I thought you were referring to Lemmy as a whole. I haven't visited the linked site, but judging by the post it's probably AI.

Not the entire site, but definitely some accounts and communities.

iirc NPxSP was getting messy internally, the author went and rewrote a lot of things

On the Steam Deck, while using SteamOS (or other Linux distros), EAC (and a few others like Battleye) run in userspace, not as kernel level.

The intention of Anti-Cheat and DRM is to hide what they're doing, in an attempt to prevent people from cheating or pirating. Malware often uses similar techniques to hide what it's doing.

Kernel level Anti-Cheat runs with the highest level of permission on your system, meaning it has access to everything happening on your PC, and all your hardware.

That means kernel level Anti-Cheat can do whatever it wants on your computer, and it's intentionally hard to figure out what it's doing. Even though it's probably not harmful, it shares a lot of similarities with actual malware, and we can't be fully sure whether it is harmful or not. This is why a lot of people are against kernel level Anti-Cheat.

EAC, afaik, has acted as just an anti cheat, and is therefore likely not harmful to your system. However, like other Anti-Cheats, it is harmful with the standards being set.

That's, very odd. Just watched the bit about TP2 in the video, and I'm getting nowhere near that on my Steam Deck (non-oled).

Setting everything to low, and FSR performance, it looks awful. There's very obvious upscaling artifacting, especially during motion. Performance is playable at about 30-40 fps, except in the "starting hub" of the game, where performance can dip to 10fps at times (although no real gameplay occurs there).

With everything being set so low, LODs are clearly visible, even on the small screen. Gaps in signs, thin walls, and stairs are visible from ~5 in game meters away.

On the settings they show in the video, with a fresh save, I get similar numbers in the first couple minutes of the game, but FPS tanks after that. On a save further into the game, I'm getting maybe 20fps (50 when staring at the floor).

The game is still very playable on the lowest settings, and if you're into puzzle games like The Talos Principle, it's still a good experience. I'm not normally one to stream my games from my PC, but The Talos Principle 2 is just a better experience with more powerful hardware.

per-site process isolation, as mentioned here: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers#processIsolation

My experience with several firefox-based browsers on Android was not usable, with constant freezes, crashes, and performance issues.

There are some security considerations to using a Firefox-based browser on Android. In my experience, performance and stability has not been as good on Firefox Android as Chromium Android.

You’ve read your last complimentary article this month.

I haven't even read a wire article this year.

Please, don't recommend Ubuntu. It actively gets in your way, even as a new user. Something like https://distrochooser.de/ could help OP figure out what distro works best for them.

Unless a proper secure boot + FDE setup is in place.

Since the EFI partition is unencrypted, physical access would do the trick here too, even with every firmware/software security measure.
