In my experience in Germany it’s just available. Only for the business focused models, but still.
I’m pretty sure they’ve been doing that for a long time. The other more business focused OEMs too.
Graphene doesn’t. The way I see it is like buying a laptop with pre-installed Windows, and replacing the OS.
Didn’t know they where German. My main association with them is that their stuff is kinda ass.
Third party key market places are kinda iffy, and there have been numerous cases of the keys being offered on there having been bought with stolen credit cards, or otherwise generated in ways that aren’t quite above board.
I remember one interview with an indy dev in which they said they prefer people pirating, because chargebacks from stolen cards are actively costing them money.
For people who feel they need the entertainment games provide, but can’t afford current prices, I feel pirating games from conglomerates, and buying from smaller studios and indies is the most socially responsible way to do it, but I’m not your mum.
Edit: Huh, looks like greenmangaming gets their keys directly from the publishers. Didn’t know that was a thing. Guess I was a bit quick on the trigger there, should have checked first. Sorry about that.
Someone who pretends to be cute and wants to talk about finance? Pretty sure they’re gonna try to get you to ‘invest’ in their totally legit trading platform.
Funny thing - Ford is on both lists.
I guess you could install cockpit (via Terminal, sorry, but it’s pretty straightforward and there are good guides). After that, you could use the cockpit web interface to deploy docker/podman containers. It’s a bit clunky sometimes, but it does the job purely in UI.
You can also manage updates, backups, etc via cockpit if you install the required modules.
As base, I’d use any stable Linux distro that’s reccomended for server use.
