AFAIK it uses certificates for that, kinda like a more aggressive form of Windows' User Account Control.

+1 for Gentoo - Portage can be fun in a weird way. I'm more of a "just work" type of person though, so I've stuck to Arch, but the time I had with Gentoo was pretty great and the new binary package format might bring me back. I do have a 7950X nowadays so I wonder if that'd fly through Gentoo on bare metal.
To be honest, social media including Mastodon is pretty awful for right-on-the-second emergency notifications but good for any extended information that wouldn't fit in those. Japan does have things in place for before then, similarly to America, but depending on the system you could link to that link just fine.
Does that go through regular EAS? Wondering.
FWIW, Japan does have emergency alerts on iOS and Android, same thing as the Netherlands and the UK.
There are Gentoo distros that have binary packages, and Funtoo (a Gentoo-based distro that's 64-bit only) even suggests using Flatpak for certain software that needs 32-bit resources like Steam. Hell, you can install Flatpak on Gentoo if you want. Gentoo also provided binary packages in the past but only for a few packages (mainly web browsers, but annoyingly not qtwebengine. maybe that's changed here.)
Gentoo is more about having fine-grained control of your system than anything else nowadays. If that's what you want, go ahead! For most people, Arch or even something with less control like Ubuntu or Fedora will suffice.
If you like having more finetuned control, Gentoo is pretty neat.
My experience with Heroic has been... okay. I think the big issue is that a lot of tools are built with Steam in mind and not Heroic, which unintentionally adds friction.
Go tell Fedora that then lol. They want it gone to the point where Nate is telling users who want X to stay away on that post. Xwayland I believe will still be around though.
Hey, don't sweat it. You gotta use what's right for you and that's all that matters. Talking from a dual-booter's perspective, here.
System76 seems to be well-rated for Linux support, even ones with NVIDIA in them, and Framework maintains a list of Linux distros they support.
Is it wrong to get Author's Guild lawsuit vibes with the NYT vs. OpenAI stuff? Seems similar.
