Pretty much… as long as you didn’t do any custom kernel stuff or driver blacklisting or any other underhood voodoo with the boot system.

In every case, Denuvo balloons the exe file size by 4-5x (we’re talking 400-500 MB for a <100 MB game exe), can increase loading times between 10-400%, and in most cases, lowers framerates between 10-40%, and can introduce microstutters. There are a few outliers where Denuvo’s removal coincides with worse framerates for some reason. But essentially, removing Denuvo speeds things up a lot, especially download size and loading times.
That only matters if there’s anything to optimize by source compilation. If the program doesn’t have optimization features in the source, it’s wated time and energy.
LCARS interface… that is something I haven’t seen in a loooooooong time
Ah, yes, Linux around the turn of the century. Let’s see…
GPU acceleration? In your dreams. Only some cards had drivers, and there were more than 2 GPU manufacturers back then, too… We had ATi, nVidia, 3dfx, Cirrus, Matrox, Via, Intel… and almost everyone held their driver source cards close to their chest.
Modems? Not if they were “winmodems”, which had no hardware controller, the CPU and the Windows driver (which was always super proprietary) did all the hard work.
Sound? AC’97 software audio was out of the question. See above. You had to find a sound blaster card if you wanted to get audio to work right.
So, you know how modern linux has software packages? Well, back then, we had Slackware, and it compiled everything gentoo style back then. In addition, everyone had a hardon for " compiling from source is better"… so your single core Pentium II had to take its time compiling on a UDMA66-connected hard drive, constrained with 32 or 64 MB RAM. Updating was an overnight procedure.
RedHat and Debian were godsends for people who didn’t want to waste their time compiling… which unfortinately was more common even so, because a lot of software was source only.
Oh, and then MP3 support was ripped out of RedHat in Version 9 iirc, the last version before they split it into RHEL and Fedora. RIP music.
As for Linux on a Mac, there was Yellowdog, which supported the PPC iMacs and such. It was decently good, but I had to write my own x11 monitor settings file (which I still have on a server somewhere, shockingly, I should throw it on github or somewhere) to get the screen to line up and work right.
Basically, be glad Linux has gone from the “spend a considerable amount of time and have programming / underhood linux knowledge to get it working” to “insert stick, install os, start using it” we have now.
Kids these days don’t know what it’s like to play Nintendo Hard games… at least you have an HP bar in this one… imagine dying in one hit from any attack.

TLDR: Nobody wants to spend 2 grand to live in a closet.
The foolish build their house upon the sand. And the storm came and the winds lashed against the house and the water lapped against its foundation, and the house fell; its collapse was very great.

Seems people are more stressed… maybe fix the stress problem and that would cut off a large portion of the rise.
Forza Horizon 5. Just got all I could for the Retrowave event. Couldn’t get the DeLorean or the F50, but I do have an extra F40 now and the GMC Syclone. Kinda missed some of the events due to working on other things.
Also the Hyundai N Vision 74 is a meh EV. No way to gear it for more top speed, and the Porsche Taycan is way better.
Considering Nord (and most VPNs, especially the ones that advertise themselves) are all owned by one company, who has a huge conflict of interest (they’re an ad company) with VPNs to begin with.
Blue light doesn’t damage the eyes unless there is a burning amount of it (or a burning amount of UV), but people with bad eye focus may find it more straining to read things in blue due to the greater light scatter of the color. The solution is wear your reading glasses, I guess.
What really strains the eyes is focusing on close up objects for hours on end. American eye doctors everywhere have the 30/30/30 rule (every 30 minutes, look at something 30ft away for 30 seconds) as a “let your eye muscles relax for a bit” exercise for those of you always working on something up close.
That said, night filters are good just to help with your circadian rhythm, since the brain looks for a persistent abundance of a particular chunk of blue wavelength to determine “daytime”.
Most of them are owned by one company. The only independent ones are Mullvad, Proton, and IVPN. For the most part, you want to Tor and never sign into anything if you are being ultra private about your browsing.
Normal people don’t spend all day stressing out over the decision to do one or the other.
