What do you mean “unrelated to NVIDIA drivers”? It’s literally the first sentence of OP’s post (emphasis mine):
Look long story short, what i expected to be a short install ended up being a 5 hour manhunt for an issue that resulted in needing a closed source instead of open source nvidia driver.
I only hope that people who still think that Nvidia drivers on Linux are an old issue that’s been solved ages ago, see this post and this comment. It got slightly better, but the problem never went away. Yet, anyway.
Well, yes? According to Merriam-Webster:
1: exclusive ownership through legal privilege, command of supply, or concerted action
2: exclusive possession or control <no country has a monopoly on morality or truth—Helen M. Lynd>
3: a commodity controlled by one party <had a monopoly on flint from their quarries—Barbara A. Leitch>
4: one that has a monopoly < The government passed laws intended to break up monopolies.:>
I’m not arguing that Steam doesn’t have overwhelming market power, it most certainly does. But key words here are “exclusive” and “one party” and Steam does not control the PC market exclusively, nor are they the only party on the market.
72% of devs have no clue what the word monopoly means. That would mean that Steam is the only store selling PC games on the market, but that’s not the case. Hell, the article itself mentions several:
However, it also noted that developers have started utilising other platforms including the Epic Game Store and the Xbox PC Games store.
Almost half of those surveyed (48%) have distributed a title to both stores, while 10% have used GOG and 8% have used Itch.io.
So, a monopoly? Most definitely not. A market leader or holder of a vast majority? Yes.
As someone who chiefly plays single player games: yup, that tracks. I’ve played Cyberpunk 2077, Nioh, Yakuza Kiwami 1 & 2, the list goes on. All on Linux, no issues. In fact, over the past two years the only game that absolutely refused to run is an obscure title called DeathSprint 66.
Unfortunately, they only seem to have stuff that’s already available on other sites I mentioned and not much in the way of scene releases. Thanks anyway, though.
Thanks for explaining. This just might be what I’m looking for. I’ll browse around a bit and decide on one later.
Will do, thanks! Except the subreddit, I very much don’t dare.
What are debrid services?
Or are you just observing and enjoy your peace of mind because you switched already to Linux before?
Yes, that. As far as my circle of friends and acquaintances who are running Win10 are concerned, I’ve made the effort to advise them to switch to something newer for security reasons. They will probably switch to Windows 11, but that is their concern.
Nothing wrong with promising. It’s the delivering part he has problems with. Heck, he couldn’t even deliver his own kids.
That sucks, but then again it’s par for the course for Amazon. Thanks for explaining.
Did Amazon change their book format?

Some ornithologists seeing this comment will be very disappointed.
Sorry, replying late. Yes, I do play games on my HTPC, though lately I’ve mostly been using to watch things through Kodi. Kodi does indeed work well with a keyboard, so good luck on your project!
I have it on my HTPC and Steam Deck. It’s good! Simple to use, simple to set up, no complaints.
I’ll assume you’re new to Debian, so apologies if this is not true. The reason I say this is because generally speaking, “installing with wget” isn’t how one is supposed to install software in Debian, using a program called apt is. yt-dlp is available in Debian 13’s repositories. What I suggest doing is running apt install yt-dlp as root. That way the app will be installed globally, meaning it’ll work without the system spitting out the error you’ve described. And on another positive note, the app will get updated automatically whenever you upgrade the system.
If this isn’t for you, suggestions from other users here are valid and helpful.
Nope. Not reading a Techrights article.
