Yes. I don't fear updates anymore but then i install everything, AUR, flapjacks, several DE's and break the system.
I've come to realize that I like tinkering since DOS, I've accepted it and I shall be installing arch again this weekend
Maybe there isn't a market for it. Probably most crackers don't bother with Linux versions and the Linux community always tends to support FOSS software.
Bazzite comes packaged with the essentials so that anyone can use it without using terminal. Flatpak is enabled by default and this is the best approach.
You can check it out below. https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/
If you're not comfortable yet using any other terminal package manager other than apt, you can still use bazzite and learn with time. You can install most apps through Discover (KDE) or Gnome software
I think you nailed the first paragraph.
My comment is just to remind that OP is already running an immutable distro on the Steam deck. Valve OS is an arch based immutable distro.
Bazzite was assembled, by some very cool people, to bring the same features of the Steam deck using the already tested atomic editions of fedora to a multitude of "PCs". Saves time on managing the "Linux" system and focuses on the gaming features, apps and drivers.
I've been following her for the past year, it's a pity she doesn't have a one time contribution scheme set up. I also can't support everyone but judging from the donations on KDE people do tend to give small amounts and it really helps. Gonna try to contact her and see if she can accept something like that
It's not just Asia, my parents are from the 1950s, in an European country, and they had the same mentality. Money through hard work was the equivalent of a good life. Our holidays were never fun. No one knew what enjoying life is.

It uses the soulseek network (an old favourite of mine) installed though docker accessible through a browser.
If you want a desktop app, I recommend Nicotine+ for Linux or visit https://www.slsknet.org/news/node/1 for Windows.
The artists I like don't come around where I live, so I can't support through live music. I've done it in the past when I lived in a large city. In the end we're all trying our best.
And we all have our use cases, there's no right way to listen to music.
I live in Europe. Had Spotify for about 5 years, stopped paying and using 6 months ago.
I usually buy from Bandcamp, mostly non mainstream music, and download in FLAC and store it on my server. I can stream through the app on my phone when I'm out.
For the ones I can't find on Bandcamp, or albums from major labels, I tend to find it on Qobuz in MP3. Pricing trends to be similar everywhere.
My pirating nowadays is mainly for old music or establish artists.
My partner is a long time gamer on Windows. Her Win11 laptop doesn't have the same performance as mine so I setup a gaming account for both.
I barely told her anything on how to "operate" it and after a couple of times she has no problem on her own.
Just now, I came back to the pc and see kwrite open with a message from her. Never told her how to do that. She just searched for "notepad" on the menu like she would on Windows.
I work in Windows (company provided laptop) so on average I spend less time on my Linux PC. And I completely agree with you.
KDE as been my go-to desktop because of the familiarity. Some people argue that it has too much costumisation but the defaults give you everything to run a modern PC. While still allowing you to venture into the "terminal".
Can we get a CSI style story detailing everything that happened between taking the joint and getting into a murderous craze, and also where dafuq did he get that marijuana? 🤣
