Eminently logical.
I know you said don't suggest Vim, but I use Neovim for my writing and write in markdown. Any markdown editor will do. Marker is fine. It's really easy to convert to another format like HTML or EPUB with pandoc. Markdown has minimal formatting, too, so it shouldn't bug you so much.
FocusWriter is another good suggestion if that's more what you're interested in.
No idea. It was the first time I ever used Linux. Ubuntu just booted into GRUB rescue mode after a month, and the only thing I can remember doing is installing another desktop environment. On Arch, I've had KDE and GNOME installed side-by-side for years now.
Microsoft Exchange. For running an email server. It's easily the most popular use for Windows servers.
15 years ago, I thought I wanted to make a game. Turns out, I didn't.
A few years ago, I sought out Linux. Learning to use it has made me so much more confident and excited about technology. I understood so much more. And yet, it feels like I don't understand nearly enough. So I'm learning programming so I can start looking through codebases for the projects I use, maybe seeing if I can add new features or fix some bugs that are annoying me. I've sort of accomplished that goal for one program. There are also some programs that don't exist, or don't exist in the way I want them to that I intend on developing.
I'd like to learn reverse engineering too...
Well, I guess I'm a programmer only by technicality. I haven't done anything serious and I'm certainly not decent at the art. I'm just curious. 🐇
It is! And OBS is awesome. But it is not proprietary.
What's wrong with GNOME Boxes? My experience has been great for the past two years. Better than Virtualbox.
I've never used Ubuntu much, but that was interesting to know! Thanks for sharing.
I found this page on hardware enablement. My understanding is that new hardware isn't supported with old kernels, which older LTS releases are stuck with. So Ubuntu solves this problem by backporting newer drivers to the older kernel release.
That's quite an interesting way of making money. I guess if Dell wanted the newer drivers, they could just install a newer version of Ubuntu. But since they wanted more stability, they preferred that Canonical backport the fixes to an LTS release.
Ren'Py is a fantastic engine and it would be great to have more games developed in it. Unfortunately, a lot of visual novels don't use Ren'Py, so they are only released for Windows and need to be run through Wine. This includes the vast majority of Japanese visual novels before 2010. The good news is that most of the time, this works pretty well—assuming you do it right. The setup isn't complicated and hopefully this guide makes it easy to follow.
There's a neat trick for running NScripter games natively on Linux, even if they were only developed for Windows: https://wiki.comfysnug.space/doku.php?id=visualnovel:vnsonlinux#playing_nscripter_games_with_onscripter
ONScripter is a drop-in replacement for the NScripter engine that works on Linux, and it can interpret NScripter game files just by running it in the same folder. This worked for me with TRianThology.
Steam games tend to work out of the box thanks to Valve, but this guide is for the visual novels that aren't released on Steam (which there are a lot of).

This is kind of a bad comparison. Theoretically, malicious authors could sign their Flatpak packages and Flatpak could verify it with cryptography. It doesn't matter if you're downloading a "crypto-wallet" that's really just a phishing exercise.
