They generally have really great linux support for all of their hardware (touchpads, fingerprint readers, etc.), and provide bios updates via fwdup. They are also just nice laptops.

Showing free demos as their own line item in the store suggestions feels counterintuitive. As a user, I don't want this, it just clusters the interface. I want to see the main game and something on it indicating a demo is available.
As for developers, discoverability is something they are always talking (complaining) about. Artificially inflating the sheer number of competing games for visibility seems like an odd choice in that regard.
It does support bios updates. That's how I do mine on my laptop (a Lenovo).
Well, we can't have felons voting. They should only be allowed to run for president!
Hmm I haven't tried this. Thanks for the suggestion.
So, a dark pattern is a design that tries to trick the user into something. But what is the word for "knowing what the user wants, blatantly ignoring it and imposing the companies will anyway"?
Example: I think YouTube shorts are a terrible format, and I find them generally irritating. So I click the X on the element in YouTube that has a bunch of side scrolling cards, where each card is one of these shorts. YouTube informs me it will hide them for 30 days and then they'll be back.
Another example, Windows Update. I've set all the group policy settings so it should never restart and update without me triggering it. But, if I allow it to download the update, then damn my group policy settings, it is going to apply that update and restart whenever it wants.
This is making me realize that I have never encountered this equivalent of a blue screen of death on Linux.
Ah that makes much more sense. I think I crossed my wires. You mentioned backing up the Minecraft worlds and so I thought "deduplicated backups... so borg."
I appreciate your explanation.
This is a good workaround, but there is still a bug here. When this setting is unchecked, clicking a gif should make it play. But that functionality is no longer working.
Wow. Linux performance is better in Cyberpunk, even though it is running via proton. How does the article not mention that...?
