GameNative-x64 on the Acer Googlebook

Here is a video of what all I have working on the Acer Googlebook so far with my GameNative-x64 fork.
Changes made for the Googlebook (and others):

32bit emulation added for kernels that don't include support
Linux Session & Apps are also now working
Rendering artifacts on newer Intel chipsets resolved.
Sidebar overlay added to Linux App/Session windows (Back or Shift+Esc)
Per-App scaling support for Linux apps

(For best performance, you will still want to switch to DRI3 presentation in settings)

Updates are released in the GameNative-x64 repo: https://github.com/Bliss-Bass/GameNative-x64

Spent a good part of the day working on this to adapt what ale-5000 started for a generic MicroG flashable zip, and get it to work as a nice universal installer for all arch types. And make changes to update all apps within the scripts, fix releases, nightlies, etc.

Build #4 (#3 had a bug): Now the build toolkit generates a secure platform key for signing the build, and also includes BlissView (frameworks integrity validation service), along with Bliss Display Mapper, and moving them all (Including BlissTouchMapper) into Settings > System (like the other Lineage Extra Settings apps).
MicroG is also included and working (updated vendor/foss & vendor/foss_userapp for A14+) in this version. Next build will be adding some finishing touches (bootanimation and wallpaper customization options, and a few other features)

Build #2: adding FOSS apps, Bliss Touch Mapper, and basic addon_init.rc for touch & display mapping services

While at FOSDEM'26 this year, I noticed an issue that I started working towards highlighting as a series on the relationship between corporations and community driven software.

This first article goes over some of the history I have been personally involved with and how to identify what corporate strip mining does for open source projects.
