Gnome is a very large project with hundreds of different developers and maintainers. I can't speak to your experience but you should avoid generalizing like that, also filing a complaint is always an option; there's a few people over the years that have been kicked out.

They probably just never got around to updating that description. I only inquired because I'd heard of that website before.

Brand new is definitely a stretch, their legal page seems to date back to 2019.

Wine can run 32 bit games with WOW64 without the 32 bit libraries

Tilda is barely maintained anymore, you can get Tilix that has the same quake like feature. You can also add the quake terminal extension to your favorite alternative if you use gnome.

Wine-GE was abandoned for the new UMU-launcher. Lutris will use UMU if you target the GE-Proton (latest) version.

You can always use vanilla wine or wine staging too, make sure you install dxvk in the prefix though with winetricks.

Installing things on linux is generally the same as phones. There's a shop-like GUI where you can look up your applications and get them, they'll also update automatically.

If the software isn't in your distribution repository, that's when it starts to be like windows, you need to hunt it down and either get an appimage or something like that, or build and compile it yourself.

Yeah sorta. First you gotta know what the problem is, good luck getting the average user to figure out the UI looks off because of the padding. Then you gotta know where and how you need to change it to make it better.

Customizing is cool for power users that like to fiddle with their settings, however it can't replace good defaults; not that I have anything against the defaults in this case...

Defaults matter, most people never bother customizing.

Use diff patches and automate with some bash scripting.
