Technically, Linux has always been on bout in lawfare with the other corporations, but it/they are pretty much companies/corporations themselves.
The law regarding computers or laptops, could be quite finicky in terms of whether it should apply to all or as a matter of copyrights. It all depends on how it is used. If you rather just have a laptop for the convenience of portability, that's good, especially if you really need to transport it around from the get go to a secured/locked location. Scenario can include untrustworthy people who might steal/scramble your computer. Another benefit is the just of public networks, which is pretty legal at start.
The use of laptops in terms of tampering with evidence, can apply to usually cybercrimes or any data transmission/storage that will involve crimes of a more physical nature. Usually, techy people go on with their business. However, people with other interests, could use computers as facilitation of their tasks at hand. Let's say, a mass shooter potential is a ticking. Computers can speed up the process, but such police simulation has not been tested, the assumption is only in theory.

Speaking of crime, there's another game that I am trying to get into. It's called Smokin' Guns. You go down a gunning, wild West style. However, not all is good for the game on a general level. There is no whipping/branding weapon. The website is a failure for hosting services. However, you can get the files from a alternative mirror. I will keep backups and more stable alternative mirrors if I succeed in file retrieval. https://www.indiedb.com/games/smokin-guns/downloads https://www.indiedb.com/games/smokin-gu ... nt-archive
The Windows version should work where (and when) applicable. I have yet to try the Linux version, partly because it is 32-bit specific and not all new OS can accommodate 32-bit compatibility. Where's the compatibility? OMG! The real problem, bypassing the bit compatibility problem, is the number of required dependencies. Chances are if the (main, safe enough, updated) repository doesn't have the game hosted, chances are that the (main, safe enough, updated) repository doesn't have the required dependencies for game operation.
The contact channels suck, but thankfully, the github provides a means of communication to developers. I am hoping to get them to use flatpak for both 32-bit/64-bit compilation compatibility.
If the game sucks, well, at least there's some usable western cowboy music. Kind of like that Outlaws game. Still, they probably ain't so great as full lengths as noted by examples below.
Rolling Stones - "Paint It Black"
B. J. Thomas - "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head"
Johnny Cash - "[Ghost] Riders In the Sky"
Ennio Morricone - "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"
Basil Konstantine Poledouris - "Anvil of Crom"
Clint Bajakian - "The Last Gunfight" (for the Outlaws game)
Mingos - "The 3 Caravels"
Mingos - "The Naive Bard"
Jice - "Marizapalos Psalter"
As for ET, it is still pretty good, given you follow the mod flow control methodologies (if you are a mod [freedom] freak, then prepare to be a bit let down). It's a bit class specific in terms of weapons too, if you are into that kind of thing.
