WHOA. Bombastic claim there, brah.

He’s a Eugenics aficionado, and racist-ADJACENT

Corporate sponsorship in the FOSS community has always existed. It’s how many of your favorite projects have managed to stay alive and thrive, including kernel develop.

Your suspicion and fear is lacking sustenance.

If it’s heat or hardware it may not show up until CPU, Mem, or GPU are under heavy utilization. That’s why I said monitor your temps and test your memory.

Are you saying games work fine without invoking the third-party tools?

This sounds more like a general hardware or hearing issue. Monitor your temps, and run a memory test at a minimum. Make sure you don’t have a bunch of stuff stacked on your machine or vents clogged.

What’s your point? Nix is meant for CI, but even still the defaults are set for multi-user operations.

Do you want explain a bit more?

Linux is Linux. If you’re using the standard install packages like Pam, then it’s built specifically for multiple users.

Elaborate more if you could.

There is no such thing in the way you’re imagining it. You can tune any distro to use as little power as possible, but there’s only so much you can do if the hardware platform you’re running isn’t very efficient.

What are you currently running?

GOOD GOD.

If you work this way, you should be fired. For real.

This is…a terrible idea

“…resigned with my own key…”

That’s a “no” from me, dawg. This isnt a distro, this a later revision you could easily just target and run. I don’t think you know exactly what constitutes an entire distribution.

Is it only happening with folders that are or have symlinks?

If you’re looking for something hosted, ProtonDocs is fine, however you’ll need an account for each collaborator which could get expensive.

Lots of mentions of HedgeDoc, but it’s only for Markdown.

Collabora sounds more in line with what you’re looking for. Nextcloud Office might be a bit lacking.

The distro doesn’t matter, the Desktop Environment does.

If they are used to MacOS and want something simple and “out of the way”, go with Gnome.

If they are used to Windows, go with KDE.

Fedora is probably the most straightforward to install and manage right now. You won’t need to “lock down” anything if you don’t give them sudo credentials.and just a regular user account.

Open Source projects get lots of free features for being on GitHub. Nobody else is beating that offering at current.

Linux is the most deployed OS on the planet, and the comparisons are not even close.

If you mean just for Desktop, it depends on what’s happening with the MacBook Neo, and if Microsoft gets their shit together and reverses course I suppose.

Look up elsewhere about the reputation Brother has with compatibility. Personal experience: never fails. That’s their jam.

Trust me. It is.

This has more details: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeKeyring/SecurityFAQ

The security model skews towards convenience versus absolute security, meaning automation is it’s goal, not perfect security. They use a reasonable amount of security to protect unauthorized access, meaning untrusted apps can’t access keys by default, and container apps only have selective access. AppArmor is supposed to be handling some DBUS interactions in the background to prevent any old app from grabbing everything, but again, automation is the purpose here.

If you don’t have a reasonably trusted system, then sure, it’s about as secure as any other password manager. I remember reading some time ago there was a plan to make a global framework for trusted application.accessnto things like this, but it was shot down for being “oppressive” in the same way as Microsoft’s trust app mess.

Ideally there would be an advanced mode where each app is granted access to specific keys, and that interaction is controlled by the user. This would never be the default obviously as the user interaction would be an insane annoyance to people who don’t care.

No gaming distro outperforms any other distro by any measurable means a user would notice.
