I run Steam in flatpak, so my games are sandboxed and do not have access to my home directory. I don’t have to trust anyone.

Which means my .config directory, which is under backup, is gonna be spammed with temporary and cache files. Though not XDG-compliant, at least ~/.mozilla was in place for decades and it’s already being excluded in my backup set on my machines.

Either they adopt XDG fully, putting cache files where they belong, or don’t just change things haphazardly for little benefit.

5. If you don't care about the Bible, I strongly recommend the Tao Te Ching. Probably the most succinct, KISS philosophy and spirituality book ever written in the history of mankind.

Not sure what you mean, in every thread there's someone that mentions anticheat as if to stress why Proton is never gonna be good enough.

You can be a true gamer™ even if you don't play the latest $90 AAA multiplayer FPS. To me not having a proprietary rootkit is a feature, and Windows is always there for those that are OK with being spied upon.

Same with Godot. I'm writing a desktop app, and I get cross-platform support out-of-the-box. I don't even have to recompile or write platform-specific code, and doesn't even need Win32 APIs.
