Visual Studio is meant for C/C++/C#, IntelliJ is made for Java (as the name might suggest). JetBrains has IDEs for C (CLion) and C# (Rider) though. All JetBrains IDEs are available for Linux. Visual Studio isn't, Visual Studio Code is. I recommend using an optimized version of Visual Studio Code called VSCodium.

You can use JetBrains Rider for C# (.NET), it's available natively for Linux, you can download it as a flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/com.jetbrains.Rider

Really can't recommend GNOME to new users coming over from Windows. Either pick Cinnamon (Linux Mint) or KDE Plasma (openSUSE/Fedora KDE).

I understand why, but dumbphones aren't good solutions for most people's problems. They have many disadvantages, for example they don't offer secure (encrypted) communications (except for the Punkt MP02 which has Signal support, but it also has other issues), you don't get a proper keyboard, no touchscreen, and you often can't even look something up on Wikipedia. You can't listen to music/podcasts, use the phone for navigation or take notes. Most people just end up getting frustrated by a dumb phone, and switch back to a smartphone and continue wasting their time on social media. A decluttered smart phone with restrictions for social media usage is much more effective. The videos I linked in my original comment explain this pretty well.

Don't. buy. games. with. Denuvo. (or any DRM, but Denuvo is the worst)

Most titles on GOG and itch.io are DRM-free. You can also subscribe to this Steam group to see which games use Denuvo and avoid them.

More like framebuffer corruption

Right, that makes sense

This is pretty well explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OybGwwGc20

You. don't. need. a. dumb. phone. to fix your social media addiction

Basically every modern smartphone has features that allow you to restrict your usage of distracting apps/websites. You can recreate a minimalistic dumb phone on your smartphone using free & open source software or your operating system's built-in tools/features. There are a few good videos about this:

The one thing that impresses me about consoles though: How tf do they manage to run even graphics-intensive games on such low-end hardware? I mean sure, frame rates aren't great, but the fact that these games still run and are somehow playable amazes me.

Sure, but btrfs has some built-in tools for this and makes it pretty easy
