    What if I had a firewall installed in Linux

    A previous company of mine, required an “AntiVirus” installed on the Linux computers too.
    The one the IT guy installed, ran in the background all the time, doing nobody-knows-what and and slowing down every thing and having multiple segfaults in a minute, shown in the journal.

    Long after I left, I also saw an RCE vulnerability related to it. So essentially, my system would have been more secure without the app.

    If it’s C or C++, I get the source from the project’s GitHub / GitLab / Source Hosting thing and compile it for myself.
    For programming languages that I don’t read, I usually use the AUR.

    Also,

    • GoG for games
    • Xilinx website, for that one time, I got the ISE
    • AppImage sometimes

  • I’m a keyboard guy.
    Also, I intend on using the same nKRO keyboard for Elite Dangerous, X4, Nanotale and other games.
    It’s not very frequently, that I notice a ghosting problem, but over time, it has become bad enough for me to want one.

    I actually bought one, recently. ANT Esports, Mechanical, 24 KRO with anti-ghosting. Took about an hour to realise, it was false advertising.
    Even normal key combinations, which worked on a cheap Dell 100, didn’t work on this.
    So, waiting to get a good one.
