Generally people are worse with computers than you think.
A computer preinstalled with Linux is definitely more likely to confuse than you imagine

a word for such things is ‘dark patterns’
it’s not designed to be liked but to keep the player returning habitually and upping so called “retention.”
It’s mostly up to which manufacturers allow boot loader unlocking.
The pixels are somewhat a continuation of the nexus line which were more developer centric.
That’s a better way to frame it.
The patch is ‘about as open source as you can get’ but the actual application is far from it.
My understanding is that it literally can’t be used in an open fashion since it critically requires a proprietary closed base.
Some source code is available but the entire thing is not open source.
Getting banned by a bot and having to beg somebody to actually read what you posted is an experience.

No text mode is HDMI with a 3070, the monitor does have HDMI compatibility in the options but it’s off.
The no scaling was displayport, but AMD RX 5700 to a GSync display so that might have been the issue because it did actually work fine with NVIDIA cards.
I tend to get the kind of Linux issues nobody believes.
Currently my installation “works” but none of the text mode boot up stuff displays at all so I have to dig out a spare screen if it gets stuck there.
Another screen I could never get the display scaling to work no matter what I did - I tried swapping cables, editing the resolution manually, different drivers, different distros, everything I could think of but it would always output 640x480 native pixels unscaled as a tiny square in the middle of the screen.
Windows gives me issues but it usually just works with every screen+gpu combination.
The push to live services, online DRM, microtransactions, DLC and other such things is because they have identified that there is more money to be made as a ‘server operator’ than a ‘game developer.’
They don’t really care about getting paid for the game, they’d rather give it away for free if they can make more money off controlling the servers.
