Things have changed since those days fam. For example, if you install Steam on Ubuntu (snaps) today it's highly likely to break. If you want a solid Ubuntu recommendation go with the downstreams: Mint, PopOS, etc.
Death is the easy way out. Make them understand and regret their actions, then have to live with them. If that's psychologically impossible then they belong in a mental hospital, where they should have been before committing heinous acts.
Mine was at 16 because my foreskin stopped growing. I honestly would have preferred to have it done at birth before I could remember the pain (like my brothers).
Here's the state of the art VR: https://www.bigscreenvr.com/. You'd need that plus Valve base stations and controllers, so about $1500 total. It's miles ahead of anything anyone else is offering, especially Apple. You can't demo it to others though, it really does only work for the person that it's made for.
Been thinking about this myself, and have been seriously considering making it.
As for maximizing, you're really just zooming into the canvas (though not a visual zoom, more of a "sizing zoom"). "Zoom" levels could be used for a lot more than maximizing: think StarCraft camera hotkeys.
One of the major issues I haven't been able to think through is how to get templates right. If I were to use this as a daily driver, I would want to be able to place down predefined layouts and actually start programs in them. E.g. one terminal running a text editor, and another running a shell below it. I haven't figured out the UX to make that efficient.
I had a really bad experience with a $30 hand scanner and Brother support (they included the wrong size calibration sheet in the packaging and refused to replace it, and were assholes/user blaming about it). I definitely did not want to deal with that for a $400 printer/scanner combo. I went with Xerox 6515 instead, which has been going solid for 4 years - black toner is at 25%, the rest are mostly full. I have never used it with USB, only Ethernet (plugged in network). Works great with Windows, Linux, and Mac. The scanner does great work.
Cheap printers are cheap because they make up the cost with ink. If you want something decent then bite the bullet and fork over more cash upfront. A printer designed for corporate/office work will typically be more durable - but buyer beware, may have "features" that only look good on a sales presentation. Do your research, avoid cloud storage/fax/etc.
I also got my godmother an Epson Ecotank, due to simplicity. It has been going swimmingly. Their "innovation" is (massive, mind you) refillable tanks in the printer, you must buy bottles of ink. That makes ink DRM impossible, but their ink is cheap enough that bootleg ink is unnecessary.
If you can't afford a more expensive printer right now then take trips to your local FedEx/whatever and put some money each time you do towards a decent printer. DO NOT get a temporary cheap printer, ink will easily cost you the same as a decent printer over a short period of time.
Worms are near impossible to install on an immutable system. You can't just write to /usr/share/bin or some other truck to hide your binary. It doesn't help at all with exfiltration
