You could see it as time invested. For me, it's something I do in my free time, on an old laptop, for the fun of it. And for the learning aspect of it.
My main system also runs Linux, but I don't tamper much with it. It just runs. Reliable, predictable, boring. Boring is good for important systems. But that's not why I run Linux.
It's difficult to be disappointed with something that is free.
Actually, one shouldn't be disappointed with things. Only people can disappoint you.
I was disappointed in the Debian crew when they standardized on systemd when it clearly wasn't ready yet.
And I was disappointed in the people running some distros that made Wayland the standard when it clearly wasn't ready yet (a few apps I rely on don't support it or run poorly on Wayland even now).
Other than that, free software, free choice, and a lot of learning possibilities. You just have to adapt your expectations. Change hardware, change software, change distros, and learn.
If I recall correctly, Descent 3 was made by another developer team and it was quite a different game. But Descent 1 and 2 are favorites of mine. Some of the original developers made Overload. Try it, if you haven't already.
In my country it's becoming ever more common that when I visit someone and that person lives in an apartment, the building has a doorman/security and they ask for my id.
Also all supermarkets want to know your id number, but there at least I can say "no thanks".

Trying a new distros is a 10 minutes endeavor. Tops. 🤷♂️ And there's Ventoy.
Modern? Gnome developers were always like that.

Thanks. Already subscribed. I haven't preordered, but I will probably get Children of Infinity on day one.
Star Control II was something else.
Where?
All of them.
Uncharted 4 Collection. Bought on sale on GOG. It's basically Pitfall (for those who remember), but 3D and with good graphics. 😬
Never played an Uncharted game before. It's been good fun so far.
It run out of the box on Linux with the Heroic Games Launcher and latest Proton GE.
Eh... Tons? 🤔

A short hike.
Yes, we do.
It is very easy to understand.
We should empower new users and show them better ways.
Sounds like your doing passwords wrong.
Vollkorn. The best I could find.
I buy from Steam because of the excellent Linux support, and Steam input.
I buy from GOG because I like owning my games and I like preserving good old games.
Every time I buy a game I make a choice based on those criteria.
I don't like owning games twice.
The choice isn't always easy, but that's OK.

Maybe don't try to drill a hole with a hammer...
There are many user friendly KDE distros.
There are many distros tailored for software development. Some of them certainly use KDE.
Linux is learning. Don't be afraid to learn new things. But don't make your work more difficult on purpose.
Yes, pretty much this. I have the 8bitdo's Pro controllers (the first one and the 2) and I'm pretty happy with them. But that's me.
