Why wait a few years and not avoid it completely? I doubt there's any reliable data that confirms a significant loss in sales if they launched without Denuvo and its ilk. DRM is at best useless and at worst "harms" customers.

Ooh, that makes sense. I'm not too familiar with key resellers, so I was just guessing. But you explanation makes more sense. Thank you
I guess pirates don't result in additional costs for the developer from dealing with support tickets or other forms of customer care 🤷
That's some beautiful color on that cabbage!
GPG is probably the most commonly used one. If you want something with a slightly less awkward command line interface, you could try sequoia-pgp.
Is the screenshot you posted from Ubuntu or Pop!_OS? Because partition 4 is a swap partition.
But I agree with mudeth, having a system partition and a dedicated /home one is a decent setup.
I regularly use OSM data through Organic Maps (mostly for larger European cities). The app is really polished and is a joy to use. So far I'm not missing any features from Google Maps.
I've also updated some faulty business hours for some restaurants so I guess I've contributed back.
E: With the recent developments in the world of free online services (YouTube blocking ad-blockers, Google lying to their customers about its TrueView ads, Twitter rate limiting free access, the Reddit API fiasco), I wonder how much longer we can take free services like Google Maps for granted. Having an open alternative may become even more important in the future.
I've been wondering for quite a while what the "Actions" entry in the Search settings does. I suppose this feature has been planned for some time now, but they just never bothered to implement it. No idea why the had that shortcut present though.
This is probably the most comprehensive, yet easily understandable explanation of NixOS I've ever read.
Thank you very much
From what I've heard from NixOS users, your intuition seems right. When you learn NixOS, you learn NixOS rather than Linux. The question is, what your goals are. If you want to get a job as a Linux sysadmin, you'd probably be better off using a more common distro. But if you just want to use Linux privately, dive into whatever seems most exciting to you or fulfills your needs the best.
I was not thinking about the business side but rather about what the customer gets out of it. What bothers me about DRM systems is that they cause problems that you don't have with pirated game, which is the opposite of how it should be. I don't want to struggle to get a game running, when the pirated version does not caus those problems. That being said, I haven't bought any large AAA title in years and my experience is from 7+ years ago. Maybe things have changed but I kinda doubt it.
