The desktop app is called "EA App" not "EA Play" which is where the confusion is coming from. "EA Play" is the game subscription service that's like gamepass.

I had the exact same issue as you in Apex Legends, and I was able to find a workaround. Basically, nvidia reflex didn't work with dx11 (DXVK) at all, but forcing the game into dx12 (VKD3D) mode worked without issue.

To enable, you just need to set this in your launch options.

%command% -anticheat_settings=SettingsDX12.json

Also, you may need to set the nvapi environmental variable, but I'm pretty sure nvapi is already enabled in proton for Apex Legends.

I recommend using proton experimental as it uses an up-to-date version of dxvk-nvapi

As of proton 9.0 the environmental variable is now PROTON_FORCE_NVAPI=1

Honestly, good take. I think Starfield is overhated. It definitely isn't Bethesda's best work, but it has its strengths. I just wish they had someone actually advocating for QoL and immersion, like letting you navigate more without the map in ships and masking the warp loading screen better.

Plasma 6 is currently in beta, so it really isn't meant to be used for anything other than testing. I have it installed on arch, and honestly it's good enough for my use with wayland, but you will definitely will run into issues. I also use Nvidia, though, so I'd probably have more issues than you will.

Overall, I only recommend it right now if you can roll back or if it isn't that big of a deal if your install breaks.

It's a good app, but it also hasn't received an update in two months.

The IP address that a request is coming from can absolutely cause captchas to be triggered. If the host is seeing a lot of bot activity from your IP, it'll do that. That and blacklisting is why Mullvad rotates IPs.

Why both Overseerr and Ombi?

You can install any extension you want, but it's a bit of a process. https://www.androidpolice.com/install-add-on-extension-mozilla-firefox-android/

Overseerr - Request management and media discovery tool for the Plex ecosystem, can auto add requests to Sonarr/Radarr

Jellyseerr - Fork of Overseerr for Jellyfin support

It's worth mentioning Kapowarr which is a new app in the Arr suite for downloading comics, it's still a bit feature-barren because it's new, but it's absolutely functional.
