Wow, a bit touchy. I didn’t indicate that your world view was problematic. Just US centric. Was not in any way implying some morals to the debate.
Simply stating facts that not all, arguably not even a majority are IT professionals, except perhaps in the US.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not sure what windows apps you’re using but in my 20+ years IT that has absolutely, in most situations, not been the case.
This is pretty US centric thinking. Linux doesn’t have licensing. That means it’s used extensively in other countries, especially poorer ones. Some countries entire governments use it. It’s pretty huge in India too. Africa. Places where common folk, not IT professionals, use it but either have rough or no Internet and aren’t communicating in English, especially not GitHub.
I think part of this that I’m not seeing talked about, and perhaps confused for “more tech savvy users”, is just the user hostility of Windows.
9 times out of 10 when a Linux app or game crashes I get a verbose error and more often than not one that I can simply copy and paste.
9 times out of 10 when Windows, or much of windows software, crashes it gives some random number or code and in a window I can’t even copy and paste out of.
My skill level doesn’t change. Linux just isn’t user hostile in nature making it easy to search for fixes and report issues. Where as on windows I can’t summon the care or effort to manually transcribe the error so I can then do something with it.
Not if you install Firefox from Flatpak. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Flatpak steam can do all that. You just have to learn to control the flatpak sandbox. There are CLI commands of course or you can install Flatseal which is a real nice gui that lets you control the sandbox for each individual flatpak app. https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal
Just add whatever drive/directory/mount point in the filesystem path for Steam in flatseal and Steam can see it.
I know. I’m that guy. Brave has sync now. They finally fixed it. ¯\_/(ツ)_/¯
Similar to what others have said you need to make some changes. Figure out how the game works. Get educated. Find a new job, get certs, go back to school, rehab your credit, find a cheaper place, make moves.
I see your point. I did not catch the proper context given your comment prior. That’s my bad. Thanks for pointing that out and being gentle with me. Disregard my comment. Going to leave it in case someone who does think that way happens upon it.
Getting tired of this smaller target narrative. On desktop, maybe. We don’t know for sure since most Linux doesn’t carry telemetry and one ISO download doesn’t mean one install.
Also, Linux runs some insanely high percentage of the Internet (server, VM, container), IOT and mobile. For every individual who might own a hand full of computers there are 10’s, or perhaps hundreds, of Linux servers out there doing tasks for them. Virus and malware don’t only target desktops. There’s literally no larger target.
I mean if you consider Windows a virus, by extension…yes? /s 😜
Did you read the thread you just replied to? Most of the internet, hundreds of millions (probably trillions but I’m being conservative) of servers, all run Linux. Linux is a minority on desktop computers, yes, but it’s a majority of computers on the planet. For every one or two computers an individual might have there are a multitude of servers (that’s not just base servers but all the virtual servers, docker containers, IOT, and mobile devices). 10’s of these per person if not hundreds. All linux. Your argument that it’s a smaller user base is patently false. You’re using linux right now and don’t even know it.
Sure can!
