Linux is a lot like a duck with teeth.
and a good firm swirly penis
The funny thing is that the biggest practical benefit to most Linux users is not the access to do these things.
It is the secondary effects of not needing to restrict access in order to preserve lock-in and enshittification. It makes the whole user experience better because it is only doing wider you've asked it to do. For example, I apply updates more quickly on Linux than I ever did on Windows, even though my Linux DEs are way less pushy about it, because the process is an absolute breeze!
Look at each OS option like you were a product development team, and think "who are my stakeholders?"
The commercial products have long lists of what's driving the product features and anti-features. Linux has the developers who want the code to be helpful and stay free, and the users who want it to do what it says on the tin, with the option to audit or modify the system's code. But of course it's still run by humans, so big personalities and bad actors and whatnot do affect things.

"I can't run the application you need"
"I can't digitally sign a pdf without a phd"
I think digitally signing means different things in different contexts. I made a GnuPG key but idk what I'm doing. But I use docusign all the time.
Docusign is a certificate authority that requires no actual signing. You can literally sign with an "X" and if someone asks "did Sem sign the contract?" they can check their database and say "yep".
That's all Docusign does. It's a middle-man.
GPG keys cut out the middle-man, and if someone asks "did Sem sign this document?" you can literally say "yes, please use my public key to test"
More like "I will run literally anything besides things you shouldn't run because of privacy concerns... Though you may need 3 hours to install it."
"RAM shortage? What RAM shortage? I smell DDR3 somewhere in the room, use that, I will still run fine"
Ddr3? Thats way too modern i run linux on ddr1 and sdram machines
That app that infringes your rights is the one you need to earn a living.
Ok then use wine or dual boot
It won't stop privacy concerns but at least it makes it more complicated for microslop to collect everything about you

oh just you watch me delete system files on my rooted android
And now your bank app doesn't work.
it works quite well actually. even got tap to pay!
Linux is awesome. The upsides of my distro (Mint) are all better than all the downsides of Scumsoft's Micro(penis is)soft.
Somehow, I just managed to get 20 year old Mac software running on my linux setup the other day, something impossible even on a modern Mac setup no doubt.
On Linux you can indeed install old apps. You will just need to spend few hours doing so... or use Flatpak I guess.
I use Debian GNU/Linux ftw.
If your old piece of software is not available through Flatpak, you can use DistroBox to run your app inside a container with older Debian/Ubuntu.
The only old software I've installed worked fine but I also compiled it myself. Which was quick because of the comparatively small codebases.
Linux needs to be a Canadian goose. Those cobra chickens are just fine when you let them do their thing and ignore all the shit left behind cause youβre not sure itβs important to the planet, but the moment you start to mess with it and you donβt know what youβre doing they will fuck you up!
I can't stop you from breaking the whole system when you try to configure something and you do it wrong π
