I had this problem the first time using it, but once I learned about how to use homebrew with it (included by default now, by the way!) and distrobox with universal installer, I got a lot more comfortable with it!

    Not that it absolves them of their bullshit, but you can set their router to bridge mode and use your own. It still removes the bandwidth limit.

    It is a PITA to set up bridging though, thanks to their fuckery with the software. Fuck comcast

    I had the hardest time getting used to the dev stuff with bazzite, do you just use distrobox for installing foss apps and then rpm-ostree for dev dependencies? I heard you can use rpm from inside distrobox (or apt, pacman, etc depending on the container) but wasn't ever sure how to expose that installed executable outside of distrobox

    Afaik, it is just pre customized to be usable for windows users. Goal is no terminal required for the average user that just needs a browser and maybe does basic unmodded gaming. Good for parents and siblings who are getting fed up with windows.

    The paid bits are extra support, more preconfigured layouts and some apps that people new to linux may not realize exist (for stuff like school IT systems changing to linux, or a vfx company changing away from windows b/c they are worried about ai stealing their art).

    This is very interesting in that it also collects water. I have been following a scientist's series as he has been researching infrared cooling paint that has gotten similar, if not better results in terms of cooling: https://youtu.be/KDRnEm-B3AI, along with hydrophobic coatings for other purposes.

    It is a great idea to combine those two things and look into how much water a fully painted roof can provide though, so I'll look into passing this paper along to him.
