Even there, if the stars align (network access, cups being used), you still need to convince the user of the device to switch printer.

As far as I’m aware, the exploit requires someone to try printing using a malicious networked printer. It is a vulnerability, yes, but it affects essentially nobody. Who tries manually printing something on a server exposed to the internet?
Although for local network access, like in a corporation using Linux on desktops, the vulnerability is an actual risk.
If this was the case, the phrashing around the issue would’ve likely been different. Yet bitwarden remained very vague, and even locked github comments on the issue.
Especially considering that a move like this alienates their core target demographic (people who use FOSS), they would’ve been much more open and much quicker if it wasn’t intentional.
I will personally be switching, likely to KeePassXC.
GrapheneOS developer is very toxic, if you trust him is up to you. I prefer not running his code on my personal devices, especially after him blaming large parts of his community for coordinated harassment. Watch Louis Rossman’s video on it.
Although for security-focussed custom roms on the google pixel, like Calyx or Divest, you can re-lock the bootloader, so there’s less security risk. A factory reset is required to unlock it again, similar to a factory bootloader lock.
Linux, it fits my needs better on desktop, and is much less painful to troubleshoot than Windows, with more freedom and control than macOS.
“clean driver install”, which heavily suggests you installed nvidia drivers, probably from the website. That issue is entirely on you.

I think the last thing you’d have to worrh about is your job when nearly all infrastructure collapses.
Client side anti-cheat is inherently flawed. These games are asking an untrusted computer whether it is cheating. That’s like asking a known liar whether they’re lying at that moment. The one way to make it harder for the computer to “lie” is by increasing the permissions the AC has, which comes at the cost of privacy for people with the game, and security for every Windows user (not just the ones with a certain game installed).
Client side anti-cheat can be poked and investigated locally, with no restrictions. All it takes a skilled enough cheater is time, and they will bypass it. The only way to test server side anti-cheat is by hopping in the game, trying to learn how it works, and trying to bypass it. That is a much more time consuming and expensive process.
This person uses an 8GB mac, and tried to defend Apple in the debate, going as far as to say that Apple hardware is “not that expensive”, and within 2 months regrets buying the 8gb mac.
They think Open Source is “overrated”, insecure, and not important. They think Linux users are “normies” and fakers, Linux is not a desktop OS, and have explicitly stated “F*** LINUX”.
That’s a lot of terrible opinions in just 4 months, especially for someone who calls the internet “stupid”, and supposedly doesn’t have any education.
This is either a troll account, or someone with less than zero credibility considering their opinions and statements.
Android is a dead end for FOSS in the future, but moving from one corporate owned semi-proprietary OS to another doesn’t solve anything.
I can personally vouch for how toxic the Discord server and its moderators/admins are. Went there for support (Hyprland was crashing on startup on AMD, sway worked fine), and was told something along the lines of “if you can’t figure this out you’re stupid and you should stop using Linux”. Figured out the issue on my own and stopped using and recommending Hyprland after that.
That was a possibility with this exploit, but realistically that doesn’t affect nearly as many people as “All GNU/Linux systems”.
