Same thing happened to me. Borked my Windows install and didn't have a recovery disc, so I just wiped the whole thing and went Linux-only. Never looked back since. :)

If you're using a shell script to install software, you've already failed.
Better alternatives include
- Third-party package managers like Homebrew and Nix.
- Language-specific package managers like pip and npm.
- Self-contained package formats like Flatpak, Snap and AppImage.
- Using checkinstall to turn a package with an install script or a "make install" command into a package your distro recognizes.
- Downloading a tarball and using GNU Stow to install it into /usr/local.
- Compiling from source and installing in $HOME.
Alt+Backspace works in bash too, and should work in any other command-line program that reads input using readline.
Naturally they only get to charge for already-sold copies if you accept the new terms that include the charges. As for how it's legal to include those charges in the new terms to begin with, I guess you'd have to ask a contract lawyer. Presumably Unity's own lawyers are convinced they can get away with it, or they wouldn't have done it.
Unity licenses are sold as a subscription. When the subscription runs out, you either have to renew it and accept the new terms, or lose the license and stop distributing your game.

Personally my only gripe with systemd is that the systemctl and journalctl commands are cryptic and unintuitive. Every time I have to use one (which thankfully isn't often), I have to spend 5 minutes reading man pages to remind myself whether -u is "user" or "unit", what the difference is between a "unit" and a "service", etc.
I imagine this is what non-developers feel like when they're forced to use git—having a whole pile of unfamiliar vocabulary and syntax thrown in your face when you're just trying to do one simple thing.
