For DF: The free version had a Linux build for a long time. The paid version adds new graphics, and it took a while for that to get a Linux release.

For Minecraft: you should be able to play without an account if you're single player and using a third party launcher. I almost exclusively play with friends.

Yea, I've looked into how it works to see if I could add it to an existing app, but ran into a wall I can't recall right now.

The local stops would be good, but what I really need is the ability to figure out new routes, like visiting a friend.

I did give it a knee-jerk reaction, true. I've since had my morning tea and am mostly just wondering what you get out of yelling at people on the internet. Not that I don't occasionally do the same. Maybe I'm asking you to better understand myself.

Anyone using a work or school Chromebook is, actually.

It had a leak a few years back. Not a huge one, but it'd add up on devices that had a ton of tabs or were always on.

Ah I see. Those do seem like issues it could improve. Hope whatever you decide works out well for you.

Not at all. I use a tiling WM, and most of my time is spent in text editors or a browser. I just like having everything visible and spaced out automatically for me.

I think tiling WMs just have a lot of overlap with the terminal-heavy crowd. They tend to require some manual set up, and they tend to be very keyboard shortcut heavy. Both things also popular with people that tend to like using terminals.

Also keep in mind most screenshots advertising someone's set up are to show off, not their regular workflow. It's like looking at someone's professional head-shots and wondering if they usually dress like that.

Not sure if any exist. Recharging by pedal would require adding resistance to the pedaling. The added resistance is fine in a car because they're so heavy and fast that it's barely noticeable downhill. But it'd be very noticeable to someone on a bike.

When you say "safer" can you elaborate on in what sense you mean?

Oh,my info is old then! Exciting

Are XMPP or Matrix really any more seachable? I'm all in on FOSS, clearly, but do they fix that complaint? I feel like the real solution is separating chat and longer term info, and putting the longer term info on a wiki or other public and indexable format.
