This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/linux4noobs

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • proton-ge-custom

    Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components

  • Go with the most recent / experimental most of the time, you can set this globally in the settings menu (I use experimental, personally.) If the reports on ProtonDB say to use a specific version, and the game isn't working for you, then try that version. You might also want to check out proton-ge which can help with certain games.

  • goverlay

    GOverlay is an opensource project that aims to create a Graphical UI to help manage Linux overlays. (by benjamimgois)

  • Look into GOverlay.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • ntfs-3g

    NTFS-3G Safe Read/Write NTFS Driver

  • You need ntfs-3g to read/write a NTFS drive. It shouldn't corrupt your data no matter what but may create some Linux-only files which may prevent the Windows machine from booting up. Idk how Windows 7 handle this. Windows 10 should ignore them though.

  • Solaar

    Linux device manager for Logitech devices

  • Not sure, check this.
