The AtGames Genesis Flashback is more akin to the Ferengi "Genesis Device" from Lower Decks than the original Genesis Device.

I don't have much PC building experience, but these specs seem sufficient. Only comment is that you might need to use a distro with a new-ish kernel and graphics stack, given the very recent CPU and GPU. So not Debian stable, but Fedora, Ubuntu, or any rolling release distro will be fine.
Normal, plug and play mice last a long time, with or without firmware updates, which are typically free. I guarantee that nobody will buy this mouse, and if it does release it will stop receiving updates within six months.
For a while I daily drove a Purism Librem 14 with Debian's fully free kernel, and installed as few non-free packages as possible, including firmware blobs (which I didn't install any of until I decided I needed Bluetooth). My experience with gaming was generally fine.
With linux-libre you really have to buy your hardware specifically with support in mind. You're limited to Intel and non-bleeding-edge AMD graphics cards, a very small range of wifi cards, and no Bluetooth. Otherwise, video games should work as well as they would on any other computers with the same specs. Especially if you're also limiting yourself to games with free engines - I'm not aware of a single libre game that demands more than a modern Intel integrated graphics card can provide, even on high settings.
Handbrake will probably still work if you compile it from source, but it seems like upstream isn't paying much attention to libdvdcss support.
The version in Debian's repo still works for me, anyway.
Yeah, it's fake, and as other commenters have pointed out, it's also inaccurate to how the GPLv2 works. It was not meant to convince anyone.
I came across a bunch of those recently, which is how I came up with the idea for this, as a parody :)
Internet horror is disappointingly un-creative. I have no idea why the weakest works (sonic.exe, anti-piracy, kill screens) always end up becoming huge trends, or why so few people try to put a significant twist on said trends.
Tons of companies are shipping Linux without giving users access to the source code, it's just that only one has the term "Tivoization" named after it.
Where'd you get the OneShot Firefox icon?
I'll probably use Codeberg or another Forgejo server for my next programming project, if/when I have one that is far enough along to publish (motivating myself to get that far is a tall task). Until then, everything I'd consider contributing to is either on GitHub, or is self-hosting some other software, so I don't have a reason to create an account yet.
of course not!
