The free trial isn't a business model. It's a demo.
You only have a F2P model after you add the aggressive monetisation.

Okay, but if they packed it full of microtransactions and premium currency, it'd be a worse game.
Unless you mean you just want the publisher to make less money, which isn't an option they're going to be interested in.
I for one definitely feel like big corporations are pissing on me.
I mean, it's bits of configuration all over the place that I've built up over time. It isn't a single script on one machine, and you'd need to change a lot of things if you weren't running Slackware. I can't really copy and paste it all.
Network namespaces and policy based routing are black magic, IMO.
I've got a VPN set up on my router and separate VLANs set up for ordinary traffic and VPN traffic. A device doesn't need to support VPNs at all, I just connect it to the VPN VLAN and all its traffic goes over the VPN whether it likes it or not. I've got separate wifi SSIDs for each VLAN.
My desktop is connected to both VLANs with a network namespace set up for the VPN VLAN, so sudo vpn rtorrent runs rtorrent in the namespace that's connected to the VPN VLAN.
My setup is nice, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to learn quite a bit about networking.
Yeah, but because pricing jumped like someone set a firecracker off under it's chair people are actually still using vintage GPUs.
The devs have been working hard to hammer out those troublesome edge cases. There's a lot less of them than there was a year or two ago.
IIRC Nvidia needs explicit sync support to work reliably. It's fairly new and might not have landed in some distros, especially the stable releases.
Plot twist: Dad knows about the monster in the woods and that's why he wants to make sure anon gets home on time.
As a large language model, I don't have an opinion on this subject.
Wayland has a bunch of features that are so new they aren't in the stable distros yet.
Nvidia went from declaring they were never going to support Wayland to trying to force their own EGLStreams stuff on everybody to reluctantly accepting the standard that was developed without them and trying to make it work for their driver. They're playing catchup and it's entirely their own fault for refusing to cooperate with anybody.
They're moving more towards open source drivers now, probably because the people buying billions of dollars worth of GPUs to use on Linux servers for AI training have had words with Nvidia on the subject.
