CW: Rant or something like that; on the state of Linux desktop, if nothing else, ostensibly. However you or anyone else use a computer/phone/whatever-else is none of my business and therefore not a hill I would enjoy dying on. If you would like to disagree, you sure can, and that's fine and we're both wrong anyway.
@plutarch I don't understand every term in this rant of yours, but I think I understand enough to recognize why fundamentally we agree on this concept & why so much feels so wrong.
If anything close to sense & safety gets done on my home repair/remodeling effort set, within another 18 months, beyond full recognition of the terms I don't now, I'll have a #Linux or other #OpenSource operating system or systems on a functional desktop computer or 2 in my home, they likely staying in 1 or 2 nooks of my house. On them will be the simplest setups I can find because I too believe computers are tools not lifestyle foci nevermind centers of life.
One of the best features in my old house is the plaster walls, which make wifi signals travel like smoke in a house that's a chimney.... so beyond my directly having the "smart home " feature set removed from their automatic inclusion in the upgrades & rewiring of the house, I enjoy the fact that internet & in turn computer access in my home exists but is & will remain contained.

A metal awning over the front door helps block sun, deflect rain, and protect the entry from daily exposure.
It’s a small addition that improves comfort and helps reduce long-term wear on exterior materials.
