This was my mistake, but I don't think people recommended Debian as a desktop OS - I believe it was recommended as a server

This is one of the reasons I love Flatpak so much
I don't have a "top 5", but the main thing was outdated software. I went to Debian because I wanted "stability" and heard that it was good, but it ended up meaning the "15-minute bugs" I encountered weren't fixed for basically the whole year I used it, all the apps looked like they were made in 2007, and if it weren't for Linux forums I would never have known that there were more "modern" Linux apps, and I would have been left believing Linux development basically died
Moving from Windows as an intermediate user was the worst. I hated Linux for like a year. I knew just enough quirks about Windows to get 95% of what I wanted, 95% of the time, and on Linux I had to start from scratch.
Now of course I love I made the switch, as my Linux proficiency let me customize the heck out of everything, but damn, that first year...
Don't miss the forest for the trees.
Do whatever makes you most comfortable so you don't go back to Windows or MacOS.
Greg sent out the patch but won't respond to mail list questions. Sad to see Linux leadership bend the knee
Last time I tried Genymotion (a few years ago) their Linux support existed, but sucked
As someone who follows the startup space (and is thinking of starting their own, non-AI driven startup), the issue is all of the easily solvable problems have already been solved. The only thing that shakes up the tree is when new tech comes along and makes some of the old problems easy to solve.
So take a look at crypto - If you wanted to make a tip bot on Telegram, before crypto that was really hard. You needed to register with something like PayPal, have the recipient register with PayPal, etc etc etc. After crypto it was "Hey this person sent you 5$, use this private key if you want to recover it" (btw I made this service and it was used a lot).
Now look at AI - Imagine making a service that detects CSAM before AI took off. As an aside, I did NOT make this service, but I know a group of people who did. Imagine trying to make this without the AI boom - you'd need millions of images for training data, a PhD in machine learning, and so much more. Now, anyone can make it in their basement.
The point is, investors KNOW the bubble is a bubble and that it will pop. It doesn't matter though. They're looking for people who will solve problems that previously cost 1bln to solve with only 1mln of funding. If even 1% of their companies pay off, they make a profit.
