Gaslighting is not a level, just a different technique. It can be done at varying levels of severity.
Sounds like they hacked (out of) the box
Honestly, you'll be lucky if you can get past any bootloader issues on a Samsung.
It was honestly trivial to wipe Samsung's and install LineageOS on a Galaxy Note 10+ and a Galaxy Tab 7. The bootloader isn't much of an issue.
Now, getting a random Linux system to install, rather than an Android system designed for these, sounds live a huge challenge.
I agree planning around it is stupid, but I don't see how that affects computer programs.
(let me clarify, this seems like an everyone-issue, rather than a developer-issue)
Timezones are fine to program around.
DST is a bit of a pickle to plan around, but can be done just fine by a computer program.
Historical dates; considering leap years, skipped leap years, and times when leap years weren't a thing or when humanity just decided we skip a bunch of years; are the bane of all that is good.
This, with reading the full name of the model each and every time, reads like a corporate ad
Okay but why is this in RPG Memes?

I think your first point is the main reason Ubuntu has its popularity to thank for; 10-15 years ago it was (one of) the best desktop Linux OSes, people used to its workflow will continue using it as there's no imminent reason to switch to whatever new thing just came out
Firewall is pre-installed, and they offer to configure and enable it on launch (similar to Ubuntu and many other distros). I've never seen a Linux desktop they came with firewall preconfigured in any way.
The lock screen is an issue, and Cinnamon does not come with a Wayland way to lock yet. KDE, Gnome or some other Wayland friendly DE would be better in that regard, I agree
I will say, one difference between Nintendo and other game console manufacturers, is that they do innovate more and make incredibly well-polished games as far as large game developers go
But yeah, screw their Disney/Apple/WotC-esque business practices
