I run Scrivener, which is a writing software that's only for Mac & Windows (well, there is a Linux version but it's ancient), but I just run that through Wine rather than a VM. That's about the only thing I haven't found a good equivalent for on Linux though.

To add to what others have said, I'd recommend installing Windows first, then Linux. Windows tends to assume it's the only OS that exists, so if there's anything else on the boot sector (eg. your fresh new Linux install), it'll just overwrite it without even checking lol.
Not sure about Fedora, but it's already in extra-testing in Arch and has already been merged into master in NixOS apparently, so it should be hitting the general channels pretty soon hopefully.
Edit: apparently the Fedora 40 beta has Plasma 6 but I didn't check that myself, I just saw someone mention it.
I look forward to the havoc this will cause with all my themes and widgets in the coming weeks lol.
TBH I've been using Linux for over a decade, can install & set up Arch from scratch etc. and I still don't understand Docker.
Not sure if this works with drive encryption since it comes before the OS, but could this maybe be done with a YubiKey or something like that?
That way, you can plug it in and not worry about typing the password every time, but then it's also secure if someone takes your PC? As long as you remove the key when it's off of course.
I agree fully. I basically never download music anymore, because I can get all the music I can think of on Spotify for a few bucks a month. And when everything was on Steam I just got everything from there. Now that all the games companies are bringing out their own stores and launchers, that's starting to change again.
This is a lesson that the movie & TV industry seems hell-bent on not learning.
And ironically when we do get to the point where an AI can string together a semi-coherent narrative, the first things it'll start to produce will probably be exactly the sort of mid-level dross that Tyler Perry likes to make.
Mull is a good one for Android.
Hmm, I have a soldering iron and a 3D printer. You might be right. Thanks for the link!
I had a go on a VR helmet and thought it was kind of fun, but at the moment the options seem to be an affordable one that's infested with Facebook nonsense, or the Valve/Apple ones which are presumably less intrusive but cost a fortune. So I'm fine to just do without until someone figures out how to do it in a cheap, open-source kind of way, like the raspberry pi of VR helmets.
That might not even be possible, but in that case I'm also fine to just do without TBH.
I'm not a secure boot expert, but it sounds like Mint should be supported anyway, according to Wikipedia:
