I have the same model waiting to be built and went down this rabbit hole. Part of the problem is that the British tank museum read some descriptions of people who operated in or around the tanks and they all said something like "duck egg blue" or "sky blue". So when it came to paint their preserved Matilda tank they painted it with a best-guess shade that people later argued wasn't correct, but because it was in a museum it must have been right and it's been replicated on models and depictions ever since.

If you can separate the artist's power and wealth from the art, this works, typically when they've been dead for a while. Otherwise you're just feeding them. Rowling herself has used the money to actively fight trans people's rights in court and used her influence to give her actions public backing.

Yes it's indirect, but remember that Microsoft is one of their biggest competitors. This isn't about seeing absolute profit from every change, it's about improving linux as a platform to make it more viable for consumers, which will make it more viable for developers, which pushes more people to Steam and SteamOS as their first Linux distro and first destination for games. By making the platform perform extremely well on older/cheaper hardware they also create a market for other businesses to create hardware (Legion Go for example) which will increase the PC market and increase the number of people using steam since it's the defacto monopoly. Yes, they won't necessarily get every penny from every sale of hardware or even games since other game stores exist, but they will get a huge percentage from the majority of people in the PC market.

Only because I otherwise prefer KDE, nothing against GNOME, it's just preference.

I would always use KDE on a desktop/laptop, but as soon as I have touch hardware (eg an old surface laptop), GNOME does win unfortunately.

Glad it's there for people who need it. I've been fine with branching and stashing for 10+ years and my working directories have never been so dirty that I needed an entirely new copy of the project to do a hotfix.

I don't provision any two devices exactly the same way, and if I did there's nothing stopping that provisioning script/tool from changing or becoming out of date over time since I'd only run it once every couple of years. I briefly looked at nixos but as another reply said, the major hurdle was the documentation and trying to get "the right way" to do things. I remember flakes being mentioned but being experimental and there being two other things competing as the solution to the same problem and at that point I lost interest. I moved to fedora for the first time in a decade recently and installed what I needed via dnf. It wasn't a difficult enough process to justify learning another programming language.

Yup it's on the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo

Oh look it's chrome!

Ugh I don't know why but this was the one that got me. Just no.

It's up to you. You're allowed to read/play/watch whatever you want, don't let us internet weirdos (who might not even be real people) dissuade you. My wife loves harry potter but hates Rowling's politics. That's ok. You don't have to justify your actions to anyone, least of all internet strangers! If you want a justification to play the game, as others have said, she's already made her money from the game and won't make more directly from you playing it, so she doesn't benefit. Also, by a few accounts I've heard it's a pretty mediocre game, so don't feel like you're missing out if you decide not to!

I think my limiting factor is TPM 2.0 which I believe isn't supported by the device but is required by windows 11
