No, that’s a different protocol, the tearing patches, already merged, but i believe we’re still waiting on some patches to the kernel to get them fully working(i think it was kernel 6.8 that had them), Nvidia’s drivers also need to add support for it, they’ve given no timeline for that so far however

That blogpost is considered to be somewhat flawed with its information, as explained here: https://tesk.page/2021/02/11/response-to-flatkill-org/
You can, infact there’s outright a mesa git runtime one can add, i don’t imagine too many systems roll so fast as to outpace it https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/available-runtimes.html
Your best bet is to find a car where its easiest to disable the antenna/cellular modem for, so look for a car that has a fuse for the DCM(digital communications module) you can pull, as having it be a fuse means you can readily reconnect it should you need to, try to find its schematic online, or find the repair manual for the car or use a car maintenance program,
Apparently its also possible to call the car company and ask for an opt out when serviced,
I vaguely remember some people experimenting with replacing the head unit with aftermarket ones, but no idea how well that would actually go in practice
mokutil --disable-validation
Though this sounds more like a case of needing to disable secure boot in your bios ? As far as i know Mint has no secure boot support, and the mokutil keys of a previous installation wouldn’t affect a fresh one
Two utilities that may be handy for you here:
Pakrat: Automates and simplifies the process of creating alliases for flatpaks, good if you just need to make a few programs be simplified
Fuzzpak: Lets you do fuzzy searches for flatpaks(as in you just write fuzzpak inkscape and it auto looks for something with inkscape in the flatpak folder and launches it), good for when you want to simplify launching flatpaks in general without doing the process of configuring stuff manually
Are you using Firefox within a flatpak perchance ?
There seems to be a bug to it relating to use of bitmap fonts, you can fix the issue by disabling them via a config file in firefox’s fonts: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621915

PDF4QT, bit of a newcomer, but its a free and foss pdf editor with the capabilities of propriatery equivalents: https://jakubmelka.github.io/

There’s a few options
Newpipe, uses it’s own extractor, also can act as a player for SoundCloud and Peertube, there’s also a fork with SponsorBlock: https://newpipe.net/
Libretube, uses the Piped api, generally seen as the one with the best UI: https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube
Clipious, uses the Invidious api: https://github.com/lamarios/clipious
Could also watch videos in a browser from an Invidious or Piped instance I guess
And while I’m at it I’ll also mention there’s a client option on desktop too, Freetube: https://freetubeapp.io/
Fennec enables access to about:config, so making all of arkenfox’s changes manually(by viewing its user.js and toggling it in about:config accordingly) would also be an option, none of arken’s toggles are desktop only as far as I know
You can take a crack at using Geddit I suppose, doesn’t use the reddit api so should keep working, but is in turn kinda janky as a result: https://github.com/kaangiray26/geddit-app
The themes section on the desktop integration doc here might be of use: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/desktop-integration.html
This may be useful for further elaboration: https://www.reddit.com/r/flatpak/comments/y9jmqj/the_general_flatpak_qt_and_gtk_theming_guide/
Going off of these guides my best guess would be that you don’t yet have kvantum or some other theme runtime installed within flatpak
I’ll also mention Stylepack exists for automating and streamlining theme installation, it’s only for GTK currently however but maybe will be of use in future: https://github.com/refi64/stylepak
This is probably the best resource for keeping track of which search engine options exist and what their quality is like: https://seirdy.one/posts/2021/03/10/search-engines-with-own-indexes
For a “fire and forget” option that doesnt require any configuration you cant go wrong with good ol DuckDuckGo: https://duckduckgo.com
If you’re okay with dealing with more configuration and breakage then Searx can be pretty powerful as its a metasearch engine that can search with every search engine you tell it at once and agregate the results(while proxying things to maintain privacy): https://searx.space (had decent luck with the https://search.sapti.me instance if you just wanna try it out without searching through a list of options)
Also all search engines are kinda bad due to SEO spam and “AI” generated images and articles polluting the results, consider using uBlacklist to help you filter out the trash from search results(think of it like ublock origin for search engine results), can use it for basically any search engine so no reason to not set it up: https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist
