It's arch...
Yeah but its downside right now is that it doesn't really support latest tech, since it is not based on latest Linux. Wish they would change that because I seriously consider SteamOS for my next gaming PC.

That must be on MacOS programmers. See WOW64.
I heard they are irrelevant for Proton as it has its own fsync.
So it's actually the whole cause of the issue? If Valve shifts to 64bit then there would be no issue? Or is there a limitation that would then prevent 32bit games from working?
And what if Valve starts releasing 64bit version?
Hey that's me there, and I say do Valve too. They are special but that kind of public discussion through court won't hurt anyone.
That's too bad. It's only a matter of time until there will be less countries that fit that "free" criteria then. Or the criteria itself will again shift further down.
Panic button implementation should not require that much and it should work fine on any device.
GOS will not become a phone. Relying proprietary hardware to achieve security of your own product is not optimal.
If you want to install the Google store, you can. If you want to use f Droid, you can. If you want to install apps directly from GitHub from developers that you trust you can.
I know what you mean but it sounds like you're describing basically all of Android OS derivatives.
I don't see how realistically every requirement of GOS is really needed, given it is still very vulnerable to users' unawareness, stupidity and other easy exploits. It's like people advocating secure communication via Signal while participating in huge public groups. It's like you're building a house from the top - from the premise that the device is secure and therefore great for user. You prepare user for a rain and a storm, but the building will crumble due to an earthquake, or a fire started by the user. But what can you do? Earthquakes are inevitable and crush every other building, and users can't be educated properly, right? That's on top of relying on Google to provide materials and warranty for the house...
I'm not implying there are better ones. I mean that ways how "better" systems are being built, updated by developers, and how are they viewed by users, should make everyone question whether those are actually useful.
GOS lets you decide what apps to trust
But not what vendors to trust...
GOS is EXTREMELY clear about who their product is for
Clear... but apparently not loud enough because all I know is "for Google Pixel owners".
It's not like I even want to use GOS. I want to use something that cares about me as a user, more than the default experience with limited and forced aspects. It just happens that most people say Pixel is the best phone overall for now, and I can't ignore that.
My issue is that someone who say they do everything they can to harden your device and improve security, fail at simple things. Like blocking such traffic at the OS level for all untrusted apps, or allowing installing untrusted apps at all. It's like they can't decide who their product is for. And users thinking they are getting more protected just because they switched to another OS, as a result.
Making security measures irrelevant is easy for police officers, for app makers, and for users too.

SotN is great but I really liked GBA and NDS games more. They are less complex but also somehow make more sense overall, and are less frustrating for my taste. The only one I would say is safe to skip is Harmony of Dissonance.
