I live in Europe. Had Spotify for about 5 years, stopped paying and using 6 months ago.
I usually buy from Bandcamp, mostly non mainstream music, and download in FLAC and store it on my server. I can stream through the app on my phone when I'm out.
For the ones I can't find on Bandcamp, or albums from major labels, I tend to find it on Qobuz in MP3. Pricing trends to be similar everywhere.
My pirating nowadays is mainly for old music or establish artists.

Ever been to Mallorca?
Si no, quitas la magia al turista de norte de europa. Portugal y España son tan exóticos que solo puedes volar hasta ahí /s
My partner is a long time gamer on Windows. Her Win11 laptop doesn't have the same performance as mine so I setup a gaming account for both.
I barely told her anything on how to "operate" it and after a couple of times she has no problem on her own.
Just now, I came back to the pc and see kwrite open with a message from her. Never told her how to do that. She just searched for "notepad" on the menu like she would on Windows.
I work in Windows (company provided laptop) so on average I spend less time on my Linux PC. And I completely agree with you.
KDE as been my go-to desktop because of the familiarity. Some people argue that it has too much costumisation but the defaults give you everything to run a modern PC. While still allowing you to venture into the "terminal".
I agree
Of course ~~the~~ there is also the stigma of Chinese government telemetry embedded in Deepin
So... it's not worth it for the vast majority of people in the USA
Can we get a CSI style story detailing everything that happened between taking the joint and getting into a murderous craze, and also where dafuq did he get that marijuana? 🤣
The best way might not be a perfect one. Still a little bit better than most other options.
