Fellow Linux noob, just started using it earlier this year so if someone with more experience wants to weigh in, please do.

That said, gaming on Linux is pretty good. Steam's proton makes most games playable out of the box, although it's still a good idea to check Proton DB to see if any particular game you want to play is playable.

As for your other question, I'm not totally sure what you mean by accessible and customizable, but I don't think any of your peripherals are going to be distro locked. The Arch Wiki is a pretty good resource for, well, everything, but most relevant to you for your peripherals (it also usually gives good information for any distro, not just arch)

Nah, Bitwarden is what I use. It has a free tier and a paid tier for $10/year that adds some extra features. You can read about both on their website.

You can also autofill on mobile and desktop with the mobile app and browser extension respectively (the mobile app also let's you autofill in any app that requires a login, which is nice)

I recommend going for a password manager. Bitwarden (and probably every other modern password manager) let's you import passwords from a file and Firefox let's you export all your passwords as a file. All you have to do is take your FF passwords and chuck them into your password manager of choice

I love Proton and will advocate for it any chance I get, but I can also see that it might be good to have people like you who don't put all their eggs in one basket

I remember figuring this out when I realized my vpn wasn't connecting while I was inside of my secure folder, which acts like it's own user profile

You need a VPN that can split tunnel by ip via CLI (although I think it's also possible to set it up in an ovpn file, but I haven't tried it). The only one I've found that can do this natively is proton, specifically the python community version.

I don't know how this next part works if you use something that isn't tailscale, but if you do then just set proton's split tunneling for 100.64.0.0/10

Then, still on this machine, advertise the exit node from tailscale (you also have to allow it from your tailscale admin console). Connect to it from your phone, making sure to use the server as an exit node, and head over to ip.me to see if it's working

If I'm understanding correctly, I think I've actually done something similar with tailscale. I run a VPN on my server and use it as a tailscale exit node (since it's always running, I never have to worry about it turning off) and this allows me to connect to my server remotely while using a VPN, since Android also doesn't allow simultaneously VPN connections

They're already grouped together in a list that you already linked in the original post

Serious question about this argument. Try translating tenths of inches... to what? I assume you're not talking about converting to metric because then any unit is problematic, and if you're using tenths of an inch then you're using inches, not something else, so... what's the problem?

Can you explain why you don't recommend GNOME? I installed Pop when I built my first PC about a month ago and I haven't noticed anything problematic
