It might be a bit tighter than Fedora, I haven't tried Fedora so I wouldn't know but Flatpaks can still be installed as user, no pw. All mine are, by default.

I'm lazy - just gmail pinned in a tab on my browser on my Linux desktop, the browser is always open anyway. Default mail client on iOS/iPadOS.
I've used Thunderbird in the past. The redesign was nice but it's still a bit cludgy to use somehow, compared to gmail web.
It's fixed. In general no distro is fail safe, recently even an immutable distro (our current hopeful advance in update reliability) had a hickup on an update that required manual intervention. It basically boils down to that it's not possible to test for everything, we can only hope to continually add more test cases and improve human procedures based on post mortems.
I’ve been using OSMC on two of my TVs for years. First on RPis, then on Vero boxes. They connect via SMB to my NAS for content. OSMC/Kodi can play almost anything without needing wasteful transcoding. I use them daily.
For Netflix/Prime it’s either built in on the TV or running on a Firestick. Interestingly one can sideload Kodi on a Firestick, so an OSMC device isn’t necessary in that scenario.
Meh, if just wanting a lightweight laptop that's fast even when unplugged there's people who would be OK paying $700 for a M1 MBAir or a bit more for a 16GB version. They're great laptops, the Rust compiler is very fast on M1/2 and with no fan noise. If buying Apple Refurbished they're like new.
Yeah, I am comfortable with most DE's, I'm flexible but I prefer KDE+Wayland.
Dolphin is poorly threaded though. For example: If I drag a large file from a network share to the desktop I can not drag another one to the desktop until the first copy have completed. If I connect my VPN or just an away-from-home wifi, Dolphin freezes, probably because it can't find the local SMB connections in the "Remotes" group.
I'm also watching COSMIC, it has a very well thought out architecture though I suspect the first version will be too simplistic in terms of features - for example vs Dolphin.
It's very exciting. It fixes a number of bugs that exist on Intel and AMD as well and has a lot of polishing and features. It'll be the defining Wayland experience for DEs and gaming.
Yeah also I think we should be careful about calling anything we find annoying Enshittification, otherwise we'll dilute the concept and it loses all meaning. I see this happening with hyperbole all the time, for example one of the strongest words in the dictionary "hate" have almost no meaning as people use it for even the mildest dislikes instead of utilizing a richer vocabulary. Let's reserve Enshittification for Xitter and friends.
By dragging their asses you mean adding it it their very first beta driver just a few weeks after it was merged into Wayland/Xwayland?
Was a student, couldn't afford CDs.
Nowadays I
- don't want to subscribe to too many streaming services, each just having a few things I want to watch. Also I broke my neck and I'm now on disability, there's no budget to waste, at all.
- Like to watch old shows and "rare" movies that aren't available anywhere.
This looks like a fallacy in the argument. Ubuntu is generally known as being very stable as well, they tend to avoid breaking changes over the lifetime of a release and there are LTS releases to boot.
You seem upset. Blink twice if someone is forcing you to use it.
