Does it matter where it comes from though? Do you think regular folks are like: “i’m gonna play on my WINDOWS MACHINE”? They just use whatever came pre-installed.

Arch is designed to take up your free time by making you build everything from scratch
That’s a weird take, arch provides repositories ootb and is meant to be used with pacman, you’re maybe confusing with gentoo?
You really want to deal with wine through another layer like lutris if you’re new to wine. Lutris doesn’t just bring a different wine version, it brings environment variables, dxvk… Wine alone does not work well, it needs to be setup.

It’s more complicated than that, distros typically have specific patches for packages and they assume you’re running a particular kernel version. By running another kernel version you’re going into unsupported territory. Yeah you can do that, and it’ll probably be fine, but using another distro that actually supports the edge kernel is less risky and takes a few less clicks.
They do. Linux mint is great for office work and opening firefox. If you want a gaming distro i’d use something closer to the edge like fedora / endeavour os.
Supposedly Windows can mess with the linux bootloader if it’s on the same drive, i never had it happen back when i still dual booted. Reinstalling the bootloader isn’t too hard though if it ever does happen.
It’s really a design decision. Gnome’s corners don’t have infinite size because you can grab the window by clicking anywhere on the topbar including in fullscreen. It creates exceptions in the design, why should the close button expand to the corner but not the others? If the close button is too small to click on, that’s another issue entirely.
Works fine here, on mutter with mesa. Looks mostly like a KDE bug.
You can still theme gtk though, whether it’s simply by editing /.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css
or by using a more in depth app like gradience, everyone using the same defaults actually makes it easier to further tweak.

Google has a swath of PR people, devs are always going to be less socially inclined. Devs at google aren’t the ones making the decisions. But yeah gnome does throw its weight around, both for good and bad.
Familiarity breeds contempt, give it some time and I’m sure cosmic will have its share of haters too. There’s hundreds of gnome devs, and all you’re seeing are clickbait blogposts like these made to stir up the pot. Go check out the discussions on discourse, matrix, or even gitlab to see what they’re actually like.

Gnome’s ui is a couple of extensions away from being windows-like. You don’t need to subscribe to the full gnome experience™ to use gnome.
Botnets work as background malware, most people never realize they’re infected, as opposed to in your face malware like ransomware.
Backups are only relevant for malware if you can pinpoint when the malware was installed and the backups aren’t compromised.
Winetricks has a setting to toggle virtual desktop if you want; however virtual desktop is barely maintained so you probably should switch to gamescope .
Yeah i don’t think i had an article, just some redhat documentation and the regular localectl help page, and a couple of hours.
Oh and fyi you’ll probably need the second command too if you ever use x11, iirc set-keymap
doesn’t convert properly so you need to set it manually
localectl set-x11-keymap us 104 colemak_dh
That’s steam players, linux on desktop is estimated at 4%, and 6% if you count chromeos.
