A WM crash does not bring down all the other applications… but an X11 server crash definitely does!
In wayland they are the same program (a.k.a. the compositor). User applications can be designed to survive a compositor crash, though many are not able yet
As others have said, only word documents may give you annoyances.
I’d suggest trying it in a virtual machine first. See if you can do what you want to do. Switch to different distros if you need to. If/when you’re convinced, make a proper installation.
Another post regarding time travel got me wondering how far back in time can I hypothetically leave a modern computer where they, the most capable engineers of their time, can then somewhat reverse engineer it or even partially?
Depends on what you expect them to do exactly. Today’s transistors aren’t much different than older ones, just smaller mainly. People of, say, 20-30 years ago may have the technology to inspect them (electron microscope or something like that), and the knowledge to understand them, but not the equipment to reproduce them.
If you go much farther back in time, say before integrated circuits (1960) or even transistors (1947) were invented, I think it’s unlikely that someone could reverse engineer the thing

You could have advertising without creepy tracking surveillance. Contextual ads, based only on the content of the current page and nothing else. Still relevant, still makes money
True, but on the other hand, phone screens used to be 16:9 and have larger borders around them. A 21:9 6" phone of today is roughly the same physical size as a 5" phone of 5 years ago.
It’s also true that phone are actually getting bigger and bigger by the year, and I don’t really like that

“Is most of the rest silicates?” The question is ill-posed, because it mixes elements with compounds. Specifically, silicates contain oxygen so they can’t be counted separately.
If we go by elements, we already said that oxygen is the most abundant. The rest of the crust is mostly silicon (28%), aluminium (8.2%), iron (5.6%) and more stuff. The rest of the mantle is mostly magnesium (22.8%) and silicon (21.5%).
But most elements don’t remain isolated, they react and form compounds. Those made primarily by silicon and oxygen are known as silicates, and they are indeed the most common type of rock in the crust and mantle.
So yes, there is plenty of silicate material if one wants to use it for construction. I have no idea how good it is compared to current materials, however.
