Schools in the US have tests on Saturdays? We don't really have an equivalent to SATs here in Canada, but I figured it was just a summary exam or something you took like anything else.

This absolutely feels like something that would have been on the wall in my public school library
Ah, my bad. I think I misunderstood your point and took you to be gatekeeping rather than just attempting to defend against misinformation or poor comparisons.
You're right, it's not a Windows replacement. It shouldn't be expected that it's analogous to Windows. My previous statement was coming from the expectation that people moving from Windows to Linux as their primary OS of choice was that they were explicitly looking for the advantages offered by it, rather than simply expecting to get away from Microsoft while needing to adjust to nothing new.
This is...kind of stupid? There's such a plethora of options in the Linux space for desktop environments, workflow customizations, configurability, etc. nothing is locked down by taking a Windows-style approach to a DE. Instead it follows a tried philosophy that's only really been hampered by Microsoft's decision to funnel users into an frustrating hole that removes the choice to disable or modify features you don't like. KDE in particular has always been a Windows-style DE, and it's currently one of the best options for modern features and extensive customizability. Hyprland is literally designed for linux enthusiasts. Gnome is the Mac analog, Xfce is your light-weight but functional, etc.
You're upset because people are looking for more options? That's bizarre. I came from Windows, but I guarantee my setup is different than someone else who comes from Windows because that's the flexibility that's offered. No one coming from Windows wants it to be exactly like Windows, they just want to be able to use their computer in a way that allows them to work, to play games, to watch media, etc. It's a computer. It's your computer. It should be able to do what you want.
It sounds to me like your brother may have just taken the wrong approach. Perhaps involving that sister less by means of active participation, but just exposing her to the creative process and using her as a consultant may have improved that outcome. I don't figure you or your brother are expecting advice, but generally I find that it's best not to try and dominate someone else's interest as a means to involve them. Otherwise they may end up feeling dissatisfied or not immersed enough in the game itself.
The toughest part about enjoying TTRPGs is finding a DM that lets you exercise your variety of creativity. If your only experience is with your brother as a DM, it could be you just don't necessarily vibe with his style of doing so.
Not knowing this was a literal, brewing at home community, I spent too long looking at the jolly ranchers and wondering how this fit into some form of TTRPG homebrew campaign.
Hope your strange distillate makes for a pleasant drink though!
I enjoyed it, and I'm excited to see what comes next. I'd be lying if I didn't think the original run was lackluster until it got going properly too.
May we see it?
Nah, this is just what it's been like from the moment Lemmy got momentum. The fediverse is pretty fundamentally aligned with the goals and interests of the same people who are part of the FOSS and Linux philosophy. From where I joined more than a year ago, it's been more or less the same.

Wild. We just have pre-requisite courses that typically qualify you for University programs. You overall grades matter, but there's nothing like an SAT
