You can install an application like Flatseal (https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal) to inspect the permissions for a flatpak.
How locked down a flatpak is depends entirely on the developer and what permissions they request. By default, they can't really see much. For example, they can't even see the processes running on your host or your user and system files.
Flatpak does not do anything about network access though, it can only do no access or full access, no in between. The data they can collect on Linux in a Flatpak is very limited but it does not prevent them from calling home.
Steam does as well.
I found out recently that KDE has a "Focus stealing prevention" in their settings and it has been glorious.
Bazzite has a guide on how to format and mount drives: https://docs.bazzite.gg/Advanced/Auto-Mounting_Secondary_Drives/
Let me know if there's something specific you need.
They went pretty fast with performance improvements after launch and the first major update. There was a larger gap with the last update because they bought their publishing rights back and had to wait for all the legal stuff to settle.
So far they had one large update which added end-game content and another large update with a major balancing overhaul, which also reset character progress.
HLTB currently sets the game at 12.5 hours for the main story and 24 hours for main + side quests.
I'm planning to play it once co-op releases, the game seems to be in a good state and has enough content for me.
Maybe Games on Whales is for you? https://games-on-whales.github.io/
Besides modifying the file, mpv can also automatically crop the videos with their autocrop script while playing: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/TOOLS/lua/autocrop.lua
I use it for playing 21:9 content inside a 16:9 video file on a 21:9 screen.

I see you don't only want people to feel old but also experience existential crisis.
Yep, old ChatGPT was much more blunt and factual.
Don't really like the recent trend of every LLM talking to me like I'm in kindergarten.
You don't have to re-add the game but I think you have to start Heroic itself from time to time to check for updates.
Back feeding is legal here if it is connected to a micro inverter which can turn off immediately when disconnected and never outputs more than 800W.
ChatGPT won't humiliate you for asking a question that someone else has already asked.
I don't know, being told what a good question that was and what a good boy I am everytime I ask a stupid question feels pretty humiliating.
(Still better than SO)
Heroic also has a handy "Add to Steam" shortcut for each game:
What GPU are we talking about?
Your kernel is defaulting to the radeon driver instead of amdgpu, depending on which generation your GPU belongs to, you can force the kernel to use amdgpu instead. It's considered unsupported but you're still going to be much better off running the much newer amdgpu, if your hardware is still capable of using it.
Balcony solar panels are dirt cheap, you can get them for 200-300€, including the micro inverter. You usually do not have batteries in these setups, you just use up the generated power while it is available by moving things like the dishwasher and dryer to that time.
To give some actual numbers, I pay 0.22€ per kWh right now. In the last 30 days (Apr 21 - May 20) the balcony solar panels generated 74.11kWh. The month was fairly average with an even mixture of sunny days and rainy days.
Assuming you can use up the 800W of peak power, you will have saved around 16€ in just those 30 days. I don't have full data for the year yet since I only got mine a few months back but my current estimation is that it will have paid for itself after 2-4 years.
The biggest advantage of balcony-mounted solar panels, at least where I live, is that you need 0 permits. You don't need to ask your neighbors, you don't need to ask your power company, you don't need a building permit, you don't need an electrician and you don't need a solar company to install them for you.
They don't replace large solar farms but if you incentivize people to DIY their solar installation you get tons of additional cheap and clean energy from a source that would be wasted otherwise.
I “vibe code” anything that is throwaway.
Same here. It's surprisingly easy to get quick results with a few prompts for one-time scripts without putting any effort in.
Why not run the image registry on the Raspberry Pi itself? Then you can do your builds on your regular machine and push them to your Raspberry Pi when done.
Doom 2016 launched with a 44k player peak on Steam, Doom Eternal with a 100k peak and Doom: The Dark Ages only got a 30k peak.
Either most people play on Game Pass, think the game is too expensive, don't have raytracing compatible hardware or don't like Denuvo.
Whatever it is, the game doesn't seem to be doing so great.
If Doom Eternal is a rhythm game, what does that make Metal: Hellsinger aka "Doom but as a rhythm game"?

(really great game btw)
