You don't need the staggered rollout since it won't boot into a broken image and you can boot easily into an old one if you don't like the new one. E.g. fedora atomic.
I'm not up to date with vanilla os for the debian world if it is on par with fedora.
Maybe you could switch to an image based distro which is easy to roll back and won't boot into a broken image.
In my experience kde is very stable. A "lot" of "instability" comes from third party features. I didn't click on the link, btw.
Bitcoin != most cryptocurrencies
Thats not true.
Of course apple profita from used laptops. If noone buys used apple laptops some of those who are replacing cannot afford the new one and there is a crowding out effect. Moreover, the higher the demand for other vendors, the higher the support for them.
Don't ever buy apple devices. It's not a good company
I understand your frustration, yet I don't think one is better than the other. I'd use KDE if it wasn't for paperwm
Doesn't GNOME work towards the android style where you have the notification that apps/processes are running in background? It's not yet perfect but they work on it. I haven't used tray icons extensively on windows. I installed them on GNOME when I moved to gnome but they got lost somewhere along my distro hopping path.
As if extensions on kde wouldn't break. How many outdated extensions are there on kde right now? Last time I checked it wasn't only one or two.
Just because everything is shipped with kde doesn't mean that gnome is worse because you have to install one more app. Yes it should be included but that's not my decision to make.
Nothing. I heavenly used both. You can customize kde through the in built settings tools and with GNOME you have to install another app to do it. Same outcome. A user can customize kde a bit more. It's both still linux with the same underlying system.
Because it's not updated often enough. Fedora is stable and up to date. Especially fedora atomic has a huge added value compared to debian.
As a user I wouldn't use debian. Server yes, workstation, no.
You also roll back package versions. I'm not sure what problems could arise.
