if you are aware of it and its solutions it surely is a non-issue but for me as a linux noob it was reason enough against fedora. getting into linux is already complicated enough without extra obstacles.

i found fedora hard to work with because of its hard “no non-open source” stand. e.g. i had trouble playing a x265 HEVC file with vlc where as i never encountered anything like that on any other distro and solving this was not trivial.
i am on kubuntu rn but if i were to switch i’d go back to cachyos with KDE.

ah ok, good to know!

maybe open ttd which was free before but has now been rolled into transport tycoon (of which it was basically a clone/fork but with many more years of development by now, so not meant derogatory):

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3766810/Transport_Tycoon_Deluxe/ (also on gog)

or intel linux (now discontinued): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_Linux_OS

don’t charge more than the original brick and mortar distribution systems they replaced

which would be absolutely insane considering they have almost zero costs compared to those

idk which part of it tickles you but i can always recommend stardew valley

“if it’s not fun, why bother?”

the first one is the only one i’d recommend (and its remaster)
