FWIW I boot Bazzite in desktop mode with two 27" displays and have been very happy. Mixed use, not nearly as much gaming as it's really intended for most of the time, and occasionally patchy experience but (un-)usually great. So many quality of life little doodads.
For instance, the screens brighten and dim effortlessly with my scroll wheel on a widget in the taskbar, just by default. Discovered it by accident lol, what else don't I know?!
It's excellent. Folks should use it.
Just wanna say, great job on the feedback reception. Critically important (and often hard!!) skill, to get the value while leaving the ego-hit. If you handle criticism this well as a non-fulltime-dev, on a project you care about and that you have solo'ed - I have a feeling you have a lot of dev potential.
Nah, this seems like a big deal. Not necessarily "imminent doom for Twitter" big, but still. Social media platforms live and die on network effects, and none (that I'm aware of) has ever successfully "forced" their own viability without having naturally strong network effects.
Network effects work in favor of signups and engagement of course, but they work on the downswing too, they can accelerate abandonment and replacement.

Yes, this one has tasted blood before. You can tell by the way that it is.
What do you do instead for dynamic values that are needed at runtime and inappropriate to check in to version control?
Sorry about the narrow urethra, Hank.
Utterly tone deaf, some of these guys, it's amazing. Had a new CEO open a meeting shortly after he started with a story about visiting an apiary (bee farm) with his family. His unironic takeaway which he shared with us, somehow missing the poignant relevance of what he was saying - "It turns out the drones just don't do very much".
It was like he intended an ice breaker with a personal anecdote, and it started out fine, but he couldn't help but just tell literally all of us how he really feels. Amazing.
