> None of my GOG games run on Linux, while most of my Steam games run on Linux.
Stop spreading misinformation. Even if you're a non-techie you can add non-Steam games to Steam's launcher (my extremely tech illiterate friend just did this) and they'll run with Proton.
It comes down to a game by game basis, and it's still extremely rare (outside of recent 2025/2026 anticheat AAA title stuff) that any game would have a Linux specific/impacting patch.
Yeah, of course you can, but that isn't exactly an argument for DRM-free GOG if you need the evil Steam to get your games running, or mess around with DOSBOX, Wine, Heroic, Lutris or whatever else is the workaround of the week. If you want to jump through extra hoops you can strip Steam DRM with a few clicks too.
Meanwhile with Steam you click once and the game runs, since they jumped through all the hoops for over a decade to make that work, while GOG sat around and still hides their MSDOS games in a self extracting Windows executable, that neither runs on DOS nor Win9x.
Anyway, back to the point: DRM-free is just a teeny tiny fraction of what might prevent you from running a game.
Also it's not like GOG is digital rights management free in the purest sense: You still have to have an account and they still track what you own, it just isn't enforced at the .exe level, but it makes things like used games sales still impossible, since you can't relinquish or transfer your ownership.
Overly focusing on DRM-free just misses how the software landscape has changed in the last two decades and what things actually matter.
The Border Patrol have been a violent and abusive branch of government since their inception. Their abuses under Republican and Democratic Presidents alike have been reported across the spectrum of America's media for many years. 'Thug' with it's roots in groups of violent organized criminals who preyed on travelers - is an accurate description for them.
Abortion? Permissive drug laws? Immigration? Homelessness policies? Vaccines? American AI gave me these examples, and they're not really so cut and dry. Do you have a better example that's being left out (no pun intended)?
Passing "{}" handles most sane cases including spaces. If I'm doing bash that needs to be robust (rare and/or dotfiles) or know the folder/dataset has weird filenames, sure.
Based on timeline, it seems like both are true. They stopped communicating around the time of the acquisition per OP, which was announced December 3rd, and the PR integrating it is was merged the tail end of November.
