Cool!
Well first of all these games were never listed on GoG.
Secondly, they can't (legally) do anything about a publisher refusing to sell games anymore. That's their IP and they have the legal right to make that decision.
What they can do is ensure games that you've already purchased continue to work in the future.
Define "fine". Is it playable? Sure. But it also looks quite bad at 800p/low/30fps
it's not well equipped to handle user packages in the same way OSTree is
Can you elaborate?
Not really anything they can do.
Pretty much the same titles over and over again.
I'll never not be shocked at BG3 because it runs potato quality but to each their own, I suppose.
The best software doesn't need to be trusted because it's open source and self-hosted.
I haven't looked into this in a while but I believe the current Beeper app only allows you to use Beeper servers, and is not open source, so for that reason, I say no.
The previous "Beeper Cloud" was open source and you could theoretically self host it and run it on your own server. Probably still can.
I stopped using it for a completely different reason:
Its intended to do something that the services it uses DO NOT want you doing. For that reason, they make it intentionally difficult to do. Apple demonstrated this really well when they predictably "patched" the iMessage loophole PyPush found. You'll be logged out constantly, there are constant bugs caused by server-side changes, and your accounts will be flagged for "automated activity".
Any convenience it's supposed to give you is just negated by these complications.
Also it was acquired by Automattic a while back, which is, on it's own, a great reason to avoid it.

Of course it does. Everything that's not an iPhone does.

Doubt. Pixels have had the best photos for several years.
They're functionally indifferent, for purposes of this conversation.
You can use it for absolutely anything. That's the beauty of Linux. Will it be good for it, as is? No, not really.
A lot of streaming services will limit you to 720p unless you use their first-party apps, which they don't make for Linux.
Also the interface is not ideal for that sort of thing.
Leaving it plugged in permanently is not really good for the battery, but not a huge deal either. There's probably some way to enable a "kiosk mode" to keep the battery @ 50%, which would be ideal.
If I know the name of the package/application
How do you know it?
There is a package manager for Windows
Yes, that's what I said.
WinGet I believe
LOL it's just called Microsoft store, my dude.

The process for installation is more or less the same for all of them.
Linux Mint and PopOS are the "go to" suggestions. I really don't like the way either of them look. I'm partial to GNOME for aesthetics and ease of use.
Bazzite comes with most of the stuff you will want pre-loaded, and also the cool Steam Deck Gamescope interface. It's the only one I've used with seamless background updates like you might be accustomed to on Android or iOS. That's my recommendation.
