        This is something we as a community will see more often.

        The OEMs see the potential of Linux as a gaming platform so they will want a piece of the cake. But they want to inject their own proprietary BS (telemetry) into Linux. And since it’s immutable, an average user can’t do anything about it. The community will create an open-source version of the proprietary app and figure out a way to replace it (either a Manjaro Gaming Community Edition) or by using some layering technique. Will this cause those devices to be not Zotac approved (No support for warranty)? Will anti-cheat support be disabled on those devices?

        Interesting times ahead.
