I’m drowning and I don’t know where else to go.
In Australia we have a thing called a part 9 debt agreement. If you enter into one of those it's an 'act of bankruptcy' but you have an agreement with creditors to pay them off over a long period and potentially without interest.
Once in an agreement I believe they must stop hassling you.
Source: had one 20+ years ago.
I could have gone bankrupt instead, but it wasn't fair to the people who I owed money to.

How can I start understanding Windows the same way I understand Linux-based systems?
It's \ instead of /
Most stuff you can find answers on YouTube.
Windows key + R to run a command easily. (cmd for example is a bit like terminal.)
Eventvwr.msc is like your syslog I think. Most problems will show up there, even if they're not problems at all. (common place to send scam targets as it looks scary.)
Services.msc to see what's running in the background. (like systemctl I think, not sure.)
Task manager - Startup tab to turn off rubbish.
Msconfig as an easy way to see services, hiding Microsoft services, or to select safe mode etc.
Rstrui to bring up system restore - works sometimes if a machine is kaput.
Regedit in rare cases - a chonky place where most app and system settings live.
File sharing - need to share the files through the usual file sharing option, but also need to change folder permissions. If only one is changed, it won't let you. Also 'control panel' network and sharing centre, advanced sharing settings, you can turn off password protected sharing for ease, but Microsoft periodically turns it back on.
Hope that helps a bit. Source: residential IT support for 20 years on Windows / Mac. Debian dabbler.

How do you deal with the heat in summer?
If it's not overly humid, evaporative air conditioners are a cheap to run way to keep cool. The personal units (Convair Classic etc) are typically about 50 to 80 watts, so a single solar panel, battery and inverter should guarantee safe, grid free cooling for one or two people.

Are there plans for Voyager to support PieFed?
I hope they do. If not, as soon as PieFed has a decent stable app, I'm switching. The deduplication is just too good.

Thanks :)
Had a tricky patch in life. Recovered. I remember the calls and letters from that time, and the relief of finding a way out. Not sure if it can help OP, but hope there's something similar available today.

We have launched a PieFed instance!
Reply in thread
For me it was the deduplication that takes me to PieFed. I'm only using Voyager at the moment as I'm lying on my side and the PieFed PWA rotates.
Here's hoping Voyager updates to support PieFed.
