Had a similar issue as did one of my friends with pixels, which is unfortunate as grapheneos is one hell of a operating system.

Agreed.

For any (k)ubuntu refugees, do as I did and switch to Debian!

Exactly the same issue with me, I bought it on Good Old Games when I used to run windows as I love the premise of GOG, a similar ethos to Linux of actually owning software - but steam proton is just infinitely more practical.

I'm guessing these are points to debate in class?
