I worked in a print store and brother those huge xerox machines are no joke. Tens of thousands of pages with minimal maintenance and downtime. Consumer printers are often terrible, especially inkjets, but this just seems like you've never used a nice one before. The problem is most people would rather pay 50 dollars for a really terrible printer to print with it 20 times rather than just order 20 prints from a shop or cough up a couple hundred for a really well made printer, laser or no.

Firefox is also really good on Android these days. I use that with all the usual ad blocking and privacy extensions I have on desktop.

I use Arch (btw) because for me it just works. Minimal system packages, most things installed as flatpaks.

Not what I said at all. But when you are switching from a platform whose issues are familiar and already factored into your workflow to a new one, the new platform has to justify itself despite those new issues. I'm an avid Linux user and could not imagine going back to Windows for work, but we can't expect people to deal with new issues when they are already exhausted by old ones. The experience has to be better in basically every way to convince people who aren't actively interested to switch. I think with the dust settling in audio and video stuff and the new crop of sleek DEs we are getting close to that, but for many people Windows is a better experience despite all those problems, because everything else is still that much simpler. Control does not necessitate complexity, and Linux is still more complex.

Looks cool! But the GitHub mentions needing a 40-80GB GPU? Was really hoping to test this out myself but it looks like that may be out of the cards for me.

This is legitimately terrifying and extremely impressive if the demo they show in the gif reflects the quality of the output. Especially if this is going to be a free feature.

Yes! Glad to see that others have an eye on this. This is made by the developers of Craftopia, and if you've seen that game, you'd have no doubts that they will at least try desperately to make the promised features work. It isn't unlikely that it will be a technical disaster, but I'm sure it will be fun.
