I agree. Just meant to say it might simply be an oversight rather than malicious behavior.

@mondanzo @gamingonlinux
They probably just save the settings as part of the save and the save gets cloud-synced. And not necessarily because the devs thought syncing graphics via cloud save to be useful.

@gamingonlinux
While I get your point. I think the way you phrase it is unfortunate. I would argue you care about the topic, because you don't want to be attacked based on the social media site you post on. Or maybe even: you don't want others to be attacked based on the social media site they post on.
So I would argue you take a site in this debate.

@avesbury_rosetta
Except when you do.
Flatpak results in more actively supported software. The DE you are using defines how you interact with the OS. And using systemd is most definitely not a niche decision. While nitpicks are definitely a problem, the software you named is definitely important and not nitpicks.

@gamingonlinux happy new year of the Linux desktop ;)

I just remembered, Chrome did as well, Google now pretty dictates the whole Web-Standard and Firefox has to play along. Which Mozilla devs complain about quite frequently.
They now dictate what is acceptable tracking, changed their addon-system which makes ad-/tracking blocker addons impossible or their recent efforts to ensure "secure runtimes" and thus limit the free web even further and Firefox having to play along to be compatible

@cpw
I think Visual Studio Code did kill Atom, by adopting their addon-model and then literally buying GitHub and stopping Atoms development.
I would also say that AWS, Azure and Docker killed clean Open Source hosting on a scale and you now rely on them, which are attached to their commercial services or have to heavily compromise in building for scale.
I would also say Firebase replaced just storing data locally. Because they put the decent database abstraction behind using their servers.

@gamingonlinux
It might also be related to it being summer more people being outside and on the go.
There are less people gaming on a Desktop PC in Summer. I think Linux bigger market share in the Steam Survey often correlated with summer.( As well as certain events like the release of proton or the steam deck).
