The Citroën Berlingo really is one of the best cars they made
Nix/Nixpkgs blocks unfree packages by default, so I presume it would be relatively easy to disable packages with the `unFree` attribute.

As an added bonus, Nix can still easily output a container image for docker use containing the same shell environment.
I would say so. Just like GTK is native on GNOME but definitely not on Windows. "native" (to me) really just means whatever the system is designed for.
There is work underway to improve the cookie modal situation: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/proposal-epriv...
