I generally don't either, but I do install one when using a terminal that has multiplexing. The ssh multiplexing daemon is part of the kitty binary, so it needs to be installed to work. Not really different than installing Tmux on one.

Paragon is definitely the comparison one can makr to Deadlock, but Deadlock feels a lot better (imo) and puts more emphasis on the shooter aspect of the game, both in shooting and movement options.

Is this to help fix the codec issues Proton has, or is that unrelated?

Not defending the mobile game like currencies because they are obnoxious, but similarly to Marvel Rivals (both NetEase games), it is actually pretty generous with the free content. The shop skins are overpriced and obviously meant for whales, but you get a lot of free shit. I assume the battle pass will work like Rivals where it doesnt expire, has a lot of skins, and you get most of the currency back.

Its a hell of a lot better than Valorant, which is the most similar game gameplay wise.

Heroic handles them!

Honestly what's the point in having it? Heroic is already a better option. GOG Galaxy is a simple launcher, if they port it to Linux then it would also need to be a Wine/Proton prefix manager. Its not a massive amount of work, especially since umu-launcher exists now, but its just pointless effort IMO. Unless they're willing to invest the same amount of work into it that has gone into Heroic and Lutris, it'll just end up being the inferior option.

Kitty can do multiplexing over ssh as well. If you have kitty installed on the remote, you can use Kitty's builtin ssh wrapper and get a lot of useful features.

So you wont play any game which chooses to make their anticheat support Linux, on the premise that they might stop doing that?

This game has been working well since beta. Its also made by the NetEase, the same people as Marvel Rivals, which has made active efforts to work on Linux. They even included a fix specifically for Bazzite in the patch notes.

Exactly what it is. A gross example of company trying to get their name out their by sensationalizing their findings.

Its not a backdoor, you're most likely fine.

This isn't a backdoor. Just a company trying to make a name for themselves by sensationalizing a much smaller discovery.

That's very normal if you don't have any KDE apps. If you were using KDE and installed a GNOME app it'd be similar.
