  I have not used it myself but you should be able to run typical linux desktop software with steamos. That being said, I don’t think there’s gog galaxy for linux. You can use HeroicLauncher for GOG (and epic and prime gaming) instead.

  I think this post provides a pretty good high level introduction: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/guides/view/how-to-install-extra-software-apps-and-games-on-steamos-and-steam-deck/

  Alternatively, you could try a gaming focused Linux distribution like bazzite (based on fedora/ublue) which comes with a lot of gaming related stuff preinstalled or easy to install. The base system is mostly read only though and if you need the latest version of some software that’s not on flathub, it can be a little limiting.

  cachyos (based on arch) is a good alternative if you would like to be able to get your hands dirty tweaking your system or want more freedom wrt installing software.

  In any case, you should check https://www.protondb.com/ if your games are supported.

  Some games with certain anti cheat software can not be run (e.g. anything using vanguard, riot’s anti cheat).

  Do note that if you’re in the EU (or can convince Windows/Microsoft that you are, I assume) you should get Windows 10 patches for another year without doing anything.

  You can use man cut to read a program’s manual page. Appending –help (without any other arguments will often produce at least a short description of the program and list the available options.

  I’m also using Caddy with desec and get the same result when adding a new subdomain. It fixes itself after a while though (10+ minutes). Maybe try waiting a little longer.

  I’m also using caddy with desec.io. When first triggering the challenge for an entry, it CSV fail a couple of times. I think it just takes a while for the DNS entry to be available.

  Another thing that I’ve experienced is that I can’t use wildcard subdomain entries. My guess is that it’s somehow because I only have public IPv6 addresses (but I don’t remember the details). I have configured an internal DNS with the wildcard entey since I’m only ever connecting to that host via wireguard from outside my network. For the host itself I’ve created a regular AAAA record.
