Who would pay for stuff? Ads are not inherently bad, it's misuse is. I wouldn't mind a website with one or two ads per page. I hate these sites with an ad after each paragraph. I use Firefox with Ublock origin, Privacy badger and use Next DNS in my router because of Ad excesses. Ultimately the greed of website publishers is their own demise.
On a Linux desktop, obviously.
Plenty of big box stores here carry computers. There are also also electronics megastores like Mediamarkt, Saturn, and others.
Also, a larger capacity one is better, and it's likely you'll find a secondhand one with more capacity/features for a similar price.
Linux users are like vegetarians Arch users like vegans. One is a dietary choice, the other a cult.
I installed my first distro, slackware, from diskettes in the 90s, so Im not exactly a newbie. I now use Mint ( just works but you can get under the hood fine), with both a dual boot windows and a VM for when I don't want to reboot, since I use a few programs that are windows only. The setup works fine for me. That said I'm playing with NixOS. Definitely not for the masses, but awesome.
I hope that downvotes are mainly due to the cheapskate remark, because most of the post is quite correct. The fact that people think they have a right to enjoy entertaiment that costs millions to produce and which not only make a profit, but also emplys thousands, many super skilled, foe free, is just plain wrong.
Volts measure voltage?
