Btrfs snapshots are a blessing. Call me a cheater :P

I don't use Wine so I'm really not sure if this would be prevented

It is not prevented. In fact I saw a video where someone removed the Z:\ drive for wine (the path that gives windows apps access to the whole Linux rootfs) and then ran Wannacry, and it was somehow still able to encrypt all writable folders on the system.

That wouldn't remove the Wine prefix, i. e. the virtual C:\ drive where the virus most likely lives. Uninstalling Wine wouldn't do shit since it only removes files that your user (and thus wine) can't even write to, and if a virus manages to get around that you have bigger problems.

ADHD says no

Same. I don't care if it "doesn't follow the UNIX philosophy" or whatever, it gets the job done, is IMHO easy to work with and many guides assume that you have it.

Odysee/LBRY is just another bit of crypto crap.

That, and while it was kinda nice in the beginning with a bunch of Linux / Tech / Science creators and a friendly community, it quickly became dominated by bigotry and conspiracy theories.

The fact that it's a screen recording of MS Paint really sells it

You can either install flatpaks system wide or only for your specific user.

except the ones who are dead

I feel like it does make a difference but it might just be placebo.

• Screen sharing works with legacy apps using KDE's XWayland video bridge
• ??? When I close LibreOffice, Rnote or whatever and have unsaved work I am asked if I want to save
• Compositor Crashes: Valid and, at best, annoying point. Hopefully that will change soon and luckily KWin and Mutter rarely crash these days
• DPI: In my experience scaling is a better experience than on X11. In KDE, you can choose if unsupported apps should have no scaling or blurry scaling.
• Graphical bugs are basically gone for me and have been for months now. On NVIDIA it might be worse
• I have not had significant problems with drag and drop or copy and paste in a long time.

I'm not trying to invalidate your experience; if Wayland doesn't work for you yet then stay on X11 for a while. But a lot of complaints I see about Wayland are pretty outdated and just not true any more.

I just don't really get the "I won't use Wayland until it has complete parity with X" attitude. The status quo is that X11 has features that Wayland lacks and vice versa. Like, I enjoy features like VRR, mixed refresh rates, mixed scaling, better gestures etc. on Wayland right now, but color management isn't there just yet.

Wayland doesn't need complete parity with X11, it just needs the features that people actually need these days. And yeah it lacks some stuff like color management but I'd argue for the majority of users Wayland is already fully usable day to day.

I guess that makes me a tech conservative with a hint of newborn paranoid, based on the provided. But I don't think the name "tech conservative" is very fitting at all. To me those words would describe someone has been using Linux for 20 years and hates everything that is new just out of principle and will never change their mind (e. g. containerized apps, Wayland, systemd etc.). I couldn't be further away from that stereotype.
