Arch updates going bad is much more likely to happen if the system goes without updates for a long time. So I'd really not recommend it for a seldomly used laptop.
But regularly updated Arch is fine. Even if something breaks it's usually easy to deal with.
Valve still uses Ubuntu as it's base for it's Linux game runtimes. Dev's are encouraged to use it for developing Linux games, since it guarantees specific dependencies being available. This runtime is a container which comes with Steam and works on any distro.
Valve basically solved Linux problem with too many distros with different deps.
Some gamepad player are really good. Especially in Overwatch, which has characters like Mercy, Moira or Reinhardt that can provide value even without good aim.
Though Overwatch doesn't have aim assist on pc, so it's probably difficult even for most experienced gamepad players.
I did use it more than half a year ago for a few math problems. It was partly to help me getting started and to find out how well it'd go.
ChatGPT was better than I'd thought and was enough to help me find an actually correct solution. But I also noticed that the results got worse and worse to the point of being actual garbage (as it'd have been expected to be).
One thing to keep in mind is that Framework makes it easier by directly selling in Europe. With S76 there're import fees etc that make it less straightforward. Especially in case of an RMA.
Timeshift makes OS snapshots, but theming is stored almost all the time in the home directory. Deleting your home directory or only select folders (e.g. .config) would've probably reset theming. Or creating a new user.
But Oracle? How are they better in any way? RedHat still writes FOSS software. Oracle just profited off it being easy for RHEL customers to migrate to Oracle Linux. They do add on top of RHEL, but they could built a distro themselves too.
I don't remember whether Linus said blocking ads is a crime. It isn't a crime, and that's really important.
At that point piracy becomes a meaningless phrase when even the FBI endorses the piracy tool.
I don't think it's right to call something a piracy tool. We have the similar discussions about "hacking tools". Nmap can be used for commuting crimes, just like BitTorrent, the Internet or my kitchen knifes.
With this it isn't a problem for the FBI to promote "piracy tools", since almost everything can be used for good and legal purposes. uBlock is one of the most important tools to be secure on the internet, just like nmap to make sure systems are secure.
He can argue it's morally unfair for people to legally visit YouTube and legally not disable Adblock to view his channel, but it's not a crime.
LTT also did videos about PiHole and YouTube Vanced, so I personally don't think it's hypocrisy advertising VPN's (as long as those VPN ads don't lie about it's benefits).
I do believe that Linus once again uses words in ways not commonly used. I.e. if they define piracy as
consuming content without paying how the creator intended
then blcoking ads is piracy. But the commonly used definition is more like wikipedia's
[...] Online piracy or software piracy is the practice of downloading and distributing copyrighted works digitally without permission [...]
Trying sth new is never a bad idea. From live cd's, over vm's or distrobox containers, it makes you more comfortable in switching between environments.
Flatpak is mainly for packaging desktop apps, whilst snap can update the entire distro (kernel, mesa, system apps, cli). Snap does things Fedora needs rpm-ostree for.
In my opinion docker isn't as useful for cli tools. I need easy access to many little tools, and this results in me having one container with everything. But that doesn't work well with network capture etc. In the end being able to install packages system wide quickly is really useful.

That won't work since Valve doesn't want to bake such software into SteamOS.
My guess is that they'll use FaceIt AC as a server side component to detect cheaters.

They are even shipping through Amazon even if bought through Anker/Soundcore website.

This article reads to me like satire from Oracle.
PS: I don't like what RH done either.

Agreed.

IIRC organic maps uses OpenStreetMap data.

Why hyprocisy? It's a fair point to say circumventing paying in some way is piracy. It's possible, so anyone can decide for themselves.
The instance or the project? How could a interface violate a license?
In short, Google limits extension API access, which blocks extensions like uBlock Origin from reaching their full potential. Firefox doesn't.
How did you make sure that the internet can only be reached through the VPN?
If it works, don't switch distros. There's always an OS which does sth. better.
Waylock, because it keeps sway locked even if the screen locker crashes.
