I’m just back to buying Blu rays. To me it’s the safer option, you legally own your product and you can host everything you want yourself still. MakeMKV is a great tool.

I’m onto fedora silverblue now since I like rpm-ostree. I’ve moved from laptop to desktop since then too, which could have colored my experience.

PopOS gaming was a shit show for me, steam wouldn’t work and installing non free drivers borked my system like it was Ubuntu 12.04. I honestly don’t have any idea what PopOS does that others don’t for gaming, steam/wine/lutris/bottles are distribution agnostic. I’ve only ever heard people say PopOS for gaming but never seen anything showing why it’s better.

Full disclosure this was a while ago and I’ve gone separate ways with Debian and derivatives for now.

Definitely not countries I want my private anything sourced out of right now lol

I appreciate the additional perspective, it’s tough to say if there are any good or bad guys here. The statements on IBMs role is a little self contradictory by saying they aren’t really involved but are also pressuring them with sales goals.

No matter what loss of consumer choice is depressing news, but it’s hard to disagree with RedHats right to make this decision.
