Overwatch (as a game and as a franchise) was just straight up killed by Bobby Kotick (intentionally, and slightly unintentionally by Jeff Kaplan wanting to still build Project Titan). Since OW2 under MS its been back to being a fine game.
> What does it say about Nix, when a barely one-year old Omarchy is already more popular than it, and growing really fast?
Nothing really. Popularity does not mean quality. Some of the most popular items on the planet are complete dogshit quality, but because for example the price is low enough or "everybody else uses it" (argumentum ad populum) or the better alternative is so different to what anyone is use to, the lower quality item has become popular.
Popularity is correlated with quality. Not necessarily in the absolute sense, but in the realistic sense of betterness, while taking other important aspects like price into account.
Panther was a more technically advanced and expensive tank, but taking everything into account, it is the relatively cheap T-34 that is The Best Tank of the WW2.
Visuals are also part of the general quality. As are the marketing and sales. It doesn't matter if you have the technically speaking better product, if you can't sell it for shit, if nobody uses it. Meanwhile, the product that is technically worse, but is able to sell itself, and satisfies enough of users' needs to continue use it - is a superior product.
This reminds me of the "I am in your walls" meme, just so much more creepy.
I really hate vehicles. But I especially hate those that aren't able to be change to an entirely local mode, with no non-GPS radio further than like 10 meters. But then again, that wouldn't make line go up since we can't charge for/control basic features, so it is becoming more and more a rarity.

I haven't heard of updates on ESMC in a while, but that has been a thing on the horizon for a while, with production planned to start in fall 2027 last I read.
I personally am of the opinion that both make sense and should exist. Extensions are for a first pass filtering/displaying, while magic bytes should be the source of truth, which is extra important when parsing a file anyway. Linux's binfmt_misc[0] even supports matching on either.
The 2 quotes just say "they killed it", but the way I read it having followed most linux stuff is just they are finally happy that they were able to "kill X.Org" in RHEL by being able to provide an alternative that they are able to actually improve upon.
And metux was banned from my knowledge after multiple times pushing uncompilable and breaking changes to the actual X.Org repo, which later needed to be reverted and just being stubborn as all hell to work with. Recently even Artix had to drop XLibre support for causing too many issues[0] to put it lightly.
They did Wayland instead, that killed X11 since X11 windows and such can be spawned under Wayland. but wayland isn't x11 so people miss shit and wish it was there.
You do need some root process to be able to write the updated kernel image to a root owned directory. On macos that is presumably their update daemon, while on something like ParticleOS[0] IIRC it is the systemd-sysupdated daemon, though I don't know if you can initiate the update as an unprivileged user or if its done on a timer or only root initiated (sysupdate has had a lot of changes not too long ago that reworked it extensively. It use to be something only root invoked transiently with a possible timer to "update all", but now it has a full on daemon).
Basically the reason we "need sudo access" (or anything to elevate privs to root) is because how the system is architected and changing that is mostly only possible on new distros which can decide to change the architecture.
