- Can’t find anything: everything is meant to be searchable in lieu of having a programs menu and such. Hit your meta key (Winkey) and start typing to find or launch something, use URL bar in your file manager to search for names or content of files…etc. You can also just set icons for things if you wish.
- Instability: there is almost zero chance of you being able to destroy your environment so bad that it would require a reinstall of the OS. Since it’s just flat files on a disk and no central registry like Windows, everything can be repaired quite simply, you just need to be familiar with how.
- Capslock: unfamiliar with your intended behavior as I’ve never used Capslock like that before, but I bet there is a solution for this if you just search around. Input behavior is totally customizable.
- Desktop icons: no idea what that could be, but as mentioned above, most DE’s have or are moving away from desktop as a launch source.
- Firefox: ‘about:config’ has these settings
- Software center is just one GUI for finding things. You can install whatever you want however you want, and that’s just up to you. If you find some piece of something you want to run, the preferred method is also using a package for your OS’s package manager, but that’s just for convenience and not a hard rule. There is no “best” solution, just good habits.
Good luck!

Synology sells single bay units now, but anything that has network connectivity should work fine. If this is just off-site backup, find whatever is the cheapest. If an RPi with a USB attached disk is cheaper, do that.
You can find MiniPCs of all sorts really cheap now, though almost all have smaller onboard SSD storage.

Doesn’t seem so.
And there’s a difference between utilitarian and idiotic as well. The fact you can’t tell the difference is a “you” problem, friend.
There’s a difference between KISS and just plain useless. These apps are like beginner code for people in high school.

I think they are asking about a personal instance, not something federated necessarily. A lag server.
Anything. You don’t need any services to be public unless you choose for them to be.
No, it can just affect the boot record in some cases. This is not that case.
