The intent of the current system is to make the US sufficiently inhospitable to foreign nationals that they don't come.

You left out a word at the end there....ILLEGALLY

Yes, trying to make it as inhospitable as possible for folks coming illegally.

We need to enforce no work and no housing for illegals too I think that would be much more effective....

And as for you, as long as. You're not coming to the US and hanging out in front of the local Home Depot soliciting trucks for "day labor"....you're going to be just fine.

Like other seemingly simple solutions, this one is wrong.

Why?

The major distros have become unbelievably bloated

Irrelevant

The kitchen-sink approach is just wrong and increases attack surface

Irrelevant

Although lightweight versions are possible, the sheer sprawl of inodes has become ridiculous

Irrelevant

No OS should need a half-million files installed from core executables and libs and sheer goo.

But I don't like "unified memory" when it comes to actual real-world performance.

It actually has both ups and downs in the age of LLMs. But more to the point, it mostly doesn't matter any more. If you are doing real grunt work or real gaming then yeah, that makes sense. But if you are doing typical processing then it doesn't matter at all. I have a Zen+ laptop and a Zen3 MiniPC and they both have slow AF graphics for lack of cores, but they are both plenty punchy in the CPU department and they can both do 4k video decoding. So for the average person, it's irrelevant, and even for many people who do not have typical use cases. It's like winmodems, they were terrible in their day but would be fine now if we still used modems :)

Why not go after Activision Blizzard for Diablo or EA for FIFA?...If, because the secondary market exists, individuals decide to engage in gambling-like behaviors, that is the individuals' problem - not Valve's.

Yeah, you're basically just a tool for Valve. There's no point in discussing it with you, because you will defend Valve no matter what, even if you know you are wrong.
