office works fine if you use a translation layer like proton. There are also free/open source office suites that are file compatible and way better.
specific versions of Adobe work with proton, but not all. There are better alternatives on Linux for the most part.
pirated or legit makes no difference
Yeah it’s a similar situation. Sometimes assholes make arguably good software.
Also supposedly the Hyprland community has mellowed out in the last couple years. I can’t confirm, but i hope it’s true

A new FOSS browser made by a complete and utter asshole
This is being pushed by social media companies that don’t want to be responsible for age verification
Lots of folks use those “toy” distros to accomplish specialized tasks that are cumbersome or impossible on other distros. I’d describe it more as “general purpose” vs “niche”
Both are tools
Working on GrapheneOS, but not a feature worth buying a new device for IMO.
