Uh, are you trying to remote debug CUPS now? Thumbs up! Doing the goddess’ work! ^(Good luck, mate! Hope your username’s not going to be the program here XD)

As it’s a Linux machine, it uses CUPS/IPP (and some other things like hplip) for managing printers. Totally, uuh, works™ with almost every printer out of the box.

^(Most of the time, when used correctly. No warranty. Black cat and cauldron downloadable separately. Use a compatible printer. Post may contain sarcasm, irony and decades of frustration with printer manufacturers.)

Try writing documentation or source code on an onscreen keyboard… Even for longer emails or chats, i’d prefer a mechanical keyboard. No, also not chiclet/island keyboards.

But, these days, there are very good and small mechanical keyboards available, for the superior (to almost all modern notebooks) typing experience.

This. Most modern anti-cheat mechanisms are equal to spyware that has way too many privileges on operating systems that support this kind of intrusive behaviour.

You’ll never shove that down (even unsuspecting) Linux distributions. It would jeopardize the whole user base. Now considering that some of these get used on servers, as well… the thought alone is outright unspeakable.

I’d immediately stop caring for security, when that happens, because the task would become nearly impossible.

I’m not sure about the necessity of game containers, though. I run NixOS here, which demonstrates that this is absolutely not necessary. But even just Proton demonstrates that quite well - at least for Windows™ things, imho…

Yet, some people (even Valve’s HoloOS) do like flatpacks and appimages etc., and i too have a few podman containers running. I’m not returning to building my own docker images, though, since this is accomplished so much nicer (and reproducible!) with nix.
