It's shocking how much faster Linux runs compared to a modern windows installation. I do worry however that as more and more programmers focus on web apps that we will eventually see the same problem on Linux as well. Developing desktop applications for Linux is already a pain and the ease of making modern web apps will amplify the problem. At least Linux won't have all of the awful bloat that Microsoft runs in the background on windows these days, but I don't think we will be able to escape from web app hell on Linux.

One of the Chinese word for red panda is literally Firefox, 火狐, that's where the web browsers name comes from.
I enjoy playing it, but even completely new players can see that ravens are overpowered and there is very little interaction.
With my family and friends we all preferred Dominion and Viticulture as engine builders. Wingspan is ridiculously pretty though and it's worth trying.
Maybe instance owners could have a recommended subscriptions option that new users could default to. That way new users can experience seeing content on other instances right away. Different instances with different standards could customize their new user experience.
How much programming experience do you have? You might want to start extra small with some games that are just played in the terminal, like tic tac toe, battleship, and hangman to practice good object oriented programming in a small project before you move on to Unity or Godot. You really need to understand object oriented programming well because Unity has some very complex classes, you are expected to understand inheritance, and so on.
When you do start with Godot or Unity start with a Mario clone, keep it really simple and finish the project.
I was looking for it on here. GIMP is way too difficult for most people. Krita feels like it can do just about everything an amateur would want to do with Photoshop and makes it painless.
I think having "Active" as default is unfortunate too, if a new user sees the top post was from two days ago they might assume the whole platform is inactive, since they can't see that a new comment was added just seconds ago from that page view. Having "Hot" as the default would probably be better since those are usually newer posts with at least a few comments.
Most people start by ending up on the join Lemmy website and are bombarded with info about the fediverse, and the description of each server makes it sound like you can only interact with local commities. If you link someone straight to lemmy.world I imagine they will have no problem signing up.
