#1 finds ways to not give you a solution despite having one. #2 finds ways to give you a solution despite not having any.
I haven't seen any negative criticism on chillicheescript here.
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.
What disrupted the fun for me:
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.
It can be worth the effort, if the tool fit your needs and wants in the first place.

I prefer CLI for many applications, because GUIs have become more difficult and overwhelming to use.

I use mainly fish and occasionally nushell.
I didn't get far learning any language using free online resources (technically English, but that was/is rather a passive learning experience).
I mostly used Duolingo to take the first steps and to challenge my interest for the language. At a certain point I prefer language-specific services, e.g. for Esperanto there is lernu (I stopped that, because I hated a few concepts of the language).
I learn Japanese on and off. I'm currently at my third or fourth attempt I believe xD I tried a lot from (again) Duolingo, JapanesePod101 to Memrise. On the long-term I prefer to use online resources secondary, e.g. existing Anki vocabulary decks to guide my textbook. And for a language like Japanese I like to use different kinds of dictionaries, articles and historical context, because sometimes there simply isn't a definite answer T_T
Stop it! Violence is not the solution!

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.

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.
If we reduce the question to application software, it's probably Alacritty.
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?
That's what I asked Annette.
