Can I ignore flatpak indefinitely?
Sure, at least until software you want to use is flatpak only, e.g. Bottles
The whole thing is weird and the CEO especially so, and not weird in a good way: https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html
Gosh darn it I only just onboarded to Omnivore a few months ago Now I guess I need to find a new place to store bookmarks
One example I can think of is Widevine DRM, which is owned by Google and is closed source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widevine
Google currently allows Mozilla (and others) to distribute this within Firefox, allowing Netflix, Disney+, and various other video streaming services to work within Firefox without any technical work performed by the user
I don’t believe Google would ever willingly take this away from Mozilla, but it’s entirely possible that the movie and music industries pressure Google to reduce access to Widevine (the same way they pressured Netflix into adopting DRM)
Might be worth trying a bunch of different live USBs to find a distribution with a working sound setup, and then seeing what it’s doing differently compared to Zorin
Yeah, that’s going beyond the software and making the physical supply chain possible to validate by a sufficiently equipped and educated consumer
The trade off here is that it’s very difficult to produce verifiable circuitry that is also fast
