What distro choices could actually affect how well a game works across Linux setups? The only one i can think of is maybe sound API with Pulse Compatible vs ALSA only (now very rare) vs JACK only.
Graphics APIs are uniform (Vulkan or OpenGL). Networking APIs have been uniform for decades. Controller API had a brief disruption in the joystick API vs Event API which I believe has very much resolved in favour of the latter.

For non-fiction I’ve read Chokepoint Capitalism and The Internet Con. The Internet Con was a lot like his online essays, to the point where it felt redundant, but he does good essays so if you haven’t read them it’s a good way to get around his work. Chokepoint Capitalism was a little more novel (probably in part because he coauthoured). Neither were very dry, which is significant for the genre.
Fiction, I’ve read Walkaway and Unauthorised Bread. Walkaway is good worldbuilding with both fascinating and bizarre ideas, but I don’t think it’s good fiction. Unauthorised Bread is a short story available online and is excellent.
I assume this is specific to his fiction?
Very much my experience with Walkaway. Unauthorized bread (short story) was a little better executed imo.
Has an onboarding wizard, includes text, voice and video calling, OMEMO encryption, group chats etc.
But more importantly, what have you tried and why didn’t they work for you?
Graphene is focused on security, not privacy
The name is really just branding - Chromecast, Google Cast and Google TV have all been used for radically different Cast Receiver products. The important part though is that my device doesn’t have Android TV installed on it; it doesn’t have Apps and I can’t install VLC on it.
(If you meant VLC was on the mobile device, I believe this is a separate system where you stream from the mobile device to the Cast Receiver thingy. The big value of Chromecast (the standard) is that the mobile device doesn’t do any real work, just tells the Cast Receiver where to look for the stream. If I misunderstand the situation let me know, I’m eternally hopeful)
Yeah, I’ve got an actual Chromecast, not a Google TV, so I can’t install anything on it. I have enough computers around that buying anything new would be redundant, but nothing works quite like a Chromecast.
The only reason I’m on a Google rom is because I can’t get confirmation that I can cast Netflix to a Chromecast with microG. It’s the only Google ecosystem thing that matters to me. If they try to break my phone then I finally get to get over that hump, no loss. Almost everything in my phone is F-Droid (“side-loaded” is such a loaded phrase)
I’m also hopeful that this move will get struck down given the recent anti competitive practices cases they’ve lost.
It’s easy to win a war when your enemy is strangling themselves to death.
In some places that’s legal. In no places is that moral

I still appreciate it in this list, but the caveat is important

Two days ago Windows Update deleted my Linux EFI boot entry on another disk.
About a year ago an update broke Bluetooth so that I could never add or remove any devices. That had not been fixed last time I tried, several updates later.
About 5 years ago I was flat out unable to update Windows for 6 months, due to what turned out to be a bug when an unknown hard drive was attached.
You may appreciate the Do What the Fuck You Want to Public License, though more alternatives are usually recommended.
Glad they were responsive, I’m used to customer support lines just pussyfooting around.
Hopefully they weren’t just trying to prevent you caterwauling
I wonder if the old fan failed due to tin whiskers?
I’ll see myself out
