My thunderbird sends out invites just fine. Just create an event, invite guests and voila. The adressed people get an according mail. The workflow is not as mature as on outlook though, because you don't get to edit the mail or check availabilities.

There are a lot of issues with your post imo.
First, cash is going away, soon. Sweden has done it years ago. Europe is now playing catch up.
Second, a universal digital currency will remove all system heterogeneity. Yes money is already digitalised, but across several proprietary environments. I can and have set up several accounts across several banks so my spending cannot be fully tracked by a single corporate entity. This will be moot once everyone has to use the same harmonized system.
Third, one of the sponsors of the universal European currency has been caught talking about time limited digital currency. As in, spend your money or it just disintegrates after a set amount of time. Which really destroyed a lot of trust in the endeavour
To the surprise of no one, it's just a matter of time until local accounts in personal windows editions are removed entirely.
Especially as a new linux convert I would say wait a bit before switching to an immutable distro. They have their advantages but the concept probably feels pretty alien for most windows users, where you can install whatever and it just works. I've been a long time Nobara user and it's pretty good, especially considering it's basically just one guy maintaining it. But it does break on updates from time to time. My personal recommendation after getting used to linux would be opensuse tumbleweed. It's constantly updated but never breaks. You generally don't need a gaming centric distro, especially if you're rocking an AMD card.
They've been around a bit now. Everyone seems to be pretty satisfied. Desktop app could use some improvements, which is already on their roadmap
I'm curious to see how the combat mechanics will be accepted. Reads like Mass Effect in a high fantasy setting. Could be cool, but at the same time, Dragon Age fans will come to expect something more strategic.
I think that take is short sighted. Because the next obvious step to "no right to online anonymity" is "online anonymity is illegal", and it's pretty obvious we're headed that way. In that case, courts can make it pretty fucking hard to protect your right to privacy.
I started it as well. Had weird sound issues that I had to fix by downgrading my system sample rate. It looks and feels amazing now that it works.
Money transfer platforms are even worse than chat apps in terms of how acceptance dictates usefulness. You might convince a couple of friends to use xmpp instead of whatsapp. But its near impossible to get major outlets to integrate new payment methods. Especially if that platform advocates privacy and therefore doesn't offer a return on invest based on user data. I don't think we're gonna see true alternatives without government regulation, and even then...
fighting over the little money that most younger gamers have to spend
That's where the money is tho. Presents, pocket money, paychecks that don't need to go to rent and utilities. Everything I had I put into games when I was a kid. Sure I do have more money now, but I also have exponentially more bills to pay. My dad is retired and is pirating left and right cuz he can't afford gaming. Also, kids don't inform themselves before buying. They're much more prone to ads, social pressure, etc... Adults don't care if a game is 5 years old, which incidentally can be bought for a fraction of the initial price.
Strictly speaking, if being trackable is an issue for you, you shouldn't run around with bluetooth enabled in the first place. And incidentally, no BT means no find my device either.
Yup. There's a tab called attendees. Just add people there by right clicking and make sure notify attendees is checked.
