Battle for Wesnoth really needs more love. I know it's popular in the open source gaming community, but seriously, it's sooooo good. Mainstream gamers really ought to jump on board.
I don't know if you've heard of Unciv, but it's another really well done open source game that needs more love:
Did it? That's not how I remember book reports.
And this does have useful information.
No shit? Really? Wow, thanks guys! I never would have guessed that were it not for the hard working folks at the Pentagon!

Based just on this, I'd suggest looking into OpenSuse Tumbleweed. It's got the reliability you need for your university work, all the software you need, and is about as close to bleeding edge as you can get without cutting yourself.
If, however, you're also looking to gain a deeper understanding of how your system works, and don't mind (or enjoy) troubleshooting problems yourself when they crop up, Arch is excellent.
It's like 700 words, dude. It's shorter than a 6th grade book report.
Oh the explanation is… complex. There are a long list of factors involved. I'm going to give you one, as I see it.
Through charisma, lies, corruption, and misdirection, our education system has been destroyed. Anything resembling logic or even basic rational thought is something you have to teach yourself in America. So, we have a massive population of ignorant folks vulnerable to nonsense, including evangelical Christianity.
Evangelical Christianity isn't actually about saving souls or whatever. It's about keeping the populace ignorant and looking at bullshit so the "conservative" leadership can rob everyone, lining their pockets and stoking as much fear and division as they can.
That's one part of why people aren't in the streets. There are many, many moving parts to what's fucked in modern America. And personally, I'd rather just say fuck it and leave at this point.

I haven't really looked back after I left Reddit. I have stopped on a Reddit page because of a search result, that's about it.
This is crazy left-field, but I always recommend Ranma 1/2 and Urusei Yatsura. They aren't, like, a lot like what you're asking for, but they're both absolute classics of manga and had an incredible influence on shonen manga the came after them. Both are upbeat, both are funny (especially UY) and full of action (especially Ranma), and are just generally great reads.
If not that, Assassination Classroom is pretty amazing, and maybe closer to what you're asking for.
$14 isn't bad for a complete game free of microtransactions, especially one with as much content as FFT.
If that's too much, but you don't like free to play economy stuff like gacha (I agree with this, BTW), then I suggest emulation. You can get ppsspp and Joan of Arc or Ogre Battle, for instance. Both are great games, full of the tactical goodness you're looking for.
What the hell? Look, man, I hate the guy but he's remarkably consistent: he works for his interests. Even when he does dumbshit things like buy Twitter, the thinks he's operating in his interests.
He's not complicated. He's a self absorbed piece of shit. That's really all you ever need to know about the fucker.
I disagree. Don't get me wrong, vim is amazing and all that, but I think nano is easier for new users to grok out of the box, making it a better choice most of the time. What it lacks in features it makes up for in transparency.
100% agree about the minimal set of desktop apps, though. That drives me crazy.
Just my 0.02$.
Edit: silly mistakes and clarification
It isn't, though. Made that way, I mean. I update maybe weekly and restart my system when I do. That's it. I seldom get notification that I need to update unless I open the Gnome Software app, and unless it's a security update, it's not imperative to do it just because it's there. And even then, it doesn't always require a restart.
I've been using Fedora off and on (mostly on) for the better part of a decade, and I've never run into what you're describing. So no. It isn't "made that way." I imagine if it were, it would be a hell of a lot less popular.
