Hm, maybe A?

Age of Empires

Anno

Assassin's Creed

Aloft

Against the Storm

Across the Obelisk

Hm, E would be a good option as well

Elden Ring

Elder Scrolls

Europa Universalis

Endless (Space, Legend)

As a side note, would "Sid Meier's Civilization V" count as "s" or "c"?

I think "speed up Wayland development" isn't quite right, tho it will probably feel that way to end user. It's about getting experimental protocols into the hands of users in a formalized manner while the stable protocol is still being forged. This already exists in certain forms e.g. HDR support being added before the protocol is finalized, but having a more formalized system is probably pretty helpful for interoperability, e.g. apps having to work with different DE's.

My biggest is concern is whether there's a possibility this will actually slow down Wayland development by pulling attention away from the stable Wayland protocols in favor of Frog Protocols. But hopefully the quicker real world usage of the new protocols will bring more benefits than the potential downside.

If you're worried about the lack of Unix-style permissions and attributes in NTFS

I'm pretty sure Linux still uses Unix-style permissions in NTFS, which causes issues when Windows tries to use its own permission system on the same partition.

Property tax is a wealth tax, not an unrealized gain tax. You still pay if your property value goes down, you just pay less.

In 2027 the current iteration won't be legally able to be sold in the EU, since the EU will require portable devices to have easily replaceable batteries. (Which the Steam does not qualify for due to needing a heat gun). So an upgrade is almost certainly planned by then.

In the long-term yes, but in the short-term and even medium-term, housing takes time to build, so there's going to be a lag. During that lag, it can cause problems even without NIMBY policies.

I feel like there's also the point that on Mac OS a lot of stuff "just works" because everything else just doesn't work at all. I have a number of things that just aren't going to work at all on Mac. Linux is obviously much more permissive, which leads to a lot more kinda working stuff that just wouldn't work at all on Mac.

The compositors are the ones doing a lot of the protocol development. They want to have WIP versions so they can see what issues crop up, they've been making versions all doing. Now, I agree that it is slowing things down, but it's more of just an additional thing that needs to get done, not so much a chicken and egg problem.

For a very long time people will also still need to understand what they are asking the machine to do. If you tell it to write code for an impossible concept, it can't make it. If you ask it to write code to do something incredibly inefficiently, it's going to give you code that is incredibly inefficient.

Wine and Proton have actually put a ton of work into Wayland support, it's very far along. I wouldn't be surprised for Proton to have a native Wayland version soon.

Also XWayland has many limitations as X11 does.

If an app has only ever supported X11, then it probably doesn't care about those limitations (the apps that do care probably already have a Wayland version). And if an app doesn't care about the extra stuff Wayland has to offer, then there's not really a reason to add the extra support burden of Wayland. As long as they work fine in XWayland, I think a lot of apps won't switch over until X11 support starts dropping from their toolkit, and they'll just go straight to Wayland-only.

Programming languages is way too broad a category. There's a lot of variation in both power and difficulty.
