    Depending on what VPN software you use, they may already have a linux version. All of the big-name ones do, as well as a good chunk of the smaller ones.

    For anti-virus, you don’t need one in Linux. Even for Windows I would recommend using the built-in AV, rather than Norton.

    Edit: I see you use Norton VPN. That one doesn’t have a linux version. Check out Mullvlad or Nord VPN.

    Yep! In steam, Add Game > Add Non-Steam Game > Select the Game. Then in the game’s properties, go to the compatibility section and choose “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool”, which will then run the game under Proton.

    That said, I actually run a number of games under Wine. The Heroic Launcher covers GOG, Epic, and Prime games, and will install them with Wine enabled for them by default.


  • You can purchase electricity at a variable cost. Low demand times have low prices; inverse for both as well. One can automatically disable a charger during high demand times and enable it during low demand times to save money. For a level 2 charger that is used often, it isn’t a bad plan.

    However, if there is really high electric demand when you want to charge your car, and you don’t know the above setup is happening, it can be confusing when your car stops charging.
