Various distros over the years; used OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Solaris for a while, back using Fedora at the moment.

If she sells sea shells, what do you buy them with?
No, been blocking ads for twenty years or more.
For a balanced point of view, you should also read How to Lose Friends and Infuriate People by Jonar C. Nader.
What is the question?
Does anybody still use “a good/favourite password” any more? Use a password manager, create a different password or pass phrase for every site, and save your good/favourite password for your password manager. (Unless you’re a sleeper spy for the KGB, writing your password on a piece of paper is fine).
The Empire Strikes Back
Every colour you “see” is an interpretation of incoming light data to the eyes transformed into nerve signals to the brain. Each person has a different set of eyes and nerves, so it is likely that each person interprets (“sees”) colour differently.
TLDR: colours are a pigment of the imagination
Somewhere between Debian and SuSE on this chart, because the distros at that end are the ones that I’ve used the most. However, one can never say, “I know everything now”; and I have no doubt that other people have knowledge and skills that I lack. In this industry, you can never stop learning; knowledge is never wasted (unless like me, you look fondly back at uucp and troff).
Type faces (“fonts”) and typesetting. I personally like a face with a large x-height, double story open loop g, and a full range of f-ligatures. The art of lead typesetting has disappeared in favour of software solutions; TeX does a beautiful job, particularly when using Knuth’s faces. (Adobe’s InDesign also deserves an honourable mention, but it’s unfortunately proprietary and closed-source). And when using standard TrueType or OpenType faces, the difference between a page generated by either of them, and one output by Microsoft Word, for example, is noticeably staggering.
Rain sounds, Arabian instrumental ambient, Enya, Hildegard von Bingen. Some nights one playlist doesn’t work for me so I use another.
Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas from GTA San Andreas. I loved to spend hours just exploring, looking for the secret items, and finding the funny little easter eggs and references.
The cities in Assassin's Creed. Can’t remember the names. Are they “big”? They seemed to be at the time. I only ever played the first game in the series; again, I loved wandering around and exploring.
