Wish I could daily drive Linux on all my devices

I own 2 laptops and a desktop.
My 2nd laptop has deepin installed on it as a main but my main laptop which has a GTX 1050 TI is only dual booting deepin and windows 10.

My desktop is only Windows 10 and all this is mostly due to gaming and VR. I've been looking into maining Linux as a daily driver on all 3 but it just doesn't seem possible cause I love gaming and VR and I've tried steam proton and steam remote play with latest Linux Nvidia drivers but it either doesn't run or runs pretty bad :(

But God damn other than that Linux is simply amazing and I love it

HBO Go now works "natively" on Linux

Pretty sure it didn't work a few weeks ago but I tried it a few days ago and was surprised that it just worked (Fedora 31, Firefox 71.0 -- no Pipelight or Wine or other workarounds). I enabled Widevine DRM, went to [https://play.hbogo.com](https://play.hbogo.com), and signed in using my cable provider credentials (Comcast Xfinity).

I binged on "Chernobyl" and it was mostly fine except for some tearing at fullscreen (Gnome Classic on Xorg -- need to try Wayland).

Some questions about DRM

I was reading up on DRM (Netflix, Spotify thingy and not the X11 thingy) topics like widewine, playfair, playready etc.,
+ If ms edge comes to linux will it have playready pre-loaded?
+ I was thinking if it was possible for the vendors to write their own DRM implementation in wasm which will be cross platform and we can enjoy 4K in all the platforms.

Noob here. Please go easy if the questions are stupid.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer - is it working properly?

I was curious if Linux does use my audio card properly to decode audio with hardware acceleration or decode it with CPU, then put it through my card to simply play the audio.

Do you have any info about it?

Theoretical Question - Malicious Shell Aliases?

I was thinking about this the other day and it got me thinking...my .bashrc/.zshrc is user-writable and doesn't need root permissions to edit.

What exactly would stop something malicious from adding an alias to either rc file like this:

```
alias ls='ls;./someMaliciousSilentScript.sh'
```

...I would never actually know this is happening, unless I frequently look at my aliases, right? I don't think I've ever seen any shell show me the expanded alias prior to running.

Or I suppose, this just comes down to "don't run stuff you don't know/don't pipe curl to bash/etc"?
