I never dual-booted and I noticed I escaped a few traps. At best I’d base the decision on some research whether or not there is a way to run your irreplaceably essential software.

I know people mean it well and I respect that. But it’s a little indirect insult, when their first reaction is to assume that you feel bad about it and to patronize you.
Of course there are people with that mindset among short dating men who often aggressively blame women’s standards. So I try to be not too upset about it.
Yes, that is “fucked” up. The same way it is fucked up that not all VHS you once bought and own have been preserved without loss and none of them will forever. The same way it is fucked up that a software product you once bought and own won’t be updated to be usable with your requirements forever.
The mortality of a product does suck, but a) this isn’t exclusive to the greed of subscription services and b) you don’t need to use a product til the end of time to make it worth it. E.g. I don’t use Netflix anymore, but everything I was able to consume during my subscription was ridiculously worth it to me.
Why do I need to own them?
The comments here, including mine, most likely won’t help you to find a solution for that boredom. ‘Bored’ is a vague term. There can be endless ways why and especially how drastic somebody is always bored. Whether that somebody is you, somebody who asked you for help or somebody who you think needs help, you know them better than anyone here.
I don’t know the current state of Debian installation. But not too long ago, installing Arch Linux felt much easier lmao
It can be worth the effort, if the tool fit your needs and wants in the first place.
In my opinion taking your time to find the Linux distribution you like the most, is not only a great learning experience, but also allows you to learn more about your own preferences.
I’ve never seen a more mysterious and adventurous description of Linux. Just in case you ever write a novel on your first steps in Linux, you should know that you’ve got one reader already.
I prefer CLI for many applications, because GUIs have become more difficult and overwhelming to use.
#1 If someone has the macho habbit of not feeling in need of documentation, they need to unlearn it.
