Out of the box, KDE is superior for Mouse+Keyboard.
Gnome is superior for Touchpad+Keyboard.

And Gnome requires you to adjust to its way of doing things, KDE lets you adjust it to yours.
But if you "get" Gnome and are on a laptop without a mouse attached, it's a joy to use.
The idea behind Gnome is to have everything maximized, use virtual desktops for multitasking, and switch between them using touch gestures or cursor keys in the overview.

If you find yourself installing more than 3 extensions, especially major changes like Dash-To-Panel, just stop and use KDE instead. I firmly believe most people saying "Gnome sucks" just want a classical desktop metaphor. Which Gnome sucks at.

Nah, you get lumped in just like every non-resisting German was, and for good reason.

The original CD version 1.0 has a Platinum rating on WineHQ, so getting it working isn't news.
The cool thing about this one seems to be that it works without installation and includes a bunch of QOL improvements, as well as the London addon.

This is Fakebook slop

Finally, after twenty years, the power of the Taborites was broken with the Battle of Lipany on 30 May 1434, during which 13,000 of the 18,000-strong army of Taborites and Sirotci, led by Prokop Holý, were overwhelmingly defeated by the united Catholic forces. Under the weight of this defeat, the Sirotci's union completely disappeared. Many of the leading Taborite commanders fell in battle, including the leading priest Prokop Holý.
Jan Roháč and his faithful fortified at his castle Zion, which was soon conquered and all the surviving defenders were hanged in the Old Town Square of Prague.

Solar doesn't need to use that space exclusively. You can put solar on every roof, over every parking lot, and all grazing land. You can even put it over farmland in winter and tilt the panels out of the way during summer when there's enough energy anyway. Or use semi-translucent panels over crops that don't like blazing sunlight anyway.

I just hope the timeline you describe can outpace the timeline racing towards neo-feudalism, world war 3, global pandemics and heat waves triggering a new migration period.

Here you go:

If the cops actually had anything real on him, they could get the warrant over the phone while stalling you at the door, or even storm your place and get it later.
And even if they don't get it, no cop can get in trouble for the raid if they "suspect" you might destroy evidence, and anything they find can still be used in court.

It completely invalidates your 4th amendment rights, but congress felt this was needed to protect you against "terrorists" 25 years ago.

There is absolutely no issue with it.
But there are lots of other distros that add things to it which are great for desktop.
GUI tools for driver installation and kernel switching, snapshots, preinstalled Steam+Wine+Codecs+Flatpak, newer and more software, atomic updates, a faster package manager, more third party support, etc.

Debian is better than it ever was, but so are lots of other distros, especially the ones that build on it.
Nowadays you really have the choice between "good" and "better".

People asking for distro recommendations usually ask for their desktop.

Debian is great, but it's hardly ever the best choice for a desktop, at least not for the kind of people who ask for distro recommendations.
