They are both in some way related to The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
OpenMW is an open source game engine that can be used to play Morrowind. (There is an unfinished "Example Suite", a CC0 licensed game data that can be used instead of Morrowind game data, so technically OpenMW does not play just Morrowind. Feel free to come help finish the Example Suite)
Skywind is remake / reimagining of Morrowind game in a modified Skyrim engine.

Each entry contains explanations for why they are in a given category.
Fairphone due to having some online code activation thing for OEM unlocking. Bootloader of my FP4 has been unlocked for quite some time now, but if I recall correctly, this activation step was required for me to load custom ROM on it.

This website disappears, you can't unlock your bootloader.
That is why Fairphone is in Caution section.

Microsoft being in "safe" is a bit funny, and the explanation acknowledges that as well.
But it is there due to it containing only two Surface devices, which have easy and standalone bootloader unlock process.

Yes, this is something that should be taken into account when designing this software.
Set dual-boot as a default / design UI in a way that offers dual-boot as a preferred option.
And many other technical issues will probably appear that will have to be figured out.
But I think that at least even thinking about this is a good start.
Also, this reminds me of 2013, when people accidentally nuked their Windows installs with Linux because they wanted to get the Tux in Team Fortress 2 (Valve gave it to people who played Linux version of TF2).

There are many graphics settings that you can configure. So you can play around until you get just right performance for the FOV that you want to have.

I'm sure that there are games (either video games or IRL physical games) designed for this. Some simple "here are some possible instructions, use them to achieve some goal" thing.
Something like described here:

But I am interested in knowing more examples of such games. Is there any Wikipedia article for this category of games? Is there any list with more of them described?
