Seriously, just switch to Wayland already xD

If eventually fines do get calculated on their total income (which is possible, they can issue fines up to 2% of total yearly income if I remember correctly) and these fines are starting to come in more frequently it gets quite expensive really fast.

Last time i checked he was at about 400b so not a trillionaire, but 120m is still absolutely nothing.

Drugging someone is maybe not manslaughter (depends on what drug you use and what dose you use) but it is always assault and can be prosecuted as such.

This does not matter. In a criminal context weapon usually means something capable of inflicting great harm as a tool commit or execure a crime. If you steal something while having a screwdriver in your backpack you are screwed (literally) since you could have used it for executing the robbery. While the rules here may not be that strict (possession of said drugs while commuting sexual assault) using drugs to commit sexual assault of any form would be the same as using a knife to force the victim to not resist. There are no further classifications like chemical or mechanical weapon, since it does not matter.

Idk, i really disliked the UI and especially the application launcher.

Another good reason for having GUIs is, that you can learn the CLI while not being dependant on it.

Havent done that (except for games ofc)

The wiki can be rough at some times, but you are guaranteed to learn a shit ton about Linux Ehen reading it. It gives you the commands you have to copy/paste most of the time, so its not to bad.

Can't speak for you, but trouble shooting, even if you dont know what you do, is at least in my experience way easier. A terminal command does the exact same thing, no matter on which system (OK, there are differences like package manager, but you get what mean) and no matter when. On Windows you get 10 screenshots of a UI that has changed 10 times since the creation of the guide and no or a completely useless error message if something does not work. As long as you are not trying to debug big ass problems that affect core components of your system (bootloader, drives, stuff with the kernel) it is in fact quite hard to fuck up your entire system (it can happen with Updates on Arch, but this is usually quite rare). As long as you are not touching anything else except your /home directory you should not be able to break your entire system. Also if you are still scared of losing date, there are ways of creating system snapshots (backups). Backing up your home directory is enough because this means, that all the files you use daily are backed up.

Since you mentioned dependencies, here's a quick answer to what this means. There are a shit ton of programming libraries. A library has the use case, that a developer does not have to reinvent the wheel every time they want to do something. You dont want to write a complete library for GUIs every time, but instead use standardised well maintained and documented libraries. Since Programms use these they depend on the user having this library (or alternatively Programms) installed. This is called a dependency. In most cases dependency errors mean, that an expected library is not installed. In this case simply copy the name, and search "install name Linux (or your Distros)" and you are almost guaranteed to find a tutorial for installing it.

My best tip is, that you take the time to learn the basics of Linux. What is a package manager and which one does my system use, how do I navigate directories, how do I create and delete files, how do I edit files. How do I copy or move files. If you know the basics of these things you know most of the stuff you need to know to understand what you are doing. If you want to read more about a specific command you can also always refer to the man page of said command. For this simply type in man "command name" (e.G. "man cd" this gives you the basic infos about the CD command (used for navigating directorys))

I’m too lazy to troubleshoot in Wine.

I've been daily driving Linux for about 3 years now and one major tip I can give is to avoid using non Linux apps as far as possible. When I started with Linux I also tried to get windows apps running on Linux, but this, at least as far as I remember, never worked the way I wanted ans always caused more troubles. Currently I'm at a point where I dont even know when I used plain wine (I am not counting proton) the last time. It has been 2 years at least. I Am using native Linux apps for everything I do. Much less trouble shooting, no need to learn wine additionally to the command line and much less prone to breaking because of an update.

I can really suggest Mint for beginners simply because it has an UI for about everything you need somewhat regularly. This means, that you can use GUIs to get familiar and aren't forced to know your way around the terminal. Its the Ideal beginner Distros (at least from my experience)
