Yeah they finally relented to pressure or maybe it was greed and started pumping our information out to the highest bidders. But then the NSA was a team member at the table for Microsoft's development of Windows 7 and after. The Ubuntu team did go back and make that rather intrusive feature an option you could shut off. The "cloud" that they have now come up with like all the other clouds is also something I stay out of.if you still have problems for running ren'py you should give this video a try:
You must be registered to see the links
but, sadly, wendell has said that, at the end of the day a windows vm with a separate card is the best option.
also, it is not my place to critique your OS choice, but ubuntu has done some really shady stuff and continues to do so, like adding spyware and selling the info to amazon (this was removed upon outcry in later editions) and still do similar things, i wouldnt recommend ubuntu, and at least i want you to be aware the company developing it does a lot of this stuff.
I moved to Linux after having my bank debit card number stolen a few times running windows with every malware, spyware, trapware software I could get. I also went through the hundreds of ports Windows leaves open to breaches and shut down as many as I could. It still didn't secure the machine completely. Since I moved to Ubuntu several years ago my card has not been compromised.
In general, if you are on the internet, you are being spied on by multiple sources for various reasons. Anonymous VPN's are not really a fix for this either even though they advertise themselves to be. NSA has broken every commercial encryption system being used or leveraged their power to force encryption software developers to give them the inside hook(like Microsoft did). I do run duck duck which is supposed to be a privacy guaranteed domain name server but I think that is also unlikely.
Sadly, this is where we have come to with our Bill of Rights versus the internet.
