40 years ago they didn't sell them by millions with each copy cost being a few cents. It's price gouging simple as.

Max Kidruk - Colony. The New Dark Ages
Dunno if it was or ever will be translated into english. It's a hard sci-fi book about challenges of established and semi-autonomous martian colony and other problems and challenges earth-side. It was great, if a bit longer than I prefer.
Last english language one was "Matt Dinamon - Dungeon Crawler Carl" great humor, somewhat unexpected story.
I want to buy new shoes, my old ones literally have holes in them.
You are overthinking it, without flushing ram everything works fine. OS inside VM would just boot as normal and that's it.
You do not need to shut down services to make snapshots, why would you?
I won't use fs snapsots as backups especially one as poorly supported on linux as zfs. I would go with external qcow disk snapshots and they can be pretty easily automated.
Don't fret about ssd lifespan, unless you are planning on writing tb a day they will outlive your setup. I wouldn't personally use zfs for this, unless you have a lot of memory just laying around.
Have you tried mmo games? There is high probability that there would be a local (to you) dedicated guild.
Almost two times faster that is safish to drive.
commendable, but why would you need ro run anything but emacs inside of emacs?
Developers license is free, but in general yes, you need to pay for rhel (worth it).
Game development now is cheaper and more accessible than ever before, blockbuster games with budgets in hundreds of millions should flop and never recoup money invested in them. Graphically games made last year and games made ten years ago are comparable, and on nintendo switch both would look horrible so graphics is out, games from nintendo often are entertaining, but simple-ish and not all that engaging to play them for months at a time (there are exceptions but they are extremely rare). Third party games can be bought two-three-four times cheaper while being better games. So unless you are very financially stable and $100 for a game is like a cup of coffee to you arguing for increase of price goes counter to your interest as a player.
