I think this is very deliberate. Having played at least a chunk of all 50 games, there are only two or three that I think would have benefitted greatly from more instructions or tutorialization. Figuring out how each game works and being surprised when you find a new way to use the very simple controls is part of the experience.

Based on this post I'm gonna say take it slow with a dual boot or live installation, if at all. You mention a lot of IMO fairly minor and subjective look and feel type criteria that indicate that you'll be quite bothered by minor changes. Using Linux is going to involve major changes. If you're not willing to leave your comfort zone and relearn a few things, might as well stay on Windows.

I'm pretty wary of corporate propaganda, but from the article this sounds like a pretty clear case of some greedy people taking advantage of Valve offering to cover all arbitration costs. Yes, they're doing this to cover their ass, but it's not a malicious move and I don't see how it could be interpreted as anti-consumer.

I have no context here, but isn't getting a similar level of pushback from the community under a second alias evidence of some of it being justified? Or did people somehow discover it was the same person and then the abuse started?

I don't know much about the MMP, but I thought it ran Linux -- can you not install steam games?

Idgaf about "eyesores," but I am very supportive of efforts to make sure that solar farms are designed in ecologically responsible ways. Far too many effectively raze the underlying ecosystem in order to maximize coverage, when slightly less efficient land usage can allow the same species to flourish after construction.

........ Please research the electoral laws of the country you live and vote in!

No, we're pointing out that electing Trump is a really weird way to be anti-genocide.

It's literally 0. The entire country could vote unanimously for Stein and the electors could (and would) still just pick a winner from the two major parties.

Please research the electoral college before you discuss US presidential elections online.

Right... But unless you're suggesting abolishing voting entirely, none of this suggests that withholding your vote in protest is useful.
