I run Windows on the main family computer for simplicity and Linux on my personal (slightly older) laptop. I'm trying to teach my kids about it in hopes that they will have the same level of curiosity that I did back in the early 2000s. Plus I'd love to not run Windows at all.

I will switch from Sync to Infinity once it's available on F-Droid or the Play store. I don't stay on top of things enough to use apps that I have to update myself.
By the way I use Slackware doesn't really roll off the tongue.
I won't pay for anything that discord offers. I understand that companies are there to make money but they do not have anything of actual value to sell me. I don't care about emojis or Nitro or whatever. I just want a chat client that allows me to communicate with people I play certain games with. In-game chat can do this as well and I will simply go back to that if the monetization of discord gets to be too big of a problem. It's less convenient and sometimes sucks when folks are on different platforms but it's free.
Bring back Netscape! Actually I would take the old Opera. That was my browser of choice prior to the chrome integration.
I use windows 11 on the main PC. Ease of use for everyone in the household plus easy access to mainstream gaming. I use Linux Mint on my personal laptop. I'm not much of a power user these days so Mint has everything I need for my slightly older laptop.
It will sound better than streaming directly from your phone but it's not worth it to most people. The cable conversation is a whole other subject. There are still audiophiles that claim that cables costing upwards of $1000 are worth it and sound better. It blows my mind.
