And now I realize it must have been dreadful, at first.

That's basically sleep paralysis.

This would only serve to advertise their ips, just look at Overwatch. If you really want to fuck with a corporation, the best way is to forget about them.

If you're addicted to a game, your phone battery is the least of your problems.

Dxvk is usually better, but using vulkan is the better strategic move, you'll increase their vulkan stats and provide QA. Good native vulkan support will beat dxvk every time.

Linux only just hit 2% market share

That's steam players, linux on desktop is estimated at 4%, and 6% if you count chromeos.

poorly written code and tight code

This is where you guys lose me, it's just code that not optimized for size and that's because most people don't give a shit about that. People want want their 4k assets, their localization, their accessibility features, their application to run on any device... All this comes at a cost. You want to change things, that's fine, but start by understanding why things are the way they are because shitting on developers won't get you anywhere.

The problem about being active, is that the moment you stop you'll put the weight right back on. Most people don't take up going to the gym for decades, it'll last a few months, maybe a few years. Long term weight management needs to be about food intake.

Supposedly Windows can mess with the linux bootloader if it's on the same drive, i never had it happen back when i still dual booted. Reinstalling the bootloader isn't too hard though if it ever does happen.

Literally never heard of it before. Please don't recommend tiny distributions to new users, they're a pain to debug due to the lack of information, and they typically have much less support.

In fps games ? Absolutely. By adding a limit you're telling your player to use it, or lose it. Gotta protect players from themselves. Unfortunately it's hard to apply to some types of games, like crpgs which are notoriously bad at giving random shit that you might one day need.

Familiarity breeds contempt, give it some time and I'm sure cosmic will have its share of haters too. There's hundreds of gnome devs, and all you're seeing are clickbait blogposts like these made to stir up the pot. Go check out the discussions on discourse, matrix, or even gitlab to see what they're actually like.

You can disable the screensaver and auto-suspend just fine in the settings, caffeine lets you toggle it from the panel, I'd hardly call that a must have, if anything it'd annoy most users who prefer a clean panel.

I prefer the gnome approach of having a functioning basic DE where you can optionally install extensions that you want.
