I use Linux for about 2 years
Up until February this year, I was still using a 14 year old DDR2 desktop. Windows 10 started to get quite slow and had some annoying crashes (mainly the fault of my goofy old hardware, of course)
I learned about Linux as an alternative through a Linux Tech Tips video about gaming on Linux, and Valve’s announcement of the Steam Deck, I was also interested in FOSS apps as alternative to proprietary ones.
Decided to try Linux Mint. With no prior experience with Linux, lack of luck finding good tutorials, and some weird thing happening with my games not launching, I had a very rough start.
But thanks to Mint, suddenly my DDR2 desktop got a lot smoother :D also, all of my drivers worked out of the box, and I got very surprised with Linux’s plug-and-play hardware capabilities.
So I decided to learn how to use it, tinkered alot with my system, and broken it alot! It was kind of frustrating, but fun at same time.
And without noticing, I had already learned lots about Linux from a more technical, and then, philosophical point of view.
Now I’m a great fan of Linux and FOSS, and have been helping friends to move to it by giving support with issues I had in the past.
I think they should improve their website download page, and have an easier installer before I can recommend it as a first distro to someone. But that’s just my opinion. Some people even get Arch as their first distro, so…
Oh, I was getting ready to answer you but it seems like candle_lighter already did it for me, and you managed to find your own answers :)
To put it in few words: I just like how Vanilla’s implementation of immutability makes it so simple to use.
Really like this distro, waiting for Orchid so I can finally stop hopping
It's the flathub repo, which is also listed on their official website! But your link is valid too
Alternatively, some folks can also try Freetube for an ad free youtube experience as a desktop app
Unless the user is mostly searching for an emulation device. For that use case, android can prove to be quite decent.
But personally, I’m on the deck team too 😁

To answer questions 1, 2, and 3:
Yes you can 👍
yep, do your rice. Maybe visit the Unixporn community.
For the most part (in MY experience) changing DEs only involves installing the desktop package, choosing your login manager, and then removing the old DE and its native apps (unless you want to keep them)
