There has been several game "mechanics" that have been patented in the past. Two examples I know off the top of my head are "overhead arrows that point in the direction of the destination" and "minigames during loading screens".

That said, these were applied for specifically as patents in the US, and every other game made does not go through this process (especially since I doubt that this would worm in this day and age... I hope, wtf is going on across the pond) especially for entire game concepts, and OP is definitely in the clear.

It was such an interesting talk, and just made their closure hit even harder.

Absolutely this. 99% of people I know never want to touch a terminal, and I don't blame them. They've been shown that what they want to do can be simple, why would they settle for less? Something really big needs to happen for them to change browser, let alone a whole OS.

How's that fairing? I'll be switching once the last few games I care about get support, but as someone new to Linux with a NVIDIA card I'm feeling a little lost.

Lemmy likes to say Nobara is great for gaming but Mint is great for newcomers, and I really don't want to have to come home and tinker with my PC after work.
