I actually disagree with point 1 to an extent. The startup work for such a machine would indeed require a lot of effort, but once that groundwork is in place, wouldn't that make it easier to maintain momentum and release a successor?
Unpopular opinion: I'm concerned that widespread adoption of Linux would mean a reduction in functionality for power users. Considering that the majority of "regular user" effort seems to be going into gaming, I'm doubly concerned that the first major group to embrace Linux would be Gamers, a demographic I think is capable of doing untold damage to the ecosystem at large.
I'd probably move to FreeBSD if things got to that point.
EDIT: by "Gamers" I don't mean people who like video games, I mean the people who make video games their entire personality and assume they understand everything about a computer because they managed to install Steam without blowing away their entire OS.
That's a fair point, but I've already seen what one uninformed, idiotic YouTuber (LTT) is capable of achieving by closing his eyes, putting his fingers in his ears, stamping his feet, and whipping his equally uninformed followers into a frenzy over an issue that was almost entirely his own fault. I fully expect such events to continue as Linux gains popularity.
Yeah I never cared for him much before, but I also never cared about him much either. Now I actively despise him, which I guess is a form of successful marketing in that I'm still talking about him, but fuck it.
EDIT to add: I vaguely remember hearing that Civics were all compatible with the same parts regardless of model year, but I don't know how true that is.
IIRC it was specifically Civics made after a certain year. I wanna say 1994? Subaru is super big on the concept, too, though. It's actually where they got their name ("Subaru" apparently means "unity" in Japanese).
In my experience, YouTube is almost universally shit for anything to do with software. I've stopped bothering trying to find any software YouTubers and rely on blogs instead.

If the tags are anything like DWM or Awesome, they're like traditional workspaces like you'd find in Gnome or KDE, but with the option to display multiple workspaces at the same time.
Example:
You have a "coding" tag that contains your editor and terminal, and a "browsing" tag that contains Firefox and Chrome. You can display the windows in just "coding" or "browsing," or you can display all windows from both tags at the same time.
Hey man, it happens. I could tell that you had some valid arguments in there, I was just trying to get you to express them. I definitely didn't help by joining in the immaturity either.
Side note, I'm legit starting to hate my Tesla anyway, but I wasn't about to admit that yesterday lol. There are absolutely a lot of valid criticisms of them, I just think the majority are overblown, especially as they relate to FSD. I'm in the beta and it's basically the only reason I still have the damn thing.
Anyway, I'm sorry too. I probably should have just walked away when things got heated, but there was a part of me that was secretly hoping to see how long we'd keep going back and forth calling each other assholes because I thought it would be funny.
