Disconnecting the internet no longer works, you'll need to open a shell and put in a cryptic command to disable the check or use an email address which got banned
there are AUR listings which are more prone to break by "design"
in particular any custom kernel or out of tree kernel modules (like Nvidia driver)
the arch linux maintainer keep these in sync so a normal user wouldn't notice any issue (i.e. linux kernel and nvidia driver are rebuilt in tandem) but by using AUR packages you are now in charge of package maintenance
on linux it is probably easier to setup podman nowadays with Podman Desktop and being easily available in most repositories while Docker never released their Desktop app on Linux
on anything else Docker is the least path of resistence currently but who knows if they fuck up again in the future
Windows will display a "Let's connect you to a network" or similar screen. The upcoming Windows 11 version 22H2 does not allow you to skip this anymore to create a local account.
While this is true the linux kernel + Mesa package versions needs to be new enough in your distro too
this is the case for Ubuntu 22.04.02 and Ubuntu 23.04 but not for the older but still supported Ubuntu 20.04.04
btrfs is included in the linux kernel, zfs is not on most distros
the tiny chance that an externel kernel module borking with a kernel upgrade happens sometimes and is probably scary enough for a lot of people
Bitlocker is only redumentary included in the cheaper Windows "Home" versions
only the "Pro" version actually includes proper Bitlocker tools which is frankly a pretty stupid move
yea also custom domain with catch-all + custom rules on mailbox.org is hilariously powerful and allow you to use an own email address + its own folder for every website without actually creating any alias beforehand
I also have a hard time understanding how 2,5€ a month is to expensive for someone who most likely owns Apple devices since iCloud is really awful to use without at least one Apple device
there is an alternative client for epic games called heroic launcher
