Why on Earth would they make it Nvidia exclusive given how thoroughly that company has screwed the pooch on open source drivers and consequently how dominant AMD has come to be in Linux gaming?

The demographics you describe in 1 and 2 are de facto an incredibly small minority compared to other, more typical forms of immigration. Just think about what percentage of the population is wealthy enough to emigrate, let alone engage in borderline sex trafficking.

As for #3, yes, we have a party who is currently succeeding in pitching populism and proto-fascism dressed up in culture war nonsense. The job of progressives is to address those same economic concerns in a manner that actually works rather than the trickle down myth from the right that has so thoroughly gutted the middle class.

Don't bet on it- I've been playing since release (11.5yrs) and can't claim that. ;)

Niche, I know, but I'm waiting on full functionality in Input Leap (Barrier fork which was a Synergy 1.x fork). Right now it sounds like it's 90% of the way there but lacks clipboard sharing. I'm running Wayland on my desktop, but this soft kvm is pretty fundamental to my workflow on my laptop.

Framework machines are great, and certainly upgradeable, but $300 they are most certainly not.

Do you know if they every fixed the issues with M&K controls on games in Desktop mode? There are a few games I play a lot that just don't work well with a controller for me, so this was a killer for my use case.

Living downtown typically means a lot more walking, biking, and public transit, precisely because you're there in the middle of everything. When you've got everything from grocery stores, pubs, cafes, parks, cultural attractions, etc all within walking distance, your need to drive anywhere becomes occasional at most.

Remote work forever, and repurpose the useless office buildings into conveniently located downtown living space to help ease housing shortages and drive urban density.

WHY is Gamora?

Anecdote, I know, but for my use cases, Wayland just isn't there yet- I wind up with far more random bugs and less battery life. I don't pretend to know why, I'm a pleb non-developer, but until that's resolved I'm still stuck on X. I'd love to use the new shiny thing of The Future™, but not at the cost of stability and usability.

I had Dakka Squadron on my wish list, so I got that. My wallet remains undamaged.

I did this way back in the day on my Mandrake installation with a 1.44" floppy. Only tricky part was that I had to run cp from the floppy instead of from normal $PATH as I'd wiped out /bin.
