The short answer is in many cases it's just not worth it. Maintaining a Linux build is not free and the possible market share gain is fairly minimal. Add to that the possibility you get it for free through proton and your reasons for investing the dev effort shrink.

I've heard an argument for maintaining Linux builds because Linux users will provide better bug reports but that mindset is unlikely to ever survive in a big studio

The more full reason is that the device is still encrypted prior to first unlock and is harder to extract any information from. As to what you said about police requiring you to enter your PIN, they can't. You can't be forced to reveal your passwords/PINs but they can legally force you to unlock biometrics (fingerprint/face ID)

I'd be curious to see a citation because everything I can find suggests it's still obstruction of correspondence and a federal offense as they were not the intended recipient

Counter point: it's a studio who made a groundbreaking open world series (jak and daxter) who only later became known for linear games returning to their roots

Onyx boox runs android. You could probably root it, but I've never looked into it

I would say the original Zelda isn't, but link to the past definitely holds up. Honestly most of the 2d Zelda's from link to the past onwards are good

Kernel live patch, security updates for packages that canonical doesn't own/maintain, and access to certain configurations/options like fips

These python programmers are literally maintainers of the language. They're not a dime a dozen. Not saying it's impossible or anything but you're looking to get very high caliber engineers for under 140k

-d is required if you're on an lts until .1. If you're on mantic you should be able to upgrade without it

Fwiw you don't need to cancel or trial anything. Everyone can get free Ubuntu pro licensesbfor up to 5 machines

I see a lot of these. In most cases, they're an auto-fail.

They did. I believe comments now count as activity where only posts did before?
