Mainly the locked bootloader that GrapheneOS offers. It's more secure, and GrapheneOS emphasizes security over all else, but privacy features are part of that security.

You directly compared owning, customizing, and shooting a gun to the way a child would develop the ability to play a musical instrument. On this article about a 14 year old child being gifted a gun.

In the context of child development though? Nah lol. This is a very unserious argument.

The Xbox 360 controller wireless adpater was a pretty big piece of shit 70% of the time.

Look guys, you don't need to justify your piracy. There is nothing ethically wrong with pirating media.

Anticonsumer practices are justification enough. If someone has a childish response of "uR sTeaLiNg!!", give them an equally childish retort and tell them to eat your farts.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans are left to die in the streets every day right now, what's your point?

Windows 10 when I made the switch last summer. A full year now on EndeavorOS and I'll never go back.

Rimworld would be my top suggestion, as others have noted.

I picked up Old World (excellent native Linux support BTW) during this summer sale and have not been able to put it down. If you're a fan of Civilization style strategy games I'd highly recommend checking it out. I haven't really enjoyed a Civ game since Civ 4, and Old World feels very similar but fresher and with less jank. it's got a Crusader Kings style dynasty system with randomized events that adds a layer of role playing your leader and securing their dynasty through heirs you can train/influence.

As for the repeatability, Old World has tons. Each culture plays significantly differently, and each leader has different bonuses that encourage an interesting style of play. Games don't play the same because of the mentioned event system, but also because learning new technologies is "randomized" as well. New techs are researched based off a selection of 4 drawn tech cards once you finish a previous technology. The card system makes it so you can't just rush straight to archers and dominate the early game to snowball into a power house every game, but its not truly random so you can "game" the system in your favor to get the techs you want with the tools the game gives you through either unique leader powers, or specific governor roles for example.

The game is super deep while not being off puttingly complex.
