If you're installing an OS you should absolutely understand what the root account is. That's like buying a car without understanding the concept of keys.

ER uses anti-cheat...

The base game already had some pretty badly designed fights that rely on deceptive animations and timing for their difficulty, and the DLC really triples down on that. The more games they make the more bullshit the fights get. I like a challenging fight, but when you have to die to a boss 20-30 times just to see all of their attacks, and the attacks are designed to not be legible the first time you see them... It's just not very fun game design. I think FROM is a victim of their own success and this is the inevitable result of constantly trying to one-up the last hardest flight in the series. At a certain point it stops being rewarding and just becomes a grind.

It's Linux. You can remove the restriction yourself.

It's not that hard to either give your user account perma-sudo or to remove the timeout so you only have to enter the password once per login. Slightly more involved would be manually changing which actions require root authentication.

You can definitely disable the touch pad in any distro. Try the steps in the best answer here

Ext4 for most home users, because it's simple and intuitive. Btrfs for anyone who has important data or wants to geek out about file systems. It's got some really cool features, but to actually use most of them you'll have to do some learning.

Stop using GitHub. Especially if you're working on anything that corpo interests will frown on, but just generally, there are plenty of alternatives (both git and non-git) that aren't owned by Microsoft.

I find the game in general pretty mid. I'd rather play DRG 100% of the time.

Satisfactory is pretty amazing. I won't claim it's better but that margin is not as big as you're making it sound.

Okay... I don't agree and I think it's very objectively obvious that there are huge differences in the UX and design philosophy.

My mom is not technical in the slightest and she's been very happily using a laptop with Fedora Silverblue on it for 4+ years. I've had to help her with two problems, one of which didn't even end up being a Linux problem.
