I'm happy with my Samsung S90C (oled). I didn't find any non-smart-tv options that I liked after my 18 year old Samsung TV died, and after using a PC monitor and PC speakers for a few weeks while researching options, I settled on this one, which was on my shortlist and on sale at a nearby bricks'n'mortar store.
Even in a well lit room, I'm very happy with it. I also use the apps to stream content, so one less box is needed. Let's hope it lasts 18+ years too.
Deemix is a good way to build up your local cache from Deezer, at which point you can serve it locally.
It will mess with artist renumeration though (which seems important to you), so you might want to find another way to compensate your favourite artists.
Regions give manual tiling possibility though, which is actually how I prefer it. I'm testing a new patch that someone recently did to support focus based on region, which is nifty.
labwc is working pretty well these days. Screen tearing for games and all.
There are a bunch of environment variables that I set this time though, which may have contributed to a better experience this time.
English aint Lojban, if you know what I mean.
Many competitive FPS games also fit this category. Play a round for 15 minutes or a few in an hour, get back to life. Games with grind are less attractive - we know it's all just wasting time.
You need training material for negative prompts too.
If I were a new user, I'd consider using such a tool. I guess I'll see myself out. ;-)
That indeed changes things, potentially introducing much more bias. What motivation would somebody have to install this tool and run it? Is it being marketed/advertised somehow? How, where, and to whom? :-P
People who voluntarily report usage are more likely to be new users, experimenting with Linux distributions etc. Greybeards like me will check out new stuff every few months or years, and won't shout about it one way or another. We'll probably not send statistics when prompted, either.
Skynet sounds friendly. It needs a friendly looking logo.
It is pretty easy to imagine separate streams of updates that affect each other negatively.
CrowdStrike does its own 0-day updates, Microsoft does its own 0-day updates. There is probably limited if any testing at that critical intersection.
If Microsoft 100% controlled the release stream, otoh, there'd be a much better chance to have caught it. The responsibility would probably lie with MS in such a case.
(edit: not saying that this is what happened, hence the conditionals)
