I would've enjoyed reading the touching letter that a father from Thailand wrote... Nice post!
I heard conduit.rs has lower memory requirements. Dunno if there's a easy to deploy container tho. Good luck!
Endless OS had everything bundled
Retroshare.net
Right when I was thinking this would be fake... because $10 multiplied by the number of affected individuals would be huge... Of course, they had to cancel after a junior dev show the arithmetics to them ;P
In the past I used it together with KTimeTracker. It's a solution, of the many available... Sadly, none was really optimal IMHO
To expand a little bit to your comparison, keep in mind that giving such root access and actually putting it to X or Y use are two different scenarios. That's probably why LoL anti-cheat doesn't work on Linux even if you were to run it as root. But, again, I'm quite ignorant on that technology too. Needles to say, there are games with anti-cheat technology that work on Linux (e.g. Steam VAC)
I don't know that software at all, but regarding Linux, we can have anything at any level once you give the admin access, a.k.a. "root" (e.g. binary files that are "attached" to the kernel for a purpose, like making a piece of hardware work.) so... Yes, probably it's on a similarly low level.
I think they should allow themselves to give a whole new name, as if you were starting your own distro. How would you like to name it? Go for it.
Yes! It has many other niceties I didn't mention, they're all listed in their website.
https://garudalinux.org/ , based on archlinux with calamares installer and optimized binary packages, plus zstd-compressed btrfs and snapper (easy rollbacks for updates from grub items). And many other thingys. Oh, and as default kde theme a fork of my favorite, Sweet.
I have no experience with this, but it might be worth to investigate what Home Assistant has to offer both as a DLNA server and clients (I'm thinking on cheap SBCs in each room..)
