Do most smart TVs still allow performing updates via USB? I have an older LG TV which does this.

If you’d like a GUI, use Trayscale with it.

The Linux version does not provide a GUI on its own, but still makes it super easy to login and manage

The Mac app? That would be great. Only problem is that the plugin ecosystem is centered around macOS, and they use native UI. However, they do have a waitlist for Windows (and iOS).

Something like that is gonna be hard to pull off.

Like as in beer? No. Or free as in freedom? Also no.

However, iCloud will give you a large amount of the feature set for a fraction of the price (starts at $0.99/mo) and will likely give privacy not too far from what Proton gives you.

In the end, there’s always a risk with putting any information on the web.

iCloud+ has this too. 50 seems to be the limit.

Yes, the MX150 is an option for the ThinkPad T480. You can still use the integrated graphics though.

First, you gotta check for ultraviolet, ghost writing, and freezing temps.

(I really hope somebody gets that reference)

I absolutely agree with you, but look at launchers and such. Steam is very much proprietary and commercial. I find it a little odd that those who might do anything to avoid proprietary software, willingly use it for gaming.

Those are just my thoughts.

Is it just me or has using a brand name as a regular noun become really common? For example, Android-based devices are just referred to as “an Android”.

I’m pretty sure 95% of people don’t even know what Windows is. It’s just part of the computer to them.

It’s so odd how proprietary software is frowned upon so much in this community, but no one cares when it comes to gaming.
