All the kernel Rust code is GPL, so you can leave that slippery slope alone. MIT licenced core utils just leave the door open to eventually using them in the BSDs as well.

Then the answer is definitely not - at the very least Wine would need to simulate a very large part of the NT kernel.

I’m not sure what a flatpak version could possibly do any better than the version I use.

The official OBS flatpak supports more codecs and integrations than some distro packages.

Stability is also a factor, especially on rolling or cutting edge distros. Fedora RPM release of Blender did not work for me at all with an nvidia GPU, for example.

If you have multiple monitors with different refresh rates, you’ll notice immediately.

AFAIK no systemd -> no flatpak -> don’t recommend to newbs. Say what you will about flatpak, but it is the official distribution method for some popular pieces of software and large GUI software generally works better through it (in my experience) - think Blender, GIMP etc.

If you’re thinking about the recent thing, the real Go library (boltdb/bolt) was not compromised at all. The malware was in a similarly named package (boltdb-go/bolt), this is called “typosquatting”.
