Yup. I’m Bo7a.
Do you know the meme with the knucklehead on the left at the bottom of the bell-curve, the smashed brain moron at the top, and the sage at the right?
With this comment you are very close to coming off as the smashed brain moron at the top of the curve.
Everyone has preferences, but your preferences do not map to you being superior in any way. And just as importantly - you are also a beginner to some people. It would serve you well to remember that.

The periphery of small towns covered in makeshift tents and shanty style campers would disagree with your statement.
These encampments used to be for seasonal workers passing through. But more and more become year-round all the time.
You are certainly correct about the bulk of homeless making their way towards the cities, but there are a growing number of those who don’t.
Hey me. Nice to see me out in the wild.
I chucked most of my computer stuff, but kept a laptop for work, and a somewhat aging desktop to game on rainy nights, and moved to a piece of forest far from others.
When we first got out here there wasn’t even enough space to park our truck. I cleared enough Forest to park our travel trailer and live in while we built a tiny 12 ftx30 ft house.
Now I spend my mornings feeding birds and doing minimal tending on a very wild (by design) garden.
Strongly suggest others who can do so to give it a try.
Especially people who are in any type of job where systems, thinking and infrastructure was part of your daily thought process.
Life out here is very hard at first as we set up the infrastructure but everyday it gets a little bit easier and eventually the workload should be smaller here than it is at a normal job. That’s when I’ll quit my normal job.
Everything you say is misconstrued through some lens over which you have no control.
example:
Me: Hey do you want to go for a walk when you are done what you are working on?
Them: Why are you always so critical of how long things take?
Me: What. The. Fuck?
Thanks. I won’t tell them or it’ll just go to their head.
I know a single data point is pretty worthless. But here is our most recent experience.
When we suddenly lost one of our 5 year old brother cats, the one who was still with us got lethargic and very obviously wasn’t himself. We waited about 2 months then brought two rescue kittens home about a week apart, and did a fairly relaxed intro for each before bringing in the next.
He hissed at both of them for the first 5 minutes when physical contact was allowed but otherwise he left them alone for a few days each.
Within a week they were sleeping together. Now they can often all three be found in a big furpile licking each other and he is back to his playful self. We considered not getting another friend for him. But we are so very happy we did.

Roughly the same here. And yeah this hasn’t been a problem since the very first years. And even then it was just some config tweaks.
I don’t get this. It is a common statement on lemmy especially among the new users. I have been daily-driving linux for many many years, and every install of a new distro gets 3 or 4 DEs added to play around with and find the ‘flavour of the year’ for myself.
I don’t recall this ever being a real problem. Ever.
We live in a small (12ftx28ft) house where we heat with a wood stove and have pets so our dust factor is pretty high.
I use 10x10 merv13 filters and a modified bathroom exhaust fan that sits in my rafters. It completely changed our air quality. I change the filters when they get gunked up every 10-14 days which may be a bit expensive at ~8 bucks each filter, but it is worth it for the clear nose and sinuses!
I have never had a comment make me feel this old.

You can. That is how I use it.

Its a great day for toast!
Have you been paying attention to the news coming out of texas? I’m guessing not.
Your WORKstation is for working. Budget devices are not for working.
I actually don’t disagree much about the Dev/UX parts of your comment. But you should take note that I was replying to the statement:
There doesn’t seem to be a “discover” feature
