I want a big cuddly plush of Tux now.

Framework and System76 are both pretty good and user-serviceable. I know System76's customer service is particularly really good.
Distro-hopping might be a sign of perfectionism tbh. I think I'm a perfectionist, and I find that Arch doesn't feel right. But when I try other distros, they have weird and odd issues that Arch just doesn't have.
If you do have that itch, give whatever distro you're looking at a try in a virtual machine. Linux has virt-manager which generally works well with Linux guests, but if you use VMware for a Windows VM, that's also a good option too.
I keep seeing that yellow Totoro everywhere.
If all you need is to control RGB, I've been satisfied with OpenRGB. OP is saying he's running Arch, and OpenRGB was quite recently moved from the AUR to the extra repos. The relevant package is openrgb.
I didn't say I was certain - just pretty sure :P That was based on what was known last year, dunno if news on that have been updated yet. I'm bound to see it on Lemmy when it does. Thank for letting me know though.
Opinions on generative AI aside, I'm pretty sure the legal consensus on the copyright surrounding it means whatever was generated is basically in the public domain, unless they've edited it in a way that's transformative.
GNOME is notorious for being against themes the way Evolve does it, mainly because themes might override default themes set by the app developers. While it does result in GNOME being more polished and coherent, some feel that it's too limiting, especially with an ecosystem like Linux's. It's essentially the trade-off you get.
Libadwaita is notorious for this - libadwaita does not allow theming by default, and apps stick out like a sore thumb on anything that doesn't run GNOME. Gradience helps match libadwaita apps to a colour scheme, and it's what I use to make Easy Effects blend as well as possible with KDE (FWIW, Easy Effects has no KDE equivalent).
Glad this exists, but I am worried with the way GNOME is going that this might not be worth it in the long run.
A lot of USB disc drives work just fine on Linux nowadays, and it's a matter of what features you want/need, really. I have a pretty expensive Pioneer Blu-Ray writer that connects via Type C, but I needed the extra features at the time so I went for that.
