Well, issues 1-3 could all easily be GPU driver related. Which GPU are you using, and what drivers?

The Steam UI thing sounds like an issue like maybe hardware acceleration being disabled?
Then you wouldn't notice all the fun and exciting recommendations they have for you! /s
They generally have really great linux support for all of their hardware (touchpads, fingerprint readers, etc.), and provide bios updates via fwdup. They are also just nice laptops.
Showing free demos as their own line item in the store suggestions feels counterintuitive. As a user, I don't want this, it just clusters the interface. I want to see the main game and something on it indicating a demo is available.
As for developers, discoverability is something they are always talking (complaining) about. Artificially inflating the sheer number of competing games for visibility seems like an odd choice in that regard.
Anyone know why they were protesting? The article sure doesn't care to say.
Which, by avoiding such a key piece of information, makes this come off as more of a warning to the general population than news. If you're going to protest something, we are going to beat you, deny you food and water, put you in solitary confinement, inhumane living conditions, and generally behave so despicably that we must ensure we keep the cameras away so they can't report on our behavior.
Land of the free, yay. /s
It's so ridiculous that this isn't even brought up:
The Command you provided worked fine. Thank you so much for the help! Really appreciated! We are going to proceed to make a release today and test with customers. Will post the updates here.
Gotta love being a forced beta tester... I mean customer.
Some of that seems unnecessary (device boot time). But it's not all scary spooky tracking. Some permissions/information is required for certain features.
For example, you can't rotate your app UI if you're not allowed to know screen orientation. Or maybe they do a low power mode if device battery is low, or a warning that the app might not function well if the OS or device is old.
Not saying you're wrong or that Discord is right. Just pointing out that a long list of permissions isn't on its own a bad thing, if those permissions are required for specific features, and not just for the sake of data harvesting.
Any system logs that might be related to the display not being detected properly?
Since you're using AMD graphics, you're using the open source drivers right? The proprietary AMD drivers are not good.
