... Except when it doesn't.
I use Gnome at work, on an older (supposedly stable) version of RedHat and there are a few ways it breaks, but when it does, it Breaks Bad. I would be fine with said breakages if it were not trying to claim focussing on having lesser bugs and in turn reducing customisability to such low levels that changing stuff like animation speed (which, by default is set to productivity destroying speeds), is not possible from the default repos.

KDE and related applications are much more tolerable and when I find a bug I tend to be happy to report.

Imagine having rootkits and APTs on your system, just to play some overpriced games, which you are later, remotely stopped from playing.

I'd rather give my time and money to a game that I find worth paying for rather than pirating, but you do you.
Also, pirated games, like any other Windows program, work on Wine. Maybe not all, but not all Windows software work on Wine anyway.

Coming from Paint.NET, I first tried Photoshop and I felt its controls to be non-intuitive, so I reverted to Paint.NET.
Later, I started using GIMP and coming from someone with no experience in either of them, GIMP and Photoshop are equally non-intuitive, so whenever someone complaining about GIMP, feels like they are coming from Photoshop, I just discount their rating.

Inkscape is a vector graphics editor, which is different from GIMP.

Right.
I feel like the text part is something GIMP should actually make an overlapping feature. That and basic shapes, which would make it much more useful for basic stuff.

But then, I'm neither a GIMP dev nor a heavy user and I have no idea of their target audience.

If you are making memes, Inkscape is what you are using most of the times. Though the lack of 2 click and 1 drag cropping, makes me feel a bit frustrated (still, you can crop).

A lot of Linux Distros seem to have Firefox telemetry disabled by default (even the minimal, one-time ping, telling Mozilla to know there is another user), so that might be skewing some of the stats.

When you choose a distro, you generally choose to follow what the maintainers give you as the "latest".
Or you get snap/flatpak/AppImage.

I, personally, would go with AppImage, probably because I once made some myself and liked them.

Oh and while I'm at it, I'll just ssh into a few other computers as root, using Nautilus (as root of course) and keep them all open until I shutdown, just because I want to copy their docx files.

Exercises using wrist strength actually help with those problems.
I haven't done climbing, but I do tend to include wrist related stuff in my routine.
e.g. nunchuck exercises are good for shoulders and wrists. Quarterstaff spinning has also been useful.

It's hard to enshittify FOSS as long as good enough people willing to contribute to de-shittify stuff exist, but that is not the main thing that "defines" any trend.

The layman that tends to use stuff that is marketed (which is unfortunately enough of the people) will be affected by for-profit orgs trying to set trends in their favour. That is what will turn out to "define" the terms.
Consider how Apple managed to keep their cult following for so long and how there are still enough people who consider "Windows" as the common name for Operating System. Even though the more technically minded people understand the differences, it doesn't change the fact that people's perception will be defined by what's more in front of them, until they individually realise their ignorance and decide to investigate.
