I haven’t distro hopped much in the past few years, so I am near clueless. I know that Linux Mint has a graphical updater and I vaguely remember openSUSE having it, though I’m not so sure on that one, because as I mentioned, it’s been a while. Especially curious if any Arch-based distros have it.

Okay, so let’s just ignore for a moment that the Marvel universe has freaking metal manipulators like Magneto and Polaris, who would absolutely wreck your shit, like Wolverine and Colossus would attest. Let’s consider the physics here.
This is from some quick and dirty searching online: steel has a melting point of about 1500 °C. For comparison, a meteor heats up to about 1600 °C and its slowest speed is about 34 machs. Unless your character has some way of mitigating heat caused by air friction then you can only run or fly at about 15% of your maximum speed before melting into slag.
So I would say, yes, you are overpowered in the sense that your own powers would kill you.
Nope, it’s very much a YouTube/Google/Alphabet thing. Here’s a short explanation (taken from this page):
In 2025, YouTube started rolling out a new streaming protocol, known as SABR, which breaks down the video into smaller chunks whose internal URLs dynamically change rather than provide one whole static URL. This is problematic because it prevents downloaders (such as yt-dlp) from being able to download YouTube videos at resolutions higher than 360p due to only detecting format code 18 (which is the only format code available that doesn’t use SABR).[11] So far, this issue has only affected the web client, so one workaround would be to use a different client, such as tv_embedded (where SABR has not yet been rolled out to), so for instance in yt-dlp you could add --extractor-args “youtube:player_client=tv_embedded” to use that client. It is not known how long this workaround will work as intended, as YouTube rolls out SABR to more and more clients.
Anything that integrates yt-dlp, honestly. I used to use Freetube exclusively on my PC, but now I find myself downloading every video I want to watch because of Youtube’s stupid SABR requests. Basically, Youtube forces a 5 second pause on the video you’re watching for no good reason, seemingly at random, too, and this seems to affect NewPipe and its forks and yes, Freetube as well. It’s super annoying.
I tried Ember Knights the other day with my friend. It was fun.
