Quoting: RedneckIt already works! I am a proud owner of an Asus C302ca and most (if not all) of the newer Chromebooks include the Play Store.
So I basically installed Steam for Android and I'm perfectly able to stream games from my HTPC.

I think you mean the Steam Link app for streaming.

And Steam for Android is just a companion app, it doesn't allow you to play any games.

In Denmark I see people using Linux on their laptops from time to time. MacBooks are very popular. But I don't think I have ever seen a Chromebook, either in use, or in a shop. Not anywhere in Northern or Eastern Europe for that matter.

I wonder if this could allow for integer scaling on 4K displays? If so, I'm really excited.

Quoting: GuestDot.Net needs to be done with Mono on Linux or via Wine (yeah there is Dot.Net core but I never saw it in action in any meaningful way and I assume it only has a subset of all that stuff which is included into Dot.Net since it is called "core").

.Net Core is actually pretty nice by itself. The project structure, the tooling, the web framework (ASP.Net Core) are all much more sane than the classic .Net, and much nicer to work with. It's not really a subset, but a different implementation that exists in parallel, with it's own set of technologies. Therefore it's not a drop-in replacement.

There are actually 3 different implementations of .Net: .Net Framework, .Net Core, and Mono. As a developer you can either target one of them or target .Net Standard, which is a common subset that all 3 frameworks implement.

As long as you target a specific .Net Standard version, the code is very portable. The problem is that there's still a lot of stuff not covered by the standard, and it is very tempting to just target the classic .Net Framework, mix in some binary libs for good measure, and the whole "standard" thing gets tossed out the window.

It's a bit of a mess right now, but I have worked on several .Net projects on Linux, and it was relatively painless. You only need Windows if you are doing some deep integration with something like Microsoft Office or Windows API's. Considering that most of that stuff is being replaced by Azure services, Windows is becoming less and less relevant.

Quoting: KimyrielleI agree with the first comment that IP law needs an overhaul and urgently so.

There needs to be much harsher repercussions for abusing the law like that. As far as I know there's not any, so you can just throw accusations and takedown notices around and see what sticks.

Does it work on AMD hardware or does one need an NVIDIA card?

Quoting: MayeulCNow that I think about it again, it might be due to my using Wayland (with sway). I'll try to dig into this. Any pointers?

I think you are right about Wayland being the problem. Last time I tried (a few months ago) taking screenshots in GNOME would result in garbled images. For gaming XOrg is the right choice right now.
