It's a docker container that runs an OpenVPN/Wireguard client in order to provide a connection for other containers, yes.

I don’t want to spend 30 minutes traveling from one side of a map to the next
I'm not talking 30 minutes. There should be options that let the player do it in a few, depending on the scale.
Just let me get there immediately so I can talk to this single person and get this item I will never use.
You're encouraging bad design in order to facilitate bad content. There also shouldn't be much if any mailman content either, that's just filler.
I strongly dislike ingame teleporting and pause menu quick travel. I'd much rather the game have more ways for me to get to where I'm going than simply materializing wherever I want to be.
Let the travel itself be part of the game instead of just a way to link the "real" parts of the game together. Make it fun and fast to move around, add unlockable shortcuts, add more in-universe traveling options. Let me get to where I'm going myself instead of doing it for me, and make it fun to do so.
Especially in open world games, not only is this the most true, but they're the worst offenders. Literally what is the point of making an open world and then letting people skip it? You see everything once and that's it. If you make an open world full of opportunities to wander and explore, and then players want to avoid it as much as possible via teleportation, you have failed as a designer.
I was just looking at Google maps street view from previous years in my neighborhood. There used to be trees in front of almost every house, now it's less than half. It's really frustrating. The street used to look so much lovelier.
Most Linux distros are more alike than different. They'll use different package managers, have different sets of software available, have different default settings for some stuff, but at the end of the day, Linux is Linux. Once you know enough, the distro is almost meaningless in terms of what you're capable of. You can do almost anything on any distro with the right knowledge and a bit of effort. It mostly becomes about the effort at that point.
Skills you learn on one will be 98% transferrable to another. That's why everybody says to just get Red Hat certifications; not because Red Hat has a monopoly, but because their certification process is fantastic, respected and accepted almost anywhere regardless of what they actually run. As you've seen, almost every answer you got was completely different on what they actually run in production.
The only standout differences are the newish trend of immutable distros (openSUSE ALP/Aeon, Fedora Kinoite/Silver blue, etc) and NixOS, which is also immutable but its own beast entirely. These have some new considerations separate from the rest, especially NixOS. But they're still relatively fresh on the scene, so there's no rush to learn about them just yet.
This is a completely valid option and one that more people should consider. You don't have to selfhosted everything, even if you can. I actually prefer to support existing instances of stuff in a lot of cases.
I use https://disroot.org for email and cloud, and I'm more than happy to kick them a hundred bucks a year to help support a community. Same with https://fosstodon.org for Mastodon. I'm fully capable of self-hosting these things, but instead I actively choose to support them instead so that their services can be extended to more than just myself. I chose those two because they send excess funds upstream to FOSS projects. I'm proud to rep those domains.
AMD GPUs are fantastic on Linux. I'm running an MSI 6800XT and the only flaw is the the RGB lighting isn't properly exposed so I can't turn it off. Everything else just works and I've never had to give it a single thought since buying it. I just put it in and started playing my games.
Cheers for this, I just bought a stack of new hard drives myself and this is exactly what I didn't know I needed.
Fennec on F-Droid is just Firefox minus telemetry and some little proprietary bits. It's otherwise exactly the same.
The children yearn for the distro wars
I don't care. We don't do deceptive dark patterns in FOSS.
Why does everybody seem to think that userspace attestation is the only use for the TPM? The primary use is for data to be encrypted at rest but decrypted at boot as long as certain flags aren't tripped. TPM is great for the security of your data if you know how to set it up.
Valve is never going to require TPM attestation to use Steam, that's just silly. Anti-cheat companies might, but my suggestion there is to just not play games that bundle malware.
