Consider buying Amd radeon 9060 xt gpu. Newer than 7600.
Edit: I also considered Steam Machine, but actually bought pre-owned computer with Ryzen 5700, 250 gb nvme,16 GB ddr4 ram, Radeon 9060 xt gpu for 570€. Granted being ddr4 and am4 motherboard system it is not easily upgradable, but it was affordable. And performance is better than Steam Machine. And of course bigger ssd is needed too at some point.
Creating a different user account for it is out of the question btw, since you can still change the password for that user via the primary admin account.
First of all, if users have admin rights, nothing really prevents them to run that app. Even if you encrypt the app itself, they can just reinstall/replace it from standard repository.
Few ways this can be done:
If app needs internet connection, you may use firewall rules to block said connections, or even application firewall (Opensnitch). Create script which unloads said rules via su (create diffrent accounts with passwords the user must know) then runs app, and after closing app loads rules again. Users must not have admin rights or they can just unload fw rules.
Create encrypted container/directory, protected by password, and manually install said app under there (probably needs manual recompile of the app). Create script which asks password, unlocks the encrypted location, runs app, and locks container after use. Again, no admin rights for users or they just install same app from repositories.
Use apparmor or selinux to block said app. And again create script which by using su (create diffrent accounts with passwords the user must know) allows app via selinux/apparmor policies and runs app, and blocks it again afterwards. I repeat, users must not have admin rights or they can just unload those blocks.
What app it is?
EDIT: Clarification for su usage
To have user asked password before app can be done via su + sudo like this
create user demouser
give password of that user to end user
give demouser sudo rights to run particular command as root without password (to unload fw rules, unload apparmor/selinux policy etc).
I am working in company where about 35% of users are on Windows, 40% on Linux and 25% on Mac. In Linux, official way to use MS Office is web apps, but Libreoffice is quite heavily used too.
Oh yes. But to be fair, RT is pure Russian propaganda.

Why you cannot delete with swaylock? Backspace should work

Did you upgrade its firmware?
Same workaround works here as with dirty frag. Just disable those kernel modules.
I would use Ubuntu LTS (free) or Redhat Enterprise Linux. If paying is not an option, some RHEL derivate would probably also work.
Care to elaborate how Ubuntu failed newest release?
Systemd has already won. So other init systems must adapt, and modify themselves to be compatible with systemd.
Here is how you can find it.
You are trying to install wrong versions of nvidia drivers and proton app.
For nvidia, use this https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-26-04
For proton vpn, I assume you are trying to install app meant for 24.04. Do not do that, just search one for 26.04, if it is available.
I really hope Link is going to break some pots.
I am using Tiling Shell
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/7065/tiling-shell/
Puppet / Foreman / Ansible for managing servers, and probably for workstations too.
Checkmk / Nagios / Zabbix for monitoring.
FreeIPA for user management.
I think it is because in Ubuntu, Gnome is more common than KDE. It just seems that KDE people are more vocal in their opinions.

How to know if you are old:
First thing which comes to mind from DDR is not game about dancing or computer memory, but Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR).

Excellent news.
Congrats for a good working system. Lenovo professional range laptops are usually working quite well with Linux, just use recent enough Linux version.
Wild guess. Libspa version has changed and thus its path too. You will have to put (probsbly new version) of aac.so file to new libspa directory.
Yeah, it might require new one if dependencies have been changed.
Note. Before rebooting, regenerate initramfs for all kernel versions. I am not in debian, but dpkg-reconfigure initramfs-tools might do it.
