What kind of scenario/attack does it prevent?

I mean if the attacker were able to modify the framebuffer, isn't it likely they could also...

If ZRAM doesn't compress well and uses most of the RAM, that can present a perf/thrashing issue right? ZRAM doesn't get used for file cache and I assume...

I can't quite recall, does zram limit allocations by uncompressed input or compressed? (eg 1GB RAM, 1GB ZRAM, ZRAM can compress up to 1GB of uncompressed...

What restrictions would those be?

Probably employee contract would prevent it with some clause, but with enough financial incentive from the community or sponsors, you could potentially...

So your "Note" warning after your command about showing more than devices with PCI power management was not about your command but the previous...

It's themeable isn't it? It's not really bothered me, it's functional and I can do what I want (scrub playback, change audio/subs, etc). I barely see...
