I use bookshop.org for books, some of the profits go to Indy bookshops.
Otherwise I use Amazon like a search provider, find the item I like then go straight to retailer or manufacturers website.
Yeah totally, I think to use Arch successfully you need an opinion about what your system needs, and that takes experience with using Linux.
Installation is pretty trivial these days with the install script
Ironically this is how I feel about Arch, for me it's worked flawlessly for years.
I don't bother getting in 'discussions' about using it, because if other people have problems I'm not going to convince them that I don't.

Surveillance and social credit goes hand in hand
In general, pick big well supported distros.
Smaller more specific distros like Nebara may sound good, but if there are issues, you will have to wait a long time for a small team to fix them, or work it out yourself.
All standard distros can be used for gaming, you may need to find a way to pull in the latest kernel/drivers/packages if you want thr most optimises experience though.
I second The Expanse series as the other poster said, I started reading with these books when I had time to read during travel. I love the story and characters and the bookies have a really nice cadence to them with regular chapters breaking up the story, helping you feel the progress.
Another series I recommend is the Silo trilogy, Wool, Shift, & Dust. They've also just started a TV series on the first book
You can turn off preshaders, check the settings
I mean... They're not. Not counting the individual or course.
Well I think that's the issue here. It's not geared towards a group of people, but towards an ideal workflow which is the Gnome Way.
If you're someone that likes to have masses of applications or windows open you can certainly use Gnome, but the Gnome is more focused on one or two windows per desktop/workspace and I encourage you to embrace that way of working too
Again, it's not about people, but the intended user experience.
I remember when Windows first introduced My Documents folder and subfolders for images, music, video. To begin with I rejected this folder because I wanted my folders in the root C: as I had always done. Eventually I decided to use these folders and I learned to appreciate the convenience of this, including all the additional thumbnails and meta data that the OS provided automatically for those folders.
You're trying to use Gnome the way you're used to using a desktop.
If you try and learn the Gnome way, you'll have a better time.
To be honest I had the same problem when I first went from Windows to OSX, I was struggling, trying to make OSX familiar, but when I decided to learn the Apple way, everything became easier.
Yes it's a standard of court cases
This is good, more browsers should be built upon Firefox, just as browsers are built on Chrome

You should start a wiki that contains 'How to play the game' posts like these, something a bit like BeforeIPlay
This looks nice, but today I just found out about nushell which seems to do it all.
Maybe a controller for the SteamDeck
You don't, a tar.gz is an archive format like zip or 7z
Technically it's two formats a tarball - all files combined into one file, tar - and then compressed into a gzip.
To uncompress and release the files run:
tar -xzf filename.tar.gz

In my experience the AUR is useful but almost unnecessary, and if you want to use flatpak you can get away from using the AUR entirely
