As a Linux user who moved to Mac, it's not even remotely dumb.

Yeah I feel like that just defeats the purpose of it though, in that case just install Debian.
Yeah I am interested in Cosmic DE.
I liked the feel of Pop_OS!, the setup and configuration are great, but damned it was unappealing looks wise for me.
Mint is just green Ubuntu.
I recommend not using the installer if you want to learn how Linux works well.
I think Arch is a good distro to learn for new users who are interested in tech, it gives an amazing example of good documentation and teaches you a lot about how UNIX-Like filesystems work.
That being said for non-technical users with zero interest, my main recommendations are Mint if you are coming from or prefer Windows and Elementary if you're coming from or prefer Mac.
Why Chromebook?
If they want to do this kind of thing they should always least either leave them to be played whenever but offer some kind of double xp or whatever while the event is actually on, or run the event as an annual thing so you can experience it every year and you don't feel like you're missing out because you didn't get the game at release for whatever reason
Yeah an extension is no more trustworthy than the source providing it, network level adblock which you can monitor completely is probably the correct route
Ah I was hoping for a split board. Thanks for the suggestions though I was looking at the corner and the chocify before.
Use Opencore. Apple stopping support for older devices makes logical sense, technology progresses, maintaining legacy devices can become tedious and leaves the team with less time to focus on their current devices and versions.
Opencore allows you to update to the latest version of macOS even if not supported. However be aware that it isn't Apple certified but an open source project so your mileage may vary.
For your final point the Mac's I have used have been incredibly capable machines that I've been able to configure endlessly and run a large variety of languages and tools without many issues. They have sane defaults, are configurable, powerful and they run smoothly.
