You're correct; AMD's implementation is FreeSync and NVIDIA's is G-Sync.

Can I parse [X]HTML with regex?

With specific regard to OpenGL, GL 4.1 is still supported on the latest version of macOS afaik. It was asinine that they deprecated it, but I'm not aware of any reason it would preclude a 64-bit port of a game that previously worked in x86 mode.

The whole concept of claiming that GNU is the actual OS never made much sense to me. Like yeah, glibc and coreutils are very major components, but so is the init system, and the package manager, and the WM, and the DE... I don't really understand why RMS draws the line at GNU arbitrarily other than to stroke his own ego. Following his underlying logic, shouldn't I call my system Plasma/KWin/pacman/systemd/GNU/Linux?

None of this is directed at you btw, it's just something that always springs to mind for me whenever this topic comes up.

Yep, Alpine Linux does this as well.

It's actually quite rare for organs to be able to be donated upon death. The donor needs to either be brain dead but clinically alive, or otherwise the organs need to be harvested very rapidly following death or else they will deteriorate past the point of being viable for donation. So, donating a kidney now would ensure it goes to a person in need, whereas being a registered organ donor and hoping the circumstances of your death will facilitate organ donation will give them about a 1% chance of going to someone.

The PE format used by Windows stores icons in the binary itself, so modifying them is extremely nontrivial. Compare that to Linux environments, where the icon is typically specified within a .desktop file which is literally just a text file and points to an executable and a separate image file somewhere else on the disk.

As the other commmenter mentioned though, you can do something similar to this on Windows by just adding a shortcut as a level of indirection to the actual program in much the same way as a .desktop file.

That's my bad; I automatically read "Steam Deck" in the parent comment as "Linux" which is obviously a much different story. I've definitely had my share of issues getting certain games to work properly on my Steam Deck that otherwise run flawlessly on my desktop.

Pretty much. Out of the ~380 games in my library, there are only a handful that outright don't work (excluding those which use anticheat).

I assume it's a garbage disposal, I've never heard the term either though.
