from MMOs, to competitive FPSs, to RTS Games, to RPGs.

With Linux gaming becoming increasingly viable in conjunction with the mainstream success of the Steamdeck, I would imagine one idea for most people is kicking windows to the curb.

    GOG doesn’t hate Linux. They just don’t support it with their Galaxy launcher. Games can be downloaded directly from their website, including the Linux versions if they are available. And there are great third-party launchers like Heroic if you want a launcher. It would be great if GOG would officially support Linux like Valve does with Steam and Proton, but GOG is still one of the best major game stores for Linux.
