Specifically programs.steam.enable = true sets up the direct rendering and 32-bit libraries that you generally need.

I was confused at first about how to install wine runners in Lutris or in Bottles. It turns out you do it the same way as in any other distro, through the app.

Seems like a matter of preference, and I see the logic in it. I'll mention that Nushell makes it easy to create custom shell functions that are invoked as sub-commands in this manner. https://www.nushell.sh/book/custom_commands.html#command-names

I'm not an expert, but I've heard that Rad bikes are good for their price, and they have been touting the safety of their batteries. (Rad is not the cheapest, but is not as expensive as the high-end bikes.)

I wanted a cargo bike to transport my kid, and I wanted a mid-drive since I'm told the motor assist on that type of drive feels more natural. So I went with a Tern.

As someone who is not onboard with dismantling the existing political system without a better system ready to go, I think that dual power sounds like a great idea!

My favorite is Time Surfer. The core mechanic is basically the same as Tiny Wings, but the theme, artwork, levels, etc are all very different. I especially enjoy the chiptunes!

Are there other relevant standards? The XDG base directory specification has been around for a long time, and is well established.

Maybe your comment wooshed over my head; if so I apologize.

Are you saying that you don't want to write your software according to the XDG spec, or that you don't want to set the XDG env vars on your system? If it's the second that's fine - apps using XDG work just fine if you ignore it. If it's the first I'd suggest reconsidering because XDG can make things much easier for users of your software who have system setups or preferences that are different from yours; and using XDG doesn't cause problems for users who ignore it.

OP's recommendation is aimed mostly at software authors.

So yes, "XDG" stands for "Cross-Desktop Group" - but I don't agree that using the spec assumes a windowing system. The base directory spec involves checking for certain environment variables for guidance on where to put files, and falling back to certain defaults if those variables are not set. It works fine on headless systems, and on systems that are not XDG-aware (I suppose that means systems that don't set the relevant env vars).

OTOH as another commenter pointed out the base directory spec can make software work when it otherwise wouldn't on a system that doesn't have a typical home directory layout or permissions.

Oh, good point

The picture looks like an Indian Runner duck to me
