It‘s the first of a kind. Let it have downsides. The alternative is sustainable aviation fuel made from air, water & green electricity, which is really expensive and isn‘t available in the necessary amount.
There is a thing in software development which is called technical debt, which accumulates over time usually invisible to the user, but causes bigger issues down the road.
Bigger numbers always sound more impressive. Many hair dryers also have a power rating of 1200W. Also some policy package costing 700 million somehow sounds more than 1.1 trillion.
Working at Valve: 'A Fearless Adventure' or 'Lord of the Flies'?
Chaos Monkeys: Obscene Fortune and Random Failure in Silicon Valley
Note: I am not saying this is bad practice. These companies try to offer you the best work environment and a very good salary. If you like working then this right for you and it will not necessarily feel like work. Also things might have changed in the last few years at Meta.
Jobs at Valve or Meta are very demanding and people can usually only cope with it if your life is your job and the many hours don‘t feel like working. These people are obsessed with what they are doing. It can be very soul crushing if you either loose that passion or want to have a life outside your job (like friends, a romantic partner, a time intensive hobby etc.).
I use Ubuntu since 8 years on my laptop and it has been good experience. I don‘t tinker with it much and it just works. On servers I use Debian which is rock solid as well.
It is a good platform definitely worthwhile the money. Especially if you already know some YouTubers who are on Nebula.
I just wish you could turn off all political content. I just don‘t believe that political journalism / creator economy / influencers mix well together. This is true for YouTube as well, but because Nebula has less content there are more often recommended.
I know that some people will miss it and act accordingly. The car industry in Europe build up more electric car production capacity than people were willing to buy. The industry transformed faster than society. They are now correcting their plans which is so sad to see. I know that for some an electric car is just unaffordable, but for many others it is just too inconvenient, unreasonably priced or they wait for hydrogen cars (I had these discussions a lot). Climate change is what is inconvenient. There is no time too waste.
I hate this sentiment so much, because it implies that everyone can just wait for change: "Just go buy another gas powered car until that rail road line is built".
If you can afford an electric car (instead of your current gas powered car) today please buy one or you are part of the problem. If you don‘t need it anymore, because of that rail road line, sell it. Electric cars are much better for the climate & the surroundings. They can also be important for electric grid stability.
I assume 0.45 $/kWh? Where do you live? This seams really expensive for the USA. In Germany (where everyone is complaining about high consumer electricity prices) the price is 0.24 to 0.30 €/kWh. I always thought those were high.
Btw electricity prices in Germany have not gone up, because of the Iran war. This is because a majority is produced by wind and solar. Natural gas, oil, diesel & gasoline have gone up significantly in price.
Official support & blessing is always better and involves less toil for maintainers in reverse engineering APIs and keeping them uptodate. For example it is much better if game developers take Linux support seriously than Valve running around fixing all the dumpster fires.
Heroic is an alternative frontend for digital game stores (which are not natively supported on Linux). You can sign in with your Epic or GOG account and play, update, etc. your games just like you would with Steam.

I just listened to https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/ruff-talk-vr/id1568389515?i=1000610060284
She is definitely very passionate and obsessed about working on VR tech doing it in her freetime for month presumably years even after she left Meta.

I still own my PS2 and it works

The extroverts I met usually get along very well

Additionally since Copenhagen was mentioned: In the last ten years car ownership in Copenhagen actually increased (https://kk.statistikbank.dk/statbank5a/SelectVarVal/saveselections.asp). Just because people take the bike every day doesn‘t mean that they don‘t own a car.
PS: I live in the city center and don‘t own a car. Never have.
You also need a license to use Redhat Linux

Why is this not yet in main? It always annoyed me that streaming renders on the actual display.

Can we just move on?
Seriously go for a long walk. It works wonders.
I use the sharing services regularly and they work just fine :) Especially great when the tram is on strike
