Vala Programming Language
Go is notoriously difficult to use in a scenario like this, especially when bindings to C# in the form of https://github.com/gircore/gir.core exist (overhead of calling which is very low by nature of interop being a first-class feature since .NET's inception).

is Plasma written in C++ or QML, or both?
In C# you would implement GUI apps with MVVM using XAML, WinUI or https://github.com/gircore/gir.core

Is it possible to write libadwaita apps using C#?
It is! The library you’ll want to use is gir.core.

.NET 6 is now in Ubuntu 22.04
gir.core is early in development and would allow you to develop GTK applications (or rather anything to do with GObject) although im not sure how much you can do with it currently.

Vala Programming Language
There's also a lot of apps written in Vala for elementary OS's AppCenter with screenshots & links to GitHub: https://appcenter.elementary.io/ (not all, but most). I published two apps there and using Vala has been a great experience for creating Gtk/Linux desktop apps.

elementary OS Updates for March, 2023
COVID hit like immediately afterwards so the sprint we had planned didn’t happen, but we did deliver on making AppCenter Flatpak-based so you can now install AppCenter apps on any distro just like you would any other Flatpak remote. You can browse and download apps at https://appcenter.elementary.io

A word about Linux developers and economy:
So, something along the lines of the elementary AppCenter?

Frustration with Linux'y installs... just venting....
I'm not sure why you said it is difficult to distribute Flatpaks outside of Flathub. On the repo host side elementary has their own Flatpak repo complete with an app payment system (before even Flathub has one). On the user side I can simply download a .flatpakref from appcenter.elementary.io and double click it, which will open Software with the app's metadata, and clicking Install will add the repo and install the app.

Is there a market for paid software designed for Linux?
Elementary OS has a pay what you want store. That might be a good route to go down.

Distro for Dell Inspiron 15 for some gaming, video editing, programming and design?
Yes, elementary is Ubuntu based, however it stands very far from it. It doesnt use snaps at all and instead uses flatpak. You can also just use apt if you really don't like Flatpak either. The "main" way to install software is through the AppCenter app, which uses flatpaks. They have their own software repository (appcenter) where apps are "curated" (aka all follow the elementary HIG and use the latest SDK version). But you can also install "non-curated" apps (aka from Flathub) directly from the AppCenter.

What is your ONE Steam Deck tip/trick you'd like to share?
You probably know that if you use desktop mode, you can use Discover to install a bunch of applications via Flatpak from a repository called Flathub. But, you can add an additional repository from another distro, Elementary OS, to get access to even more apps. They will show up in Discover, just like all others. To do this, simply execute:

Other than flathub what repositories are there?

If you could donate money to any Linux organization, distro or application what would it be and what functionality would you want your money to go towards?

Is flathub the only flatpak repository?
