They might not even know the source. The Guardian for example has a Tor service to upload them stuff completely anonymously.

Of course the crooked courts will pretend they're refusing to comply and jail them anyway to make a show.

The main issue you'll run into is nicher proprietary software being hard to install, but that's what containers are for. The main one I see is if you need to install some proprietary VPN client it gets annoying, but since you'll be running a VM anyway you can do some network trickery. My work's antivirus only works on Ubuntu and RHEL, proprietary kernel modules so it's got to be at least one of those kernels.

Linux is Linux, nothing's impossible to solve even with Bazzite's immutability. Worst comes to worst you make your own images and it's not that hard, you basically just fork it on GitHub and let the CI do its thing.

But do you have time to fiddle to make it work and take the risk, or do you want to play it safe? How confident are you with Bazzite's more advanced topics?

Ah yes, he's the only government allowed to collect taxes.

Ubuntu 7.10 so late 2007, but I guess the nerd part came when I installed Arch in 2011. Still running that very same install.

Gotta condition americans to the norm of guilty until proven innocent early!

And hopefully ad blockers too.

My own personal example: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/s/8FM1ZvXi68

It just doesn't look great nor serious nor welcoming.

The guy gives a ton of "I don't care about anyone's use cases except mines" vibes too. Also called Gnome and KDE teletubbies DEs when I mentioned xcomposite being an important feature. Basically considering the widely known issues around multimonitor vsync and mismatched resolutions and all as basically not real issues with Xorg.

XLibre is 100% a political fork because the guy claims Xorg is deprecated by a big tech conspiracy pushing inferior software onto users. There's nothing wrong with wanting to continue Xorg's legacy but come on we don't have to pretend Xorg is this perfect thing that always works. Xorg has been hated for decades for a reason. This xkcd exists for a reason: https://xkcd.com/963/

It's been a while, but I believe you do need the annoying new XML/SVG thing as it also doubles as the splash screen animation when you open an app as well. You can embed a PNG in those but vector is preferred because of screen resolutions.

Wishing you great success with your app, disabilities are wildly underserved especially in open-source.

Wine has always done that, last seen on Plasma 5 (I switched to Wayland with Plasma 6), and I remember that being a thing way back in 2007 too. Valved patched the scaling in Proton as well I believe so that might be why it didn't do that.

It behaves how fullscreen apps work on Windows, takes over your whole display and messes with the resolution and all.

It's supposed to scale correctly, but otherwise Gamescope will take care of that particular issue.

Kinda annoying on Xorg when the game just decides my screen should be 800x600 and then proceeds to crash and leave me at 800x600 on a 4K display with scaling set to 200%.

I think it's also made much more apparent when that demographic that had no interest in computers were forced to be chronically online due to the lockdowns and quickly found the anti-vaxx groups, and suddenly felt like their opinion matters and that everyone is an expert if they do a little bit of "research".
