I noticed this as well a few months ago and it did change the monitor brightness for real, but now it broke on my system and wont do it anymore

Genshin does work in linux since a few months ago from what i heard

Theres also NewPipe its free and open source

Keep it simple, Ubuntu/Mint/PopOS, play around with it for at least a few months before trying an arch install

I feel you, ever since i came to lemmy its been non stop reddit shit talking.

These are the reddit subs i found if you wanna block them !snoocalypse@lemmy.ml !reddit@lemmy.ml !reddit@lemmy.world !RedditMigration@kbin.social

Kbin isnt actually lemmy as far as i know, its a different project, but they can interact with each other thanks to the protocol of ActivityPub.
