Did you just not question my post or are you just intentionally not answering it?

What freedom do you have that you think this is infringing on?
You really don't see the answer to this or are you just being intentionally ignorant. Would you feel the same way if the government banned lemmy?
This means, that there isn’t that much testing before the release. This can cause lots of problems for the end user.
Lol you're buying into the FUD. ubuntu doesn't test every possible combination of packages, nor do they test how updates actually impact the user. Generally updates are always good for users. They fix bugs. 99% of the time someone comes to a linux forum asking about an issue, the answer is "this was fixed in the latest kernel, try updating". But because they're using distros that use ancient, 3 year old kernels, they can't.
Unless you have a staging computer where you stage your updates, you're living in an illusion about "stability", and using ancient tools with ancient bugs for no reason
Arch has an installer script now. It's literally 1 command and you get a fully working system
I haven't had an arch update break shit in almost a decade.
Steam is not in the AUR. Arch's main repos have way more than Ubuntu and Debian. And then the aur is a better alternative to installing from source or doing other hacks
The arch wiki is the gold standard for Linux, not just arch. But it definitely talks specifically about arch.
So, there are built in install scripts now. There's no GUI installer, but it's 1 command to get a full arch setup installed with a desktop environment. Arch is a 100% reasonable choice for a new user.
I just would prefer that stocks for sale were to invest in a company to help it grow,
Buying stock on the market has no impact on helping it grow. The only money that goes from investors to the company are from the IPO or any additional share sales, which aren't common.
Most of what you're saying isn't really a problem that affects anyone. You can still buy shares and collect dividends. How many shares short, or how often someone buys and sells a stock has 0 bearing on that. In fact all of that actually creates the liquidity that lets you buy fractional shares instead of having to buy in 100 share lots like you use to.
And short sellers are actually pretty important to the markets. They keep companies honest by having an incentive to investigate and publicize frauds and overvalued companies. People put way too much weight in how much impact shorting has, or people trading derivatives
Why do you think short selling should be illegal? It's just borrowing shares
It's a rhetorical question when presented like that
The web is literally unusable without ad blockers. Your question is like asking "why should I stop bashing my face into the wall?"
