Yeah, bazzite, or any atomic distro, is not something I would recommend to someone coming from windows. It's just too different in some ways.

Been running bazzite myself as a fairly experienced linux user and love it though.

You don't, there's privacy respecting ways of delivering notifications in android.

Also, a 24/7 connection to a server isn't nearly as bad as you might think.

The connection isn't active the whole time, it only uses any significant amount of battery if there's actually data being sent or received. You likely already have quite a few of them anyway, how do you think systems normally listen for push notifications?

Besides all that, I read in other comments that the privacy issue was the device id firebase needs. Obviously apple also needs some kind of device id, otherwise how do they know where the notifications are going?

Did some searching, yup apple also needs a unique identifier:

When it’s time to send a notification, you generate a request that contains the notification data and a unique identifier for the user’s device.

From https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/setting-up-a-remote-notification-server

That doesn't have anything to do with how you install the app.

And in the product details they list it has 3 features, also not mentioning what they are

The id is registered to some database where you can look up the info.

If the registry is partnered with europetnet, you can find it here: https://www.europetnet.org/pet-id-search.html

If not you'll have to figure out where the id was registered and request the info there.

+1 for breezy weather, the app itself looks really nice as well

They're limited by what the original window manager allows them to do. Sway has its whole own window manager, so it can do whatever it wants.

And there's the chance of getting my glasses smudged, because of course I'm too lazy to take those off beforehand.

You could probably do it with http if the server properly supports the content range headers.

Pretty sure both windows and macos allow programs to interrupt shutdown, usually if there's any unsaved documents open. I quite like that feature actually, if it's used correctly anyway.

I hate that. My pixel tablet has it as well, and besides it being terribly unreliable which is surely just that particular implementation, it's also annoying when it does work. Just want to quickly turn on the screen to pause music or check a notification or something, and it'll just immediately unlock. No thanks, I prefer separate actions to be separate buttons.
