James T. Kirk acted as if the Temporal Prime Directive didn't exist. Kathryn Janeway knew it existed but actively didn't give a fuck.

I've never used AMD, but folks I know have had good experiences with both; support is about equal. You probably don't need to go for a top-tier device, and if you're running VMs and containers you should be just as concerned about RAM and disk space as CPU
Well, Linux is 32 years old; GNU goes back to 1984, and Unix all the way back to 1970! The history of this OS is much older than Linus Torvalds's involvement; he "only" created and maintains the most popular kernel.
But yes, happy birthday to Linux. Many thousands have contributed to making this operating system what it is today and they all have my utmost thanks for it.
I know Okular can do at least most of that. Don't think it's available for Mac OS X, though.
Depends on a few factors, AFAIK as a non-lawyer. If the license allows closed-source derivatives (i.e. is permissive rather than copyleft), then anyone can create a closed-source version with all of the contributors' changes, including the original maintainer. And anyone can choose to keep it open-source. The community contributions still to some extent belong to the contributors, though the license waives most of their rights.
Some projects are copyleft, but contributors are required to sign a license agreement (a CLA) which allows a single entity to change the license as they desire, including to closed-source - this is a good reason to avoid such projects. The contributors don't own their work in such a case, but they can still fork the old project as it was before being taken closed source.
In a copyleft (e.g. GPL) project with no CLA, it's illegal for anyone to make a closed-source version, and a major contributor could sue even the maintainer for doing so.
In all such cases, the change to a closed-source model does not erase the existence of the open-source code with community contributions. A fork is always possible.
I use https://vgy.me/ currently. Unfortunately I'm not aware of any open-source options, but vgy at least seems friendly and easy to work with.
There is a complete set of free assets, in the form of Freedoom. Also, the official Steam version is closed-source, so make sure you're getting a free source port. (Most distros have a few in their repos, and Freedoom+GZDoom is also in Flathub.)
I highly recommend playing Doom with the Crispy Doom source port and the Freedoom data files.
For something more modern, Xonotic is about the best-looking FOSS game out there and an excellent multiplayer arena shooter.
F-Droid is the more valuable app store anyway. I always check there before Google Play.
Super glad it's still in production despite all the bullshit with Paramount+. Though I still wonder where it will be published...
VOY: "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy" comes to mind.
