I don’t think they really existed yet in his era

In 1294-1621 the election of the Pope used Approval voting. Venice also used it.

Australia, a much younger country, invented the secret ballot

The election of the Pope required secret ballot since 1621. And the concept existed since Ancient Greece and was used in elections and courts of Roman Republic.

That’s an interesting point of view.

14 hours of lifetime on Macbook while also being silent is great.

You can boot straight into snapshot, may be useful if an update went wrong or you don’t like new kde.

You can change drives and raid configuration online. For example I bought a laptop that had windows preinstalled, so I used the second half of the disk space for linux, then I figured I don’t need windows so I formatted windows partition to btrfs, added it as a new device, moved all the data there, deleted the old linux partition and extended the new one to the whole drive, all that easy and without reboot.

I’d be looking into setting up ZFS on root for my next machine

I too was on the path of adventure once but then the kernel module hasn’t been built after the upgrade. Also btrfs offers some nice features for root especially that zfs doesn’t have.

No, you can for the games that don’t have drm, just launch the executable. Steam itself doesn’t require any drm. Even the games that use Steam services can be drm-free. Here’s the list of some drm-free Steam games

Gog have been doing DRM free games for a while

As far as I know GOG also sells drm content and Steam also sells drm-free content. So what’s the point

they’ll be quite keen to fill this niche

I also don’t remember them doing anything for Linux apart from releasing a broken port then badmouthing people who complained that the game they bought is broken.
