After the redesign I'm honestly surprised half of the world is not on Thunderbird already.

As I understand, even when paying you would still see ads and not get any benefits over what Twitter is at the moment whatsoever. I honestly cannot imagine the platform retaining many users after such a drastic step.
I do agree that adding some kind of backup option is probably a good idea. For many people, losing their email account would mean being locked out of basically all their online accounts (or, in case the account gets compromised, it would mean that all other online accounts would now be compromised too). The majority of people do not use password managers or 2FA, and I've made the experience that many people simply cannot be convinced to make online security a priority. While I'm also a FOSS and online privacy advocate and use tons of self hosted services for that reason, having some way to regain access to their Google account is almost certainly worth the extra data point that Google gets access to. Especially since the likelihood of them already knowing about your phone number is basically 100% if you are logged in on an Android device.
As others have already mentioned, there will be EU regulation that comes into effect soon that will force messengers to be interoperable. Despite following the topic quite actively, it still seems to be quite uncertain how this interoperability will look like. I also have some concerns about companies making interoperability opt-in, requiring users to go to the app settings and manually turning it on or presenting them with a popup that makes it seem like interoperability is a security risk (a Meta spokesperson revealed that they were pushing for a solution like that pretty heavily). Either way, before trying to get other people to migrate to another platform I would first wait and see what the implications of this regulation are.
As far as I know, that's the plan. They just haven't had an initial non-alpha/beta release yet since the app is still quite unfinished (references to Reddit, certain menus just error out, etc.)
You usually want to have a product that is kind of working when you ship it to normies
Infinity is going to be great once everything is properly supported!
I get the criticism that you still need to use the CLI for many more advanced tasks, but 11 "program install processes"? I assume you mean package managers? I only use two on Debian, apt and flatpak and don't really see the need for anything more. If you just use a gui store like Gnome Software or Discover you don't even see a difference between the two in the first place.
The only time that issues arise is when you try to instal something that is not (or not properly) supported on Linux. Otherwise I'd argue the presence of a centralized store GUI even makes installing apps easier on Linux than on Windows.
Would be interesting to hear a little more about your setup. I had some issues when I had Nextcloud installed directly on Debian (though nothing this major), have since switched to running it on Docker and it's been very solid.
Lucky you
No, this just happens somehow. But it is a known bug and will likely be fixed in the coming releases.
Jup, love that the price is not just not being increased with upgraded specs, the remaining stock of the old Steam Deck variants is actually being significantly discounted.
