The Dynamic Kernel Module System automatically builds your modules for your updated kernel.

I really like Void Linux. It is a bit harder to use if you’re a beginner, since it’s really minimalist and uses its own init system, but overall it’s really customizable and packages are kind of new (it is currently on the 6.6.21 kernel version, as a measure).

No.

Not sure really since I don’t have an Nvidia card. Pop! OS and Nobara are just general recommendations I found on the internet.

Though if you have an Nvidia card you should install Pop! OS or Nobara Linux since they have an Nvidia ISO so you won’t need to struggle with installing them later on.

Probably Linux Mint (https://linuxmint.com) will be the best experience for you. If you have newer hardware or you’re not sure scroll down to the bottom on the download page and download the “EDGE” iso since it has newer software than the default versions and more hardware support. If you have older hardware, you can probably install the Cinnamon iso too but if that doesn’t work install the XFCE iso. Finally flash it onto a USB drive with https://etcher.io/ and boot into it, testing if some things work like audio and video. Software like VSCode etc. are already on the software manager so you won’t have much trouble with writing JS.

I don’t have 2FA for my GitLab account since it’s only accesible via my GitHub account which has 2FA. Is this good or should I add 2FA to GitLab also?

Paying for a text editor, who doesn’t like that?

DDG is just a Bing frontend. Using SearXNG is mostly better since you can get results from multiple sources.

Honestly WiFi support, it isn’t as bad as it was before but still some really popular cards like RTL8821CE aren’t properly supported (i know there is a dkms driver but it isn’t properly maintained and doesn’t work for the latest kernel versions).

Wasted on F-Droid.

Please no, no need for political extremists and bots on Mastodon.

Microsoft Store already has browsers like Firefox.

It’s a web app, you don’t really need a native application for it.

Seems like you’re currently using Pop! OS. Just wanted to give you some tips: Don’t install Manjaro, AFAIK their packages are mostly outdated and the distro says it supports the Arch User Repository when it clearly does not and breaks the system. Some more distros that you can use are Nobara (which is Fedora based so there is a chance you will face the same issues), Linux Mint, KDE Neon and Ubuntu.
