I know it's difficult, but I'd like for a terminal to have copy-paste work correctly, even over SSH. Most of my shell config fiddling has been trying to get copy-paste working through tmux+emacs+ssh in a way that doesn't require xsel.
Other than that, one thing I'm missing from Alacritty is tabs. I know I can/should use tmux, but oftentimes I've launched a long-running command and then realized I want to do something else in another terminal.
Thing is, unlike other vendor lockins, it's on GOG and Epic for not providing a launcher. It's super easy to install alternate launchers on the Steam Deck, it's just Epic and GOG haven't released official ones yet...
The question is, what applications would run in ReactOS that wouldn't run through Proton/Wine? Some applications require relatively obscure userspace quirks and tricks, in which case it doesn't matter if they're running through Linux+Wine or ReactOS+Wine if Wine doesn't implement them.
Other than that, the rootkit anticheat that makes so many games not run on Linux are written by companies that have a near hostility towards Linux and open computing in general. If some version of their anticheat happened to work in ReactOS, they'd patch that out super fast. Same with DRM stuff.
Linux and Windows are, I think, too different conceptually to copy things from one to another. And I'm not sure what Linux-compatible innovation that ReactOS would have that hasn't already been thought of. Performance of the Windows kernel is, at best, average.
Even disregarding the native Linux port... The Steam client is actually pretty decent. Any client would have to implement things like library navigation, storage management, Steam input support, the overlay, cloud sync and so on. And honestly, I don't think anyone can reach the amount of features that Steam has.
Its probably why most people don't actually use things like Lutris or Gnome Games to launch Steam games.
It's actually harder to detect that. The * is expanded before the arguments are sent to rm, so it just sees a list of directories like /bin /usr /dev /sbin /home and so on.
You could implement logic to detect that case, but at that point you're just playing whackamole.
Almost universally, any time there's a power vacuum (whether in the first larger-than-tribes societies, or in societies where state power has become weak), the first authority figures that fill the power vacuum are dicks

wielding real power, in ways that feel quite uncomfortable.
Yes, it's called feeling guilty about others calling out your attitude. Most people who aren't power seeking assholes experience that feeling regularly and have learned to deal with it.
Couples therapists say they can tell within a few minutes if a couple is worth working with or not: if it's anger they're displaying, then that's something that can be worked through. If it's dismissiveness, all hope is lost.
Imagine getting told by a couples therapist that they can't see your relationship working out... And then you go on a big rant saying how you should still be together?
Flatpak creates a "fake" home directory as part of its sandboxing. So what firefox sees as /home/mario is actually /home/mario/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/. At least on Mint, might be different in debian?
As I understand it, the problem that both Nix and Docker try to solve is "How do I bundle and run this application in such a way that its dependencies are explicitly specified and don't interfere with anything installed on the host system".
They have different approaches, but I think that goal is the same?

Closed source is more secure because the viruses can't see where to get in.
