Doesn't everyone just have a collection of apps you need and stick to those? I can't even remember when I bought an App. Even free apps only get downloaded when absolutely needed.
Indeed, that is why anyone with a clue wouldn't make important (hell, any... ) devices on a Cloud Service. I, and I hope nobody with a clue, wouldn't accept a firewall that is cloud dependent.
Support? I use Debian. I do my own support and use "the Internet" for that.
My SteamBox is literally Debian 11, booting into a very lightweight DE, autostarting the Steam client in Big Picture mode... all of the info to do that, is available online.

What you might NOT know is that he was frequently the Dungeon Master for D&D campaigns played by the original Slashdot crew, and for the last few years he has been applying these skills with fellow Slashdot editorial alum Chris DiBona to a Survival game called Fractured Veil. It's set in a post apocalyptic Hawaii with a huge world based on real map data to explore, as well as careful balance between PVP & PVE. I figured a lot of our old friends would love to help them meet their kickstarter goal and then help us build bases and murder monsters! The game is turning into something pretty great and I'm excited to see it in the wild!
