funny how enabling letterboxing causes me to be in "under 100 samples" category

btw, is pixelRatio controllable somehow? how do I set it to 1, most common value?

wtf is "Maximum touch points" ?

> The digitiser's touch-point count, uncollapsed.

my laptop does not have touch screen, why am I not at 0?

interesting how Windows and Mac are almost at 100% of DRM enabled, meanwhile linux is only at 33%

anyone knows why is that?

I wish I could select what OS to sort values for

see f.e. "Highlight" (Resolved value of the Highlight system colour keyword, as RRGGBB), which has bajillion different values for android - and I can't find the most common ones for linux

Users of open source operating system want to be in control of their computer, DRM vendors want the same -> to be control of user's computer, which is a problem. Nearly every DRM system involve heavily obfuscated closed source binary blobs, that's something neither the users nor distro maintainers want to touch if possible.

Maybe it reports the resolution of the touchpad instead?
