In what way?

So you’re suggesting more “network” control. I like it.

AFWall+

I use NetGuard, but I don’t see any benefits from having root in it.

PcapDroid

Hmm, interesting, I think the closest thing that I use now is TrackerControl.

AdAway

I’m using my VPN “socket” with TrackerControl.

define your own custom firewall rules is very powerful

Yeah, and also easy to mess up connections so they no longer work properly. 😆

I redirect all DNS requests to my own DNS with a custom rule (for apps, like Termux, using hardcoded DNS lookups instead of what the phone is set to)

That seems cool. For now, I’m using Mullvad’s public DNS service. See their dns-blocklists.

I also know App Manager, and I’m using it and with root it with ease blocks any necessary trackers and other things. Have you tried it?

From the security standpoint, I think rooting is always against the security. That’s why DivestOS and GrapheneOS are against it, and it shouldn’t be tried. However, I was interested in Shizuku that also is some another hole to patch up when exploited.

KernelSU is unsafe

Is any root safe though?

lsposed manager

I don’t know what that is.

it hides root much better

To me, that’s the funniest thing. I come from Linux and I want to have - let’s say administrator (root) of my Android, which is also Linux as far I know. I know the Android is praised for its security, but come on, I wish to have control over my system as a working System Admin. That’s the main purpose of my set-up. How come, any app can just check whether I have root or not? That’s some bullshit.

1. Custom ROM - LineageOS
2. microG so I don’t use proprietary Google Play Services
3. and root so I can have full control over my smartphone

Google Play and their services are so tightly integrated with Android, no wonder GrapheneOS did their sandbox… However, I thought of doing the same with microG.

Let’s see how apps will adapt it.

Yeah, but the default keyboard controls suck. And I think there is somewhere in the game “every time you fall and die - it’s a progress” or something like this.

Rimworld!

I see many of you in the comments section. I will probably try it at some point. :)

Doom

Which one because I don’t think this Doom you meant?

OpenRCT2

I tried it to work on Linux but no luck so far. :c

and Unreal Tournament

I see 2nd mention of this game. Could you link it with the Linux native port?

So it’s a biiiig rabbit hole, then.

Well, Factorio price policy says that they will never have a discount for their game. Full price only so you’re committed.

it’s super okay at about 20/25€ once a year, maybe twice, bur if you’re late to the party it’s a whole lot of cash all at once!

Yeah, exactly.

exactly why paradox introduced a subscription for Stellaris’ DLCs at 10€/month

I didn’t even know there was such a thing. Sucks, though.

From the Depths

Oh, there is a Linux port. I have never heard of this game, but it seems like some Lego game that you build voxel vehicles. How many hours do you have on Linux with this game?

Over 1000 unique components allow you to build and command voxel vehicles from the deep ocean to outer space!

No Besiege fans in here>

You are! I have this game on my wishlist due to reviews and native Linux port.

This game always amazes me with “fuck, no I cannot do that”, but after trial and error I get better, and I know I overcome my skill issues.

Ark survival evolved

Sure, but I don’t see any native Linux port. Only Windows and macOS.

Life is Strange 1

I completed it on Windows before I knew what Linux was. I didn’t know there was a native Linux port, thanks!

UT2004

Unreal Tournament 2004? Since when has it native Linux port?

It’s made by 2 brothers who said that is their life’s work.

That’s a great curse to have.

True, when Proton enabled it’s hard to tell, but you can filter it.
