anything we can do to push gaming into Linux would help it to become a better everyday OS

I feel like the SteamDeck and SteamOS have already done more for Linux gaming than ChromeOS ever had the potential for.

Sounds like he doesn’t want to spend his time tinkering, but playing.

Ehhh, I feel like this person is a tinkerer, it’s just the things they wanna tinker with don’t play nice with Linux.

Installing a modded version of Minecraft indicates a desire to tinker. Roblox is a game based around the concept of tinkering. EA games (especially ones from 7 years ago) require some level of tinkering even in Windows.

Yeah putting cars on trains is the opposite of a solution lol. All that cargo space used on a car probably just ends up driving the cost of the train ticket up for everyone. If you really need a car, rent one at your destination, like you would when flying.

You just proved my point. By itself, blockchain cannot do identification. You need to use something external like private key signatures to do that.

No they can’t. They can cryptographically prove that a particular transaction on the ledger is valid. That transaction is not linked to an identity, by design, so it means absolutely nothing as far as ownership goes.

Blockchain (assuming that’s what your digital receipts are based on) has no concept of identity. They’re anonymous by design. Because of that, the concept of “ownership” doesn’t really jive with blockchain, because the concept of “ownership” is inherently based on identity. All blockchain is good for is “yes, this transaction is valid”, or “no, this transaction is invalid”, where a “transaction” is simply the transfer of digital goods (cryptocurrency, nfts, whatever else) from one crypto wallet to another. Anyone with the keys to a particular crypto wallet can access the contents of said wallet, whether they “own” it or not.

So yes, the receipt cannot be forged. The receipt is next to useless though, because all it says is “here’s a record of this valid transaction between these two crypto wallets” - there’s no record of real, actual ownership or identification involved. And at the end of the day, bits are bits. You can wave your receipt at me all day and claim your bits are the “real” ones, but they’re no different from my bits that I downloaded from Twitter.

Linux isn’t a company you waffle
