To choose your distro you must first decide whether you want a a stable distribution (debian) or a bleeding edge one (arch). Then you have to decide whether you want it to be a rolling release (tumbleweed) or a fixed point release distribution (fedora).
There's a lot more that could be said about each of these distros, but they all have KDE sessions.
This would kill the fun for everyone but the best. SBMM is there to protect casuals and new players, aka 90% of players.
Firefox's reader view (ctrl alt r) is a godsend for cases like these.
The nvidia support is getting better, but yeah they're years late compared to AMD which basically has better drivers on linux than windows.
Sure, as long as you run a wayland capable DE. Like GNOME or KDE. It's still experimental in linux mint afaik. You might have a few problems if you have an NVIDIA card (no proper wayland support) or HDMI cables (limited to 144 fps because of copyright issues iirc).
Pretty sure I've heard users from these regions mention that they had their shops completely unavailable in certain games
Those were local measures that were not handled by the European Union.
If you look at how the EU is handling the Digital Markets Act - it's gonna be fines.
The gaming industry is gonna fight this every step of the way. There's gonna be lobbying, kicking and screaming; and no it's certainly not as simple as "follow the rules or get banned". First off because you can't just ban games by flicking your fingers, there's thousands of games and dozens of distributing platforms. Secondly because the goal isn't to remove them from the market but to get them to play ball.
I guess guidelines are a decent start, the part that's gonna be tricky is getting the gaming industry to follow them.
The fine is up to 10% of their global annual sales. Not even profits, sales. We'll see if the EU is willing to follow through on their threats.
You can update fedora through the terminal which skips the reboot part.
