It is more about having a place to dump your child for the day. Especially true since no family can get by without dual incomes and extended social support has broken down completely.

This post has made me realise my oversight. I had not added "Rowling" to my Lemmy keyword filter.
Go for 100%...I know you can do it.
By the time I actually buy a song, I've been listening to it repeatedly at least 10 to 20 times. At that point I'm buying it to put in my offline library and the cost is worth it immediately. The £1 per song price hasn't changed in a very long time. My music taste is very narrow, so I rarely find songs I like anyway. My entire music library amassed over my lifetime is 780 tracks currently (after removing some I lost interest in previously). So I definitely get my money's with out of my music.
Lemmy is another form of social media, and bullshit that happens on social media will come here as more people come here. Your life will be much better if you make full use of blocklists and filtering.
"Organic handmade"
I just watched A Quiet Place Day One last night, and now this pops up on my feed. Is Lemmy tracking my activity?
I have no idea man. My knowledge extends as far as that video. After watching "The Big Short", I've learned that there are a lot of ways that finance bros play the economy in ways that we cannot comprehend.
The tax cuts were huge (billions). She didn't increase spending, but didn't decrease it either; so it would leave a huge hole in government finance that would require massive government loans. The "market" freaked out. The pound and UKs credit rating plunged. The main crisis became the gilt market crisis (which was a catastrophe for almost all pension funds and the economy as a whole). This itself is well explained here:

(In case you haven't noticed, I think TLDR news make absolutely fantastic videos and would recommend checking out their videos if you are interested in high quality news).
Home life is hard for tech enthusiasts. I'm tech support for the extended family and they're pretty intolerant of my tinkering with things. Normies actually get quite upset really quickly if tech doesn't immediately work the way they want. My router started having some problems that it took me a while to get to the bottom of, this messed with my Plex server availability. My wife got so frustrated with her TV shows not working when she wanted that she's pretty much sworn off Plex and wants streaming subscriptions restarted.
This is where the huge popularity of Apple and their walled garden comes from. When I got married I made clear that I'm not doing tech support for any Apple products, so she switched to Android.
I'm not brave enough to push my wife to Linux (I've only found it to be acceptable for daily use very recently myself; and even then it was painful), when the things she uses the most are MS Office and Teams. She gets triggered if she ever needs to use my Linux computer.
You've basically described my situation exactly. I built a PC 6 months ago for Linux. I distro-hopped for a good while and settled on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Now I've put OpenSUSE on my laptop too. I would highly recommend it.
I went for an AMD GPU and have never had any problems with it. Linux is not as painless as Lemmy would have you believe though. Be prepared to learn some hard lessons and keep your data physically disconnected from the PC while you do it.
You've asked about WiFi drivers further down....on my PC, the only distros that had the correct WiFi drivers out of the box were EndeavourOS and ZorinOS. The rest all needed wired LAN to get them going.
