FYI: Flatpaks can share some dependencies and duplicate files.

As the other user said, they removed support for port forwarding. They are my #1 pick for anyone where that is not a concern.

I have no experience with Windscribe other than that I recall looking into them when I was personally looking to replace Mullvad.

All I can offer is that their pricing is pretty much on par with ProtonVPN, who I have found to be very solid.

Proton also has a free tier, though I'm not sure how well P2P works on it.

As someone just finishing up a first playthrough of The Outer Worlds, I might have to watch for a Starfield sale.

Yes, but by editing config files 😐

Hopefully the team has smartened up a bit since these days

Uh... What?

GPU you are converting from 265 to 264 and expecting smaller file sizes, but CPU you are going from 264 to 265?

If compression methods/codecs are equal, the hardware shouldn't affect compression

You can seed without port forwarding

difficult and/or illegal.

I don't think using a VPN gets you out of the illegal part, lol.

That was a rephrasing of the statement, not an answer to the question. He's asking why it matters. What is the "good measure"?

Jesus, Aldo couldn't wait to get his shorts off!

Scary stuff. His team let him down huge.

Oh good, it's not just me with weird freezing problems. I often see individual windows hang for a good while as well, and then KWin just restarts in place.
