I normally use the above when I need to figure out what files I need to delete to free up some space. note of mention here, it is rarely stuffs inside the log and temps. for me personally, it is mostly node modules and some other work related stuffs i downloaded and dump into my home directory. 

Veteran programers perfer split keyboard over qwerty and qwerty is not designed to be comfortable to type with to begin with. It is layout that way because early typewriter had a tendency to get keys stuck and laying out letter like that made it less likely, this problem doesn't exist on modern keyboard but the layout got carried over because existing typists did not want to retrain their muscle memory for a new layout. 

Because I asked how to use yay and instead have an asshat tell me to learn to use pkg build from an aur package before even consider using a helper. Should I also learn to skin my sheep and milk my own cow when I want to make a sweater and eat cheese? 
 
It won't change the muscle memory and habits of people who have been pulling doors all their lives. They might be as much annoyed at the designers stupid choice to create a handle-less pushing door as much as you are at their "stupidity". It is one of the reason why Windows people have such trouble with Linux. Some design choices are simply counter intuitive to people who have done things in a certain way. 
 

Nah, you can literally plug the drive with the linux partition from one computer and move it into another and expect it to boot completely fine out of the box. 

Servers do not rock windows because of popularity of the LAMP stack back in the 1990s. I mean who doesn't like open sourced, free/cost less server hosting solutions? This continues to the modern day even if LAMP is no longer as popular as it once was. Apache and things like docker all run better on Linux too. 

Yeah, Mint is great and all but for bleeding edge hardware you need something based on Fedora or Arch.

I can just install emulators to turn it I to a gaming box but I am pretty against the idea of playing windows games on there. I have windows on my 2nd drive so if I want to play windows games, I would boot into that instead. Not sure why I would want to wine it. Emulating ps2, switch ect or playing open-source games are different matter. They are pretty much equivalent on both windows and linux and I would pick my linux os over windows in all cases when equal. 

TikTok is owned and ran by the commies, that should clear things up. Really if they get banned, I don't care if people get upset. 

idk, I use ubuntu extensively for development, and tried to install some other distros, but god damn does Linux not like secure boot, TPM and other similar features. I hate having to enrol random keys for secure boot, why doesn't Linux do it itself, why can Windows but Lindon't?
 
Linux is definitely nice, and so far much more stable (the OS, doesn't always apply for some of the software I use) for me, but I'd find it hard to use it personally for gaming or using random somewhat obscure software or even more popular stuff, but it makes the perfect development environment.

Hey, slap on an Apple logo and everything magically becomes better. Sex, weed, and even video games 🤣
 
not really, WINE is a compatibility layer for windows API, it does not virtualize any hardware. true virtualization like what you see in hypervisors however do, from disks to CPU. I mean just read what WINE stands for, it is not an emulator.
 
Wine has a slight performance hit because it translates windows API calls on the fly during RUNTIME. Many native Linux ports of windows games actually all do the same thing but at the COMPILED TIME so the performance hit is less. e.g. game publishers like Feral uses such technology to port their games to linux, they did the translation at the source code layer before compiling it to native binaries. it is like those interpreters vs compilers misunderstanding among many people. Like I said, not a virtualization. Microsoft does the same thing for its apis when they do major windows release. these are called service packs. they are more rare nowadays but during the xp to Windows Vista eras, they were very much a necessity to get older Windows programs to run. They are considered runtimes because they provide an "environment" with all the necessary stuff for a program to run during their "running-time"(lol). 
 
Steam ships its own runtime btw. it is here ValveSoftware/steam-runtime: A runtime environment for Steam applications (github.com)
This is how valve can get steam and all the games it ships with to run on all major Linux distros regardless of whatever breaking changes and differences between distro and between distro releases. It still doesn't solve the problem of many games breaking because of whatever newer release nvidia drivers breaking the games or devs bundles in their own dependencies that no longer function on the newer distros. i had the latter issues when playing Star Rulers 2. I had to replace the .so shared library file in its game directory with the newer updated one to get the game to run. like I said, although Valve made it easy, it doesn't fix the lack of apathy from the game publishers and devs.

Nope, i never had a steam deck although, you can use it as a desktop as well. You just need to exit out of steam and into desktop mode. It does regular desktop stuffs just fine. 
 
Unless you are working with windows only applications and technology, you should be more than comfortable with developing in a Linux, or at least an unix like enviorment. All IDEs are avaliable, minus the platform exclusive xcode and visual studio of course. In fact, it is pretty much unavoidable for many software dev, especially fullstack web dev. All web frameworks like node, asp net, php ect are all available and cross-platform on Linux and are generally meant to be hosted on Linux web servers. For government and many corporate/enterprise dev, POSIX compatibility and POSIX compatible softwares is in fact a requirement. It is good to get familiar even if you don't daily drive. Most people generally code on windows or macos machines(for web applications) and deploy/test the stuffs to/on linux via ssh but developing locally on Linux itself is a great experience too. I had done it professionally for a couple of years before my current company force me to use mac as my work computer 🙄

I won't bother creating another wall of text when it's absolutely obvious if you're biased or not. For a daily Linux user though, your level of complete ignorance is astounding, truly.
 
Nvidia have open sourced their kernel modules and provided the firmware needed for full GPU usage with an open source Vulkan driver called NVK. It works pretty damn well with DX11 games, I know it cause I use it personally. Are you using NVK as well daily? Please le me know what you think.
So, this fairytale that only AMD and Intel contribute to the Mesa drivers is all uninformed misinformation when just today the former nouveau lead, now an Nvidia employee, dropped 156 patches for nouveau using the new firmware.
 
You are not going to be disappointed by anything. I have over 600 games on. Steam/Epic/Ubisoft/EA/whatever and they ALL, without single exception, work. I know cause I've tested them ALL. On AMD with about 20% more performance than on Windows. I have been testing games on Linux vs Windows for 3 years now so if you don't know what  you're talking about better not talk at all.
 
I won't even get into the videos you posted, LTT's one being the greatest troll in the history of tech videos. If I wanted I can find 100 videos of people being glad they switched. But I'm not gonna do that cause it's extremely obvious who's misinformed and biased. So please, keep making your case even worse by stating even more inaccuracies.
 
I will say that I have converted countless people to Linux and I'm not even their personal tech support. Amazing, yet true.
 
Believe what you like as I said, but don't spread inacurracies and misconceptions.

Try steam deck buddy. It beats out nientendo switch as a gaming console. Heck, I used to play bootlegged nientendo 3ds and switch games on Linux via an emulator, mostly pokemons, from 3rd gen on Gameboy advance all the way to the lastest gen scarlet and violet for the switch, run smooth as butter(please don't sue me nientendo). 
 
Problem arise when people want to play the latest Windows triple As or when the devs no longer update/fix their games for the latest version of the distros(looking at you feral) or roll out some updates to their games that break on Linux(looking at you paradox interactive). 

Some people are just confidently wrong. They believe what they say and say it confidently as fact even if factually wrong. What amazes me is how many people, especially laymen, would believe it as long as these mixed in some misunderstood, misued, and abused jargons from the internet. 
 
That said, Linux games do break a lot, even the NATIVE linux games. I have several Linux games from feral that no longer work. A couple from paradox interactive too(Victoria 3 no longer worked). A lot of it has to do with nvidia drivers. Vic3 can not detect my descrete gpu for example while others broke because of some xyz absence or incompatibility of some shared libary the game rely on. All of these can be fixed if devs do good quality QA, roll out patches, and fix their games but they don't do this on Linux, I am pretty sure windows is the only os they ever test their games on. People have more luck running windows games via steam play than playing native linux versions for some games these days. 
 
Open source games are a different matter. If maintain well, these will run. If they don't run on Linux, more likely than not, they won't run on windows or any other operating system for that matter either. 

Tell me you've never used Linux without telling me you've never used Linux. Or even a Steam Deck for that matter.

you can get deals on individual parts you won't get in a build, eg my first build gave free RAM with every board and at the time RAM was unbelievably expensive, way more than a board cost.
 
My current and last build, well one part every month until I had a PC that worked and could add more to later or save for that one big buy that ends up with the risk of no money saved as a home crisis swallows all the saved so far cash.
 
Guess saying its easy to build a PC and I'm male isn't a reason in a woke world?

Webpage is a gui you know that right? In fact, it is the most popular front end facing gui out of anything else out there, especially if your application needs to communicate with another piece of software, say a server for example.

many things are worth researching before you buy and costly when scammed.
cars
house
financial products and securities
marriage(lol)
 
computer is not one of them. just buy something from a well-known brand and call it a day. you won't be scammed. 

you have zero say in how a company operates unless you are 
A) a significant shareholder who owned controlling/voting shares of the company
B) an officer of the company and even then, need to be upper level management, generally a c suite.
C) anti trust government agency
 
so you see? you have less of a say than even Linus who probably owns several Apple stocks giving him a vote in annual shareholder meetings, either directly or indirectly through mutal funds and brokerage.  
 
if you want a say in how a company does its business, buy 500 billion worth of apple stocks, vote out the board of directors and put yourself in charge as the CEO. easy eh? 
 
edit: actually you need 1.34 trillions worth of apple stocks since apple right now sits at 2.68 trillion market cap. who wants to be a trillionare?!!

If TLDR is correct, then I agree.
