You can still uninstall, or you can clear the data.

And in both cases the user data is gone. I'd call that the worst case.

There's a setting to disable it, but it's unfortunately hidden under "Expert mode."

Downgrading can be dangerous, since app data meant for a newer version of an app can crash an older version that doesn't know what to do with it. This doesn't really feel like enshittification, just saving users from themselves by removing the danger button. It's not like F-Droid is forcing everyone to use the newest version... old versions are still on the website, and they still let you easily grab an old version in-app if you're doing a fresh install.

I'm thinking about finally starting Okami. I've only bought it, uh, twice over the last 15 years! Any advice on which version to actually invest my time in, Switch or Wii? Reviews seem to prefer the HD remaster and tout the improved visuals, but many also emphasize the touchscreen support (whereas if I go with the Switch version I'd likely be playing it docked). But my Wii still runs like a champ, and I would like to spend more time using it…

Cool, we'll take it.

Let's do "poopy."

This may depend on browser but you can double-tap a paragraph to quickly zoom the page so the text is full-width. Of course there's also pinch-zoom or reader mode...

I understood all that from your post. I'm just saying that if the distros end up being as inflexible as you've described, you may need to look for a way to get flexibility at a different level of the "stack."

You can add and launch arbitrary non-Steam games from Steam, right? Can you use Steam to launch a script that moves around files in the background and relaunches Steam? And have a named launcher to "switch" to each user?

I don't know anything about those distros, but if there isn't a good way to do it here's a shitty one: maintain a separate OS partition/installation for each person and have the "login screen" be the bootloader menu.
