It would mean open source, but the requirements and coverage depend on the license and how the code is used. I made this post to be sure that LGPL doesn’t reach outside the library.

and free to play, no?

No such requirement.

Yeah, different rights for the owner feel like a hindrance in that regard.

Huh, I completely missed that part. Have to look at that more.

I meant by hardcoding that it loads some assets from predefined paths from the project at runtime. I’m now thinking it’s probably not a problem.

I think you’re missing the important part that I’m building a game. GDExtension is just the means to use C++/Rust/etc. instead of GDScript for game code.

Why make it copy left?

I want to give access to the code, but at the same time I want the same courtesy from anyone who uses it.

No, but Valve says this:

If your application contains third party open source code that is incompatible with the Steamworks SDK, then YOU MUST NOT DISTRIBUTE YOUR APPLICATION VIA STEAM.

LGPLing the Rust code is what I’m asking about, but I’m unsure if the LGPL could touch the project in some unexpected way, like having project files hardcoded.

Maybe I’m overthinking it.

MPL is indeed my backup choice. I’d like it a bit stronger though, so I’m hoping to make LGPL work.

I’ve been using mega synced folders for most stuff. Works fine.

I tried to do this before, but it did not work out.

I couldn’t make the meta key alone open overview. I also tried to add a dock there, but I can only have a panel when not in overview, which is the opposite of that I wanted. I also liked the notification menu and the quick toggles menu in top right corner.

I have been planning to get into plasma extension development to fix some of these issues.

It would help if you got the model right, and an exact one at that. As the others said, “iMac” isn’t a mac laptop, but an AIO desktop.

I run linux on one of these. Everything worked out of the box, except for wireless. See my 2-part adventure for how I solved it.

Mac “bios” isn’t exactly how you’d expect from PCs. Hold down alt key during startup to enter boot menu, and you’re good to go.

If your family member was a mac user before, they might be most comfortable on Gnome, as it has aped many ui features from mac os. It has a similar dock, fluid trackpad-friendly navigation that works the same way, and more.
