I just tried Stremio and found it to be hot garbage. I'll stick with torrents/Jellyfin.
It always infuriates me when I see people complain that "Trump did this" or "Elon did that" (referring to the Bluesky comments). Of course they did, this is exactly what they said they would do.
If someone aims a gun at their foot and pulls the trigger, you don't blame the gun. This is what the orange buffoon campaigned on, it's what the majority of Americans voted for. Put the blame where it belongs.
authoritarism
Romania has 6 other political parties, ranging from centre-right to far-right. Are you insinuating the people don't have a choice?
Well for starters, I don't support far right candidates which sounds like I have a leg up on you at least.
It's the same reason you don't let your kids have candy and ice cream for every meal.
Because the people are idiots.
A bad experience? I've been using Linux for nearly 30 years, since the late 90's. My bad experience is finding communities dominated by people that only care about gaming and making things brain dead easy, from flatpaks to entire distributions designed to emulate the look and feel of Windows.
And consoles? If it wasn't for the Steamdeck/Proton 90% of you would still be running Windows. Even with all the advancements, Linux gamers are still less than 1.5% of the market share.
Also, my closet 3090 machine runs EndeavourOS and ollama/stable diffusion. Endeavour is just Arch with an installer and a couple of shell scripts.
No one cares about gamers, buy a console if all you want to do is play games, or run windows then.
If I'm paying $2k+ for a card, I want to be able to fully utilize it, and not just for the occasional bit of gaming.
CUDA has far more support than ROCm for a variety of things, from 3D render/design applications to AI powered tools. Nothing sucks more than coming across a nifty app or tool and finding out you can't use it because you chose the wrong GPU.
Poor life choices all around.
I tried the Zen browser for a week. At first, I really loved it, and kept raving about it to my co-workers. And then in the span of a single week, they made two completely bone headed design changes, with seemingly no direction or plan, and I knew I was out. I remember one of them was a floating address bar, but I don't remember the second, I just remember even the options to revert back to the previous behavior only half worked.
"Wouldn't it be neat if" is ok for some projects, it's not for a tool that I rely on so heavily to be consistent. I also liked Brave for a bit until I ran into a render engine/compatibility issue and when I checked the patch notes realized it was just run by Crypto-bros.
For now I'll stick with Firefox (profiles for Work and Personal) and qutebrowser (because keyboard is 'the way').
Don't do it, stay with Nvidia.

I haven't used Linux as a desktop since back in the 2.0/2.1 kernel days, when you were praying the next kernel release would add support for the bits and pieces that made up your kit.
After 2 months of Ubuntu, I decided to dive into Arch and Endeavour has made it made it easy so far!
Tell us you know nothing about running Linux and rely on app stores for your software.
