And how exactly does that fix the issue with the client going against the spirit (if not the law) of the GPL?

You'll not have to download anything then, AMD drivers are baked in. You'll literally be able to boot your OS for the first time, install a game and it'll get full performance off the bat

Waiting for the army of MS shills coming to tell you that they can't possibly use Linux because of the myriad high end professional-grade software they use which means absolutely no one could ever go near Linux either. Because that's really important when it comes to getting more life out of your shitty 2gb Atom netbook

If you just install Linux on your Mac and have a dark Qt theme set, Qbittorrent will also be dark.

I thought we'd blocked ads already?

Dark Reader extension turns all websites into dark mode whether they like it or not.

Checkmate!

You can do that with a Pinecil too, there is a web-bluetooth frontend available for the V2 (the V1 doesn't have Bluetooth).

The n900 was truly the best phone ever to exist and I'm deeply upset about it not having a modern equivalent

Use Heroic launcher for Epic games, it works great for everything I've put through it (including anti-cheat riddled stuff like GTA5 and Fall Guys). Heroic also supports GOG games. Lutris does the rest but can be a bit hit and miss compared to Steam/Heroic.

You're 100% right. Linux itself is perfectly capable for a lot of users (note I didn't say all users, or even most users, before people start coming at me with their weird edge case that requires Windows) but the community of both users and devs do absolutely nothing good to get people on board.

Acktually a fair few counties in the US have gone bankrupt building car-centric infrastructure, because it's ruinously expensive and doesn't even come close to being covered by the taxation they put on cars. Mass transit and bike infrastructure costs are miniscule in comparison and sometimes even actively gain money.

Another unsung nicety related to this one is that you can fully update your system but only start using it once you reboot. Too many times I updated the kernel on Arch only to find everything stopped working until I rebooted, hence why routine updates can just be done automatically with no issues to the user.

ARM boards are just a pain to use right now. There's always some stupid quirk or driver problem and that's if you even manage to find an up to date image for your chosen OS that works (because I can just about guarantee the 'generic ARM' one won't). Feels like every few months someone announces something that'll make all these problems go away yet here we are.
