Great. But AutoCAD and Solidworks are not high end CAD. Acceptable for some I guess. But we need serious CAD.

We have to use Windows at work for our high end CAD. There's no FOSS alternative.

I use Linux at home. Which is basically a, less crap, copy of Windows. But is still missing important stuff.

I'm not saying its the aliens, but I have heard they've been buying stuff, including LoRa gear, off AlienExpress

Lease out the prisoners for manual labour. Include shackles in the leasing price. This would save prison costs, make money, and we can all say Trump brought back slavery.

They should get out more.

You could be surrounded by cool people all chatting away. You'll never know, unless you buy a device. I have absolutely no need for one. But I've ordered one out of curiosity. I'm actually quite excited about getting it. Later, I might get bored and disconnect.

I knew they should have built a real smoke and engine noise generator into the cyber truck. So that all those who insist on polluting, don't have to be left out.

Why not both? It's simple to install both and decide for yourself. I use both for different tasks.

I'm also not a text first person. There are a lot of us about. I have found GUI applications to do most commands I need. Most IT users don't know them, as they've never searched for them. I pin the apps as Favourites in the launcher, to help remember my processes. The apps typically keep the last used values, making them quite productive.

Oh great! The planet has already got a carbon dioxide atmosphere. So we can't go there and burn stuff to mess it up like web did to the last one.

Get a spare computer. Then you will feel more inclined to mess with it. And your main computer is always ready to look up issues and set up boot USB sticks. You will definitely try out lots more distros without hesitation.

And there are some cool mini PCs to buy quite cheap.

Yes. I use that option. But as I rarely see the desktop, hiding any files or folders makes little difference to using Plasma.
