Are they terrible or am I using it wrong?

I recently saw the game called "Bongo Cat" on Steam which monitors yours keystrokes and accordingly plays the bongo drums. I saw that it was not working properly on Wayland because it does not allow the game to record keystrokes from other apps.

This got me thinking; how does ~~Steam~~ Valve protect us from malware? I was searching for "steam games malware" on DDG and found out that there were a few incidents regarding this. I understand that Steam probably has a robust mechanism for understanding game behavior but it's kind of a black-box for us.

Is there any independent vulnerability checker for games? How paranoid should one be before downloading games from steam?

PS: I know that as Linux users, most attack vectors don't work for us but it's good to be aware just in case.

Edit: I need to clarify. I know Steam is just a game-launcher, it's not supposed to protect the user after the game is installed. I meant to say how does Valve protect the user from malicious games? Is their mechanism known?

Starting about a month ago, I started getting lots of crackling audio in games. Not sure what the issue is. It tends to be with loud noises, almost sounds like clipping.

Anyone else had this?

Edit: Fixed by installing realtime-privileges (arch) and adding my user to the realtime group

I've been configuring my own selfhosted Kubernetes cluster with various raspberry pis, and for applications that require persistence, I rely on NFS as a provider for Persistent Volumes.

Now I want to deal with backups of my data, mainly the multmedia library I'm building with Jellyfin.

I'm thinking about just doing something outside kubernetes that just copies the data from the directory that NFS provides to another storage.

If you've done something similar, what's your approach? There are solutions that can be done inside kubernetes?
