It doesn’t run on old 2010 year Intel/AMD laptop, while FreeBSD does. Maybe because of the philosophy of destroying the old to build something completely new (pipewire, ip, firewalls etc.). Maybe I should spend more time finding working distro.

Also, It’s sad to realize that politics has actually always been a part of FOSS (when they removed Russian maintainers). Still I really like Linux.

Did you tried install games from setup.exe installer? I tried wine, lutris, steam (via add non-steam game), but never had a success.

AUR, etc

i3/sway in Manjaro/CachyOS or just install it on raw arch/debian

I have a solution with a bit fields. Now your bool is 1 byte :

struct Flags {
    bool flag0 : 1;
    bool flag1 : 1;
    bool flag2 : 1;
    bool flag3 : 1;
    bool flag4 : 1;
    bool flag5 : 1;
    bool flag6 : 1;
    bool flag7 : 1;
};

Or for example:

struct Flags {
    bool flag0 : 1;
    bool flag1 : 1:
    int x_cord : 3;
    int y_cord : 3;
};
