Oh, I was getting ready to answer you but it seems like candle_lighter already did it for me, and you managed to find your own answers :)

To put it in few words: I just like how Vanilla's implementation of immutability makes it so simple to use.

I'm not sure about how much up to date Kubuntu's drivers are but maybe, if the software is at fault, changing to a more bleeding edge distro, like Fedora KDE, would solve this issue with temperature.

But that's why I said we should improve upon these alternatives tho, they are certainly not perfect and I never said they could replace Windows software currently

Today's reality is that most people (aka everyone) depends on these proprietary piece of software that are not avaiable on Linux, Adobe's and Microsoft's being the main ones.

But I believe that by focusing on improving and showing people that these alternatives exists and can be useable would help them slowly migrate to our open platforms, maybe even making proprietary software be ported to Linux.

When it comes to production software, THATS what we need, native Linux apps, and WINE does not solve that issue, so seeing it as a possible solution for running your production software (like Office 2021) will unsurprisingly cause days of fixing your stuff, while native Linux apps on the other hand, GIMP, Libreoffice, Inkscape, all work out of the box

That's because Linux is meant to run Linux software.. Wine should only be used as a last resort. When it comes to production software we should focus on improving our open alternatives and making them suitable for more users to migrate to our ecosystem, thus, creating demand for Adobe software or MS Office to be ported, or they might not even be needed by then

It's the flathub repo, which is also listed on their official website! But your link is valid too

Alternatively, some folks can also try Freetube for an ad free youtube experience as a desktop app

That's why I only use Newpipe

OP thinks Microsoft's ecosystem makes users too lazy to change to other ecosystems
