I never did like the CDE style window decorations, but I do rather miss the old school docks.

It can be, sure. I prefer garbage collectors but I’m not doing systems programming.
It forces you to be careful in the way it wants you to be careful. Which is fine, but it makes it a strange beastie for anyone not used to it.
I think something is lying to you.
You don’t get the immersion of a new OS when you use wsl though. Which is fine if you just want some Linux compatibility for things like docker, but if you want the whole “desktop experience” then a VM is a better option. Either Hyper-V or VirtualBox will give you that with reasonable performance.
I read the question. I’m the person who’s annoyed with the daily “hey guys which distro do you use” BS.
Great question. Right up there with “what’s the best movie” or “which meal should I order”. Maybe you want to ask which editor is the best too?
I don’t think the networking part is part that needs solving. Modern AP/routers are pretty easy to configure and setup securely. Dunno - I’m definitely not in the target audience for what you’re doing though.
In what way do you think this article supports anything about the claim that “ssh can be broken into fairly easily”. It’s at best an argument for not using passwords with SSH, and at least for using very good passwords.
Which problem(s) are you trying to solve? The networking issue of firewalls and port forwarding? The admin tasks of installing and configuring applications? The task nobody does of maintaining software and keeping it up-to-date?

What’s a nixos script?
Raspberry Pi is not a server. That people use it as one does not mean it’s fit for purpose.
SSH, especially password only ssh, can be broken into fairly easily.
WTF are you smoking? The tailscale propaganda is really getting crazy these days.
ssh is one of the most secure servers you can run. The tailscale propaganda is crazy in this community.
This community is like 90% tailscale shills.
That’s fair - I’m not saying users shouldn’t be able or allowed to use computers, but just that it’s been proven over and over again that most people simply don’t get computers. They should always have the option to learn what they can though.
Computers are not a good choice for “regular users”. Get them a locked-down iPhone and be done with it.
What you are describing is not a situation unique to Linux - or even Windows. “Software is hard and it sometimes breaks”. My Windows 11 laptop that I use for work and to which I have made exactly zero modifications sometimes doesn’t recognize when I’ve connected external speakers. And I can’t disable hyper-v despite following all of the instructions. This is a corporate provisioned and managed system and simple stuff just doesn’t work.
X% of all things have bugs. Your mistake is in thinking that the percentage that you’re seeing are somehow special or related to the particular OS you’re running at the time. The classic “the grass is greener” fallacy. This is pretty evidenced also by the fact that you’re a classic “distro hopper” whose always looking for the perfect system rather than taking the time to understand the problems and deal with them as they come.
I self-host my own damn mail server and I wouldn’t want to support infrastructure for a business I was starting…
If your core business is not “making sure wordpress is running” then outsource it to others to worry about. You’ll have enough on your plate.
One thing to address is that if you’re sending lots of emails you start to raise concerns about being a spammer. Especially if somebody forgets they signed up for your newsletter and clicks “report as spam”. It can be a quick way to get blocked from your mail provider since they can themselves become blocked and they’d rather ban you than deal with that hassle. Just be sure whoever you’re sending mail through is okay with you sending “bulk” mail.
I like jbake. Create templates, pages are either html or markdown. Pretty easy to use.
