X11, because I haven’t figured out how to get Wayland to work with my Nvidia 1070. One day I’ll put in the effort, or finally upgrade my card. But for now it’s fine

It basically is. AFAIK, there’s no browser based way for steam chat, Google messages, or snapchat. I’m sure there are others too.
The biggest advantage I can think of is notification integration. The ‘tabs’ do give notification counts. You can minimize to the system tray so it doesn’t have to be open. It would be seperate from your web browser, so if you have 30 tabs open like I do it’ll be less cluttered. But it’ll send notifications to the desktop with snippets of the message, like a popup on your phone. Also, even if you clear all your cookies/browser history etc., since it’s seperate from the browser, you don’t have to worry about logging in again.

It’s combines every app/website I want to be connected to. Snapchat Lemmy Element Gmail Google tasks Discord Google messages Mastadon Steam chat FB messenger Proton mail Microsoft teams Telegram Slack Github Icloud
You can even add custom services, although I haven’t tried to do it. The only one missing is signal.
It is desktop only though
Pre-installed is the biggest factor. Go to Walmart or best buy. You’ll find windows and Mac and chromebooks.
I don’t think it’s “laziness” per se, but rather people aren’t that technically inclined. It’s too much of a challenge for the average person especially when they don’t understand the benefits.
The only one that really pissed me off was a distro called biglinux. It’s arch based and very popular in Brazil. It’s actually very stable. Everything works great. It’s got some nice features.
Butttt, it uses latte dock or panel (kde). They have built in presets for how to arrange the panels and what not. It’s nice, however, I was trying to move some panels around from the base options and broke kde. I wasn’t doing anything more than changing GUI settings and the whole desktop broke. I seriously don’t understand.
Yeah. Lots of people give it shit, but it does really “just work”. I’m using endeavor right now and considering swapping back to Manjaro, mostly because I cannot for the life of me figure out why SMB won’t work. Manjaro is the only distro I’ve had it work properly with little to no effort.
Factorio. All about letting the factory grow.
I also started playing wizards of legend recently. It takes maybe 20 minutes to get through the tutorial, then it’s just game. I’m enjoying it so far
All I wanted was the ancient horse armor to summon Epona. I basically don’t ever use horses because it’s just so Inconvient to
