You might be able to run the latest KDE or gnome in a distrobox podman or docker container:

I want to like Plasma, really I do, but even when I haven't chosen it as a DE it overheats my laptop because Baloo File Extractor just won't fucking quit consuming a CPU core for what seems like hours a day.
I remember having this issue. Basically, it was a bug, where baloo file manager was stuck on a file. After some time (and maybe a reinstall?), and deleting the index, baloo worked fine.
Yes

My understanding is that gnome also has support for drawing tablets built in, and there are also other apps to customize buttons.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Graphics_tablet
The Arch Linux kernels include drivers by the linux-wacom and DIGImend projects. linuMLx-wacom supports Wacom devices, while DIGImend supports devices from other manufacturers. Both projects publish a list of supported devices: linux-wacom, DIGImend
Due to how many devices are supported, your best bet is to simply go to your nearest store that sells them and then checking if Linux supports it against those two lists, which there is an extremely high chance it does.
Then you should also check reviews, to make sure you get a good one.
I have a Wacom Intuos CTL-4100WL, and it's served me well for math notes using Xournal++ (app for handwritten notetaking), but I truly have no idea how good it is for actual drawing related applications, as I don't do it for that at all.
This reminds me of kasmweb, but fully open source.
Yeah, I read that manual but it didn't answer my question.
The big problem is that the arch wiki describes a setup with nested subvolumes first (in a subvolume below @ or whatever your root subvolume is), but then suggests in a tip to use a subvolume directly below the top level subvolume. The limitations mentioned in that manual don't seem to apply to either setup, as they would prevent swap from working, which is not the case. I have tested both setups and they work fine — or so it seems. I'm worried there is some hidden gotcha I'm missing.
in addition to that, some of those limitations simply don't apply to my setup, as I only have a single device.
After Twitter went to shit, where else do customers have to go for customer support like this?
Admittedly, I didn't read the article, but I have seen plenty of other cases woth cloudfare or other big providers where people have only been able to set things right by kicking up a fuss on social media
like that recent one with amazon aws.
Ventoy. I love it so much, being able to have more than one bootable iso and storage on a usb.
Although, it is slower to boot the more folders you have, since it scans all folders, but this is configurable
I use nix-shell to get the ventoy cli for when I need to install it to a usb stick.
Not quite a scripting language, but I highly recommend you check out cosmo for your usecase. Cosmopolitan, and/or Actually Portable Executable (APE for short) is a project to compile a single binary in such a way that is is extremely portable, and that single binary can be copied across multiple operating systems and it will still just run. It supports, windows, linux, mac, and a few BSD's.
https://cosmo.zip/pub/cosmos/bin/ — this is where you can download precompiled binaries of certain things using cosmo.
From my testing, the APE version of python works great, and is only 34 megabytes, + 12 kilobytes for the ape elf interpreter.
In addition to python, cosmopolitan also has precompiled binaries of:
And a few more, like tclsh, zsh, dash or emacs (53 MB), which I'm pretty sure can be used as an emacs lisp intepreter.
And it should be noted these may require the ape elf interpeter, which is 12 kilobytes, or the ape assimilate program, which is 476 kilobytes.
EDIT: It also looks like there is an APE version of perl, and the full executable is 24 MB.
EDIT again: I found even more APE/cosmo binaries:
