some website where you can type the classics instead of just reading them

Is it this one: https://www.typelit.io/ ?

The chatbots, presumably.

This is the answer. Current stable Debian already has the latest release of Xfce (4.18); and for recent gui apps there's flatpak.

For packages like syncthing you can enable official apt repos to get the latest versions.

Other packages for which the latest versions are desirable though the flatpak versions get a bit too finicky (like vim & emacs), you can compile from source. It's not hard, even for a newbie.

Funny thing is that when the creators of the language told H.C.'s widow about it, she said he never really was fond of his name.

I was intrigued by the top bar, but the *fetch screen says 'Unity X11' for DE.

What's up with the Fedora font on the 'explicit sync' though? Hmmm...

what message? This was a real product released by Sony.

Right; a stationary Steam Machine (upgradable, etc.) would be a desktop PC running SteamOS, which should probably remain outside the purview of Valve's hardware division.

But they're already back! The Steam Deck is the resurrected Steam Machine.

'Mastering Emacs' is a very highly regarded resource; & it might be the only one that fits your requirements -- it's laid out as a book that you can read from cover to cover: https://www.masteringemacs.org/

Needles to say, though, that for the concepts discussed in the book to sink in, reading alone wouldn't suffice.

It was going perfectly smooth (Plasma 6 wayland, amdgpu drivers); though the past week or so I started getting random shell crashes. (It's very impressive that Qt apps all come back unscathed -- but I don't use too many Qt apps.)

Even before that (by about 2 years, I believe), when ZFS on Linux became OpenZFS as the shared upstream, that constituted the proverbial 'writing on the wall'.
