Game Music is as viable as top charting music. After all, a lot of Sega's early aural identity was informed by the popular music in Japan. A lot of game music is cinematic enough that MPR's "YourClassical" curates it into its own internet radio channel with notable movie scores, called "Pixel and Plot". Hell, a good chunk of the amateur remixing community cuts its teeth on OCReMixes.

It's been a long time, so I could be misremembering.

If that's the case, then Tiny Core or Damn Small to replace it.

True. There's... a lot to unpack with this.

Package Management is weird.

Debian, OpenSUSE, Fedora, Arch, GuixSD, NixOS, Slack, Gentoo, LFS, and I want to say... Knoppix?

rpm/dpkg is the package format. apt/dnf/zypper is the system that downloads, unarchives, and moves files into place.

"will be"?

Try "is". It's already here. Saw temps upwards of 90 degrees in the afternoon one week in... March, I want to say.

If they are reliant on MS Authenticator for work, it probably means they use MS365 with notification authentication active. GNOME Authenticator, Secrets, and Keyguard might not cut it for them.

In some countries, the Expressways and Freeways are operated by public entities, rather than state transportation departments. For example, in Japan, the Shutoko System that runs through Tokyo is operated by the Metropolitan Expressway Public Corporation.

Comparing that to the United States, that would be like if the sections of the Eisenhower Interstate System were operated by "Name of City Expressway Transit District", who has a publicly elected board at Election Season and bills people for using the system.

That's how you become CEO of road.

I would have to agree with dream_weasel. It's all about portability. Though, I would like to add on accurate reproducibility. LibreOffice's font rendering differs from system to system. A typesetting system like roff, TeX, and Typst aims to be reproducible, with TeX being the most as it uses packages and its own font format for rendering. The same argument can be made with MIDI vs Module. While MIDI can be used everywhere, all it is is just note data and metrics. Modules contain all of that plus the sample data, allowing for near perfect reproduction.
