Yes…most of these news recently is then followed up by:we are on bluesky now… Well it’s fair enough but they should at least also join mastodon … I don’t know. It’s frustrating.

Can you give more detail? I was a lifetime windows user and recently switched. I’m running Linux mint and steam and every game I tried on it was working as expected (admittedly my samplesize is not that big but from what I remember hades 2, slay the spire, horizon zero dawn, doom, civ5, rimworld, pal world were tried. No difference to windows. Maybe not the newest aaa games…)

Also if you search “@threads.net” in your mastodon client and you find users from that server, then your server should be connected

In more general terms, you can look up the item at e.g. Idealo.de or other product comparison sites and then decide where to buy. Amazon is most often not the cheapest, even including additional delivery cost
