Nvidia's infrastructure is somehow whitelisted. They support pretty much every game with invasive kernel level anti cheat, at least those from Microsoft / Xbox Game Studios (notably Activision Blizzard's Call of Duty series), and Electronic Arts (Battlefield, FIFA and the like).
No, they should move DigiD out of that data center.
Pretty much all critical Dutch gov services are located in sovereign data centres across the Netherlands. Why they can't do it with DigiD baffles me. Especially because it is (or at least used to be) based on a plain Java and Oracle stack.
I've seen a lot of people switch from Windows to Bazzite and they are super happy with it.
The only thing you'll have to decide is if you want a desktop which looks more similar to MacOS (GNOME) or Windows (KDE). For now they don't even care about even more advantages or disadvantages, like the fact that KDE is customizable to the point things can get a little crazy.
Graphical desktop and Steam support (with a little pinch of Lutris added on top), and that's good enough.
> Kernel antic heat is frustrating but usually its games where I feel like I won't lose anything if I don't play it.
And for those you still have options, through streaming:
1> A small headless Windows PC powered with a videocard like a Radeon 9070 XT and a nifty app called Moonlight (https://moonlight-stream.org/) enables you to stream games protected with kernel level anti cheat to Linux machines (and some other devices).
2> Geforce Now supports some games notoriously renowned for their kernel level anti cheat like Battlefield 6 and Call of Duty Black Ops 7. With some trickery it is possible to run the app they "exclusively" developed for handhelds like the Deck on any Linux distro, because it is just a desktop app distributed through Flatpak.
They do not really care until the United States takes Greenland. Or NATO outright attacks Russia. Then they do care.
Because controlling Greenland means whoever has it gets excessive control over the Arctic Sea. And both parties, but especially Russia, do not want a party like the United States to have this amount of control given the Arctic is in their backyard.
I'm not talking about military strength, I am talking about shipping lanes.
Something you can already see in Venezuela as we speak: The Trump Administration has essentially blocked countries like Russia and Iran to ship oil from Venezuela.
If they capture Greenland and can build a big Naval presence there they are in a great position to confiscate every cargo ship destined to Russian harbors in the north, and close off China's trading route in the Arctic aswell.
While people mock the EU for being entirely toothless, France is the only country in the EU with nuclear deterrence, with 240 warheads coupled to 48 MIRV capable missiles aboard four Triomphant class submarines (built in France), and 50 carried by Dassault Rafale fighters (built in France), with 10 of these 50 being aboard France's aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle (also built in France). - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_and_weapons_of_mass_des...
> I think Raspberry lost the magic of the older Pis, they lost that sense of purpose. They basically created a niche with the first Pis, now they're just jumping into segments that others created and are already filled to the brim with perhaps even more qualified competition.
I don't think you will find anything on the market enabling you to create your own audiophile quality AMP, DAC, or AMP+DAC for a pretty attractive price except a Pi 3/4/5 with a HifiBerry (https://www.hifiberry.com/) HAT.
