It should be yes, though to be fair Americans are the worst for doing this when it's the other way round.

It's worth a try, though in my experience it can struggle with very large files.

Can you save it DRM-free? That's all I ask for.

Sure, I pretty much use the method explained here for weekly backups: https://fedoramagazine.org/btrfs-snapshots-backup-incremental/

Btrfs for everything these days, subvolume snapshots have been game-changing for me for doing backups.

Shouldn’t they also use the same bullshit excuse when issuing an ID card? At least make the dumb rules consistent.

To be fair, ID cards aren't common in the UK and passports are very common. This is quite probably the first time she's applied for any form of ID. Not agreeing with it, just saying.

as did CentOS before it

Fedora is older than CentOS?

Last Windows I used exclusively was 98. I dual-booted XP at home but gave it up when I realised Linux had everything I need and I never used the Windows partition. Still had to use Windows 7 at work for a few years but since then I've worked in a position where I can bring my own OS.

Hence the fight. Why do I feel like I'm being taken oddly literally here today?

I know that but it still feels like paying twice, or paying extra for something that should be standard in any sane world. Presumably this software doesn't give you a download licence.

Paying money to download content I've already paid for?

Begs the question what's the point in all of this? In 20 or so years of using Linux (usually maintaining multiple systems at once) I've had a kernel panic maybe about 4 times for different reasons, and on those occasions the console debug info was fine. I don't really understand the excitement around making error messages look more like Windows. It can't be around being more newbie friendly since if you're having kernel panics you probably need to be an expert or have expert advice anyway.
