I'm really happy to hear that, I still have and occasionally use my steam controller, I quite liked it.

Completed stray with it and a steamlink.

Redhat were very successful with the open source, but paid support model, so it could happen.

Inertia would be hard to overcome, anyone using sales force right now is probably not gonna want to risk a newcomer.

Still a bit open ended. Web browser finger printing is probably going to be quite specific, unless you have a browser that avoids fingerprinting.

There is a trust issue, you need to trust the userland packagers to not build in any additional tracking, but its pretty unlikely that they'll do that given its a tiny project.

Privacy is also multifaceted, and its never going to be as simple as "use this distro". The techniques for online tracking are changing and evolving all the time.

This is a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question, security is multifaceted.

From what I understand, it uses your phones kernel, so if its out of date or vulnerable, that might be a problem, and you may not be able to fix that.

Conversely, its running inside android, so the android hardening might make it more secure.

What are you specifically concerned about? Firewall? Zero days? Antimalware?

Initial version will be free, and DRM free, distributed by us and completely open. This will be so we can get feedback from modders and establish some confidence. When the project becomes more structured we will look at future options.

Consider me excited!

The studio shutdown definitely did get announced, but no formal cancellation AFAIK. Selling a cancelled game is just wrong

Too soon, I'm still sad.

I suspect KSP2 has probably killed all the goodwill earnt by KSP, I certainly won't buy anything else until I know its a finished game.

/etc/passwd: you may be able to get to this from the GUI file manager.

If not, open a terminal and type: cat /etc/passwd. Copy the relevant lines.

To test the login, from a terminal, type su otheruser, replace otheruser with the username from /etc/passwd. It should ask for a password, put that in and it should log you in. Type whoami and make sure its the same username as you expected. Paste any errors here.

I want a modern Flatout 2, such a fun game.

I think that was meant to be a reply to me, so I'll respond.

Technically, /etc/passwd can have encrypted passwords in it, but as far as I'm aware, no distro has done that in decades, so realistically its not that risky. It does expose the user names though.

Can you share the lines from /etc/passwd for your user and the user your adding? Despite its name, there are no passwords here, that is in /etc/shadow

Edit: can you su to login as the user?
