Quoting: poisond*sigh* no, it's not about maturity, it's about profit.Not sure what you are sighing about since we are in complete agreement, you even quoted me about profitability.

Not to be dismissive but... every previous attempt at this exact thing has failed, utterly. Perhaps this time the tech is mature enough to make it viable? 
The biggest issue with this concept is that big OEM's don't see this as profitable. Letting consumers repair their own devices conflicts with the endless pursuit of making us buy new devices, so they will not jump onboard, meaning the concept is doomed to be small scale and thus quite costly for the consumer.
Those who have tried something similar have been burned bad or even killed.
Also, expensive means tiny market in normal times, and launching now? During the current global pandemic that's only getting worse every day? With electronics in desperately short supply in every industry? Hmm.
I really like the idea of a DIY kit, that would make an awesome gift to a tech hungry kid.
Fingers crossed this isn't vaporware or pipe dreams...

I saw these "I saw this coming a mile away" comments coming a mile away, and I don't even use imperial units.

Quoting: wvstolzingI eventually built libglfw3 from source; but the build for 'RE' still fails.FWIW, it built fine on Siduction, a Debian sid based distro.
... I also confess, that I'm not confident enough to mix stable & non-stable repos on Debian. I use backports & flatpak & appimages & source builds when I need something new.

Quoting: wvstolzingIt requires libglfw3 3.3 min.; while Debian (which I'm currently using, after random nvidia-related f*ckups with Arch that I got fed up with) still has 3.2.1 as of now.Or... grab libglfw3 3.3.2-1 from testing. 3.3 has been available in Debian repos since July 2019. :)

Linux support for the original game is great of course... but the way that press release reads, ME:Enhanced for PC sure seems to be Windows only.
