What puzzles you is the core of each campaign and highly depends on the layout of it.
You gotta try and if you fail, try a different approach.

Saving the game from time to time helps avoiding catastrophic failures without having to start from the beginning.

I haven’t and truth be told I wasn’t even aware of it.
Thank you for your support in wasting some more time with HOMM 🤗

Heroes of Might and Magic III, although I don’t think the game is bad.
What’s bad is that there’s really nothing new to it and yet from time to time I sink lots of hours into a new campaign.
It’s a kind of time machine bringing me back to more innocent times…
For the same reasons I need to beat some computer opponents in Broodwar on Big Game Hunters every once in a while.

You’re unfortunately right that a Linux phone wouldn’t solve these problems and I’m with you that devs who bend the knee to Google have no interest in providing a Linux phone version - at least for the foreseeable future.
Once there’s a considerable market share for Linux phones (which may never be the case…), those users are potential customers and the tides will shift.
Until then it would at least provide a portable computer that can do a lot of the things current smartphones are capable of, but without the restrictions created by Google and Apple.

I have a more pessimistic view of bad scenarios.
Combine Google Play Integrity checks with being unable to install apps except they’re from the Play Store and you are at the whim of Google.
Right now I’m battling an app provider (of an app I rely on) who decided to start Play Integrity check shenanigans, although that’s in violation with their TOS. I know about not so great scenarios already. My alternative would be to cave and forfeit GrapheneOS, which I’m not willing to do.
We. need. Linuxphones!

I’m not saying I’m a fan of that, but at least Apple is upfront about the walled garden they offer and ever has been.
Google started differently, but turned around 180 degrees.

Bazzite made installing and running it on an HP Victus laptop with dedicated Nvidia GPU a breeze.
Does CachyOS handle dedicated Nvidia GPUs well?
Arch would be nice as base OS, too. Although I’m quite happy with my Fedora derivative.

I wasn’t aware of that.
Thanks for letting me know!

Thank you!
That’s what I was hoping for, because I’m loving my Steam Deck for it (and Bazzite on my laptop too).

Google is paving the ground for Linuxphones.
It’s so blatantly obvious how evil they’ve become that it makes striving for alternatives a necessity.

Give it the same desktop mode as the Steam Deck and I’m already sold.

Lucky me needs Proxmox only for self-hosting and loves it :)

Especially considering this was losless - strictly speaking only the compression of the SSD was… 😈
