Not fun is pressing play one day and finding a big chunk of your carefully constructed playlist is "no longer in your library."

this is exceptionally true from my experience with Spotify. I had downloaded a playlist that had a specific song. One day I went to play my locally downloaded playlist only to glance over it and see that the song was unavailable. I had the song downloaded. In my device and it still removed the song. No warnings, no nothing. Ever since, I downloaded everything locally and completely ditched Spotify. Fuck this scummy behaviour

One thing I give Linux credit for is how it handles updates. Like, yeah, Linux doesn't force updates, that we all know, but I like how at least in the GNOME desktop, there is no "Update and action" button, there is only the shutdown and restart buttons, where if I am to press either, the system will ask me if I want to install updates or not with a nice box to tick the option. Nowhere near as cluttered as it is in the picture.

It's a cool concept in the sense that it obfuscates the user by filling the advertising algorithm with garbage so that profiling supposedly becomes more difficult. I don't use it as I don't need this feature and just want to block ads (uBlock Origin is the best content-blocker right now), but if you want the features, you can use it.

A plus is that it is also based on uBlock Origin

Some games from Steam can still be used without Steam's DRM. It's a little difficult to pull it off, but it can be done

Waste management and environmental concerns are already bad with coal power (even worse than nuclear power, in the sense that nuclear doesn’t launch waste into the air as far as I know, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong)

Although, yes, security has to be higher for nuclear power, but nuclear is not as bad as most people think

Yes. Opening PDFs might be safer on Linux, but general internet security and practice goes a long way, too. Using a content-blocker like uBlock Origin on Firefox can greatly reduce attack surface on both Linux and Windows as well

No.

By installing software only from trusted sources (default repositories from your distribution are the safest software you will ever install on linux)

Also, not that it matters much, but it has a strong stance towards open-source software, not allowing closed software in its repositories. Although closed software can be installed by using RPMFusion

Exactly. uBlock Origin exists for a reason. No one can block everything, but mitigation tactics exist, and to not use a product just because the website contains trackers, I don’t understand why one would do that if the product itself doesn’t contain trackers, but hey, people are different

Excuse my silly question, but what does mpv do that vlc doesn't?

Debian is good, but if you use flatpak I recommend Fedora. They have (from my own experience) the best flatpak implementation. Although it varies from person to person

(Again, from my experience) Nvidia and Wayland works pretty well, even with the proprietary drivers. Debian has Wayland+Nvidia support since 12. see: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Wayland

I don't know about your other questions, sorry

Nothing against people liking Edge, but not being able to uninstall it by normal means made me dump Windows entirely. I mean, wtf? Not being able to uninstall a browser? Like, what?
