Well yeah, they're just blocking known fingerprinting services. If you use a tool that they don't recognize, it'll still work, but their approach will still block the big companies that can do the most harm with that data.

The only alternative is probably to disable WebGL entirely, which isn't a reasonable thing to do by default.

Yeah, I manage the infrastructure for almost 150 WordPress sites, and I moved them all to ARM servers a while ago, because they're 10% or 20% cheaper on AWS.

Websites are rarely bottlenecked by the CPU, so that power efficiency is very significant.

Most problems I've seen between Nvidia and Linux were caused by Wayland. If you're using Fedora with Gnome (the default) then you can try hitting the gear icon when logging in and choosing "gnome on xorg" (screenshot). That might help with the drivers.

For any other issues, Mint might be easier just because it's based on Debian, which is immensely popular. It's more of a well beaten path, and there's probably more help online for any issues you run into.

If your connection is stable, the latency will more or less be the same, but TCP will consume more bandwidth because of acknowledgement packets, making it harder to keep your connection stable.

On an unstable connection, TCP latency will skyrocket as it resends packets, while UDP will just drop those packets unless the game engine has its own way of resending them. Most engines have that, but they only do it for data that is marked as "important". For example using an item is important, but the position of your character probably isn't, because it'll be updated on the next tick anyway.

I know that a car pollutes...

Unionizing and striking are effective, but they'll stop being effective if they become illegal. They're already less effective than they should be, because of legal restrictions.

Protesting is only useful for getting in the news and convincing people to consider certain issues when they vote. They will never directly cause change.

And boycotting is just plain worthless. You'll never get enough people to join a boycott for large corporations to care.

If it doesn't have any legitimacy, then the only option left is to assassinate people until legitimacy is restored.

If you aren't killing people, then vote.
