So, I discovered weird behavior when trying to play games on an NTFS file system in Linux.

When i auto mount the drive through a fstab entry, it is only able to launch Linux native games (I think I read somewhere that this is a permission issue).

However, if I mount it through steams "select a drive" option, it works without a problem (so far at least).

I assume this is again a permission issue, as when I mount the drive through steam, I get a Polkit password prompt.

Anyone got a clue what's going on, and/or maybe a way to make the auto mount work, so I don't have to manually mount it after every boot?

Edit: solved i just used a paid app that gives you 3 free downloads

Hey, so I have some downloads on Amazon Prime that I want to remove the DRM from, however I only find deleted posts on Reddit or some sketchy programs/sites I really don't trust. Does any of you guys know how to remove the DRM?

I'm willing to do a lot of work if I have to as long as it's free.

Also, if it is an application that does it, I'd prefer FOSS even if it's inferior.

Maybe I can reward the first person with a solution with some movie of choice😉

Specifically i want that the baterry icon in my status bar doesn't change color when the baterry saver is on.

I have a rooted phone with magisk and lsposed if that helps.

(My reason for that is that the color doesn't fit with my theming but i need the battery saver to keep my phone from dying throughout the day)

Doese anybody have any app recommendations for a rooted phone with lineageOS?

Things like: A proper file explorer A terminal if possible And apps in general that you can't use without root (i.e. power saver tuner(although it's possible without root))

Pretty much all graphical apps that dont have thier own theming option (like firefox) are always just the white background default theme. No matter wether it's qt or gtk. Wich files would i need to edit to change that? Searching on the internet only told me that i should change an environment variable bit doing so changed nothing even though i have the themes installed

dotfiles

dont mind that cava is white... i forgot to change that
