It's not even coffee. It's artificial sweeteners with a bit of sugar and some more sweeteners.
Something that isn't Windows or MacOS. The BSDs for example 😉
You don't give your house keys to your home security system provider. Giving kernel access to anything, even if it's for your own good, is dumb. People don't understand the risks that come with it. People just think what the companies tell them to think. As a matter of fact, there are still cheaters in valorant. Vanguard isn't perfect, it can still be bypassed. VAC works fine for what it is, and it could still be refined. It bans more people monthly than Vanguard.
The biggest reason for kernel level anticheats is your sweet sweet data and more control of your computer. You don't need them. We have been playing online games since the 90s, and none used kernel anticheats. It was never necessary to sell your computer to Tencent in order to play a game which, again, still has cheaters.
CocaCola did what?? Why didn't I know that? Guess I'm a pepsi guy now, wow.
Depends on the system, but normally, the OS provides a way to encrypt a file using the user credentials. It's completely seamless while the user is logged in and using the computer. It's true that any program running with the user privileges and within its session can open the file, but once the user logs out it's unreadable.
I don't know about the framework laptop, but about the Minecraft question:
Yes, you can absolutely run Minecraft on Linux. It runs on top of Java, so it doesn't really see the difference between the 2 OS. In fact, I've found that Minecraft runs faster for me on Linux than on Windows. The only thing that might not work is the official launcher, but that can be easily replaced (with the added benefit of improved functionality). I can recommend Prism Launcher, but really anything works.
About Bedrock, that's a different story. Microsoft revamped the PC port of Bedrock, and now calls it "Minecraft for Windows". It's fully compiled, and it won't run natively on Linux. However, I still believe it can be made to work with some Wine trickery.
Discord customer service is abysmal. I've had to contact them twice, and twice I have been ignored. They answer 10 times with the same AI generated response: "Have you tried turning it off and on again? Have you tried logging off and on again? Have you tried resetting your password?" I tell them I have tried everything, and they still answer with the same response, just paraphrased a bit differently.

Wayland, Texas. According to wikipedia it had a population of 100 people in the year 2000. AFAIK it's a ghost town now.
I know that town because I once read a "fun fact" about the Wayland Protocol that said its name was chosen for being the name of an actual town, which (supposedly) cannot be copyrighted.
the fact that you have to go to other years proves that this happens way more rarely in France than in the USA. In fact, you can see that in all of the graphs there are gun related deaths in every country.
The point is that it happens 100 times more in the USA than in any other developed country
you can't really hot swap the kernel, because all of the system runs on it.
you'd need to stop the system (you can save its state and recover where you left), reboot to load the new kernel and let it take control.
however, there are some distros and programs that allow you to hot swap certain parts of the kernel (mainly drivers) without rebooting. Note that, even though the system doesn't reboot, most packages still need to be restarted for them to pick up the new driver.
The world is gonna roll me
