I switched from ubuntu to debian when 12 was released and it's been fine. Only thing i was worried about was running WoW via lutris but had no issues.

So when my SO windows pc died we bought some newish parts and i installed debian on it as well. Also installed chrome since that's her browser of choice. She's still getting used to gnome, but all she needs is browser, WoW, and libreoffice, which is close enough that it hasnt been an issue. She doesn't even know how to update the system.

Don't browsers allow you to do form fillable these days? I swear i just filled one with firefox the other day. Maybe that's too limited?

For combining pdfs, pdftk from the command line is my goto. The command line interface for it isn't too complicated.

Yup, Google Now was actually useful and helpful, so of course they had to get rid of it.

Does set-default-sink change an already current stream? Or do you need move-sink-input.

I've looked at the manpages but was a bit overwhelmed and didn't try to make my own script. Your solution gives me motivation to do so. I also use sway and pipewire. Though I use fuzzel for my launcher.

pavucontrol. I switch between usb headset and my external speakers all the time. Continually going to this gui is kind of annoying.

My first linux install was crunchbang. I don't remember why I picked it. Perhaps i liked the minimalistic look. Ended up not really liking openbox and I vaguely remember running into some problem with debian's old packages, though I honestly can't remember what. So I switched to ubuntu, which was great for me as a linux noob.

Nope. Played it all the way through when it first came out. But haven't touched it since then.

I fired up fallout 1 after watching it.

I just built a amd 7600 system in January 2024 and had no issues. Not sure that counts as very new but it was for me!

Yup. I teach at a university. It used to be adequate for instructions to say something along the lines of

open the file C://Folder/anotherfolder/subfolder/document.ext

I encounter more and more students every year that have no idea how to do this.

User you are replying to wasn't replying to OP?

Maybe my reading comprehension is bad, but it seemed obvious to me user was replying to a specific comment seeing how it was a reply to that nerd comment instead of OP and post used the phrase "this comment".
