I really miss the old CS Source community server scene. Especially in the UK, there were university servers, old man servers, clan servers, all sorts.

It's so lonely I don't really enjoy playing anymore. Where did everyone go?

Now you can run a native client on Wayland and pipewire. The only big issue I've seen is CPU starvation on the servers during the launch, but that should get fixed soon.
