From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That was actually a part of the main question, but then I decided not to include it. Opensnitch shows so many popups that I get confused which is to allow and which to deny. Sometimes things could break and a reboot is necessary.
Edit: I'm going to install it regardless. Thanks
That will be the case with any firewall, you'll have to block everything and then figure out what is needed for the game to work as expected.
True, but I think firewalls don't have that scary popup opensnitch has. They do their thing silently. lol
Set it to default deny and it should stop the popups!
Why not spin up a pihole instance? Once you setup your blocklists you barely have to maintain it besides the occasional update.
Hell, if you don’t have a spare machine to run it on, you can likely run it locally and then change your PC’s network to use it as your DNS resolver.
