I would always recommend good old Debian for a mostly „it just works“ experience. You‘ll find debian packages for most if not all the things you mentioned. Alternatively you could go the steeper route and use an immutable OS like Fedora CoreOS or Fedora Silverblue for a more desktopy experience.

Hardware wise I‘ve been told the Intel NUC kits work wonders, or similarly specced boxes from Asia. You might get like 32GB RAM, a fairly recent CPU for <400€. Personally I‘m using a 12 year old Mac Mini until it dies, running debian.

The prompt for your password is to prevent someone that happens upon your unlocked computer to take it over. Also I think knowing which commands can be run as superuser by a given user is considered a security issue, hiding that info behind a password prompt should at least help.

You can turn just turn the prompt off by adding NOPASSWD to your account in the sudoers file(s).

Steam does this as far as I know.

63.03% rejecting it is less than I had expected. I was expecting 70% or more, so maybe there is hope for the matter to be reiterated upon in the coming years.

Ich kannte Telefonanrufe als Bezahlmittel, aber Briefmarken hab ich jetzt auch noch nicht gesehen. Was macht der Empfänger damit? Wird der von der Post ausbezahlt?

Most likely CD is intended to mean continuous delivery, which commonly means automation in processes that deliver your software to it’s target audience.
