Maybe EndeavourOS (a convenient installer for Arch) with a desktop that supports Wayland.

I run that with Gnome in Wayland mode on my desktop and with Sway (Wayland equivalent of i3) on my laptop and I’ve been very happy with that. You could also run KDE if you prefer

They gotta pay for that spaceship in The Expanse somehow!

Thanks for the new vocabulary. That’s a useful word

what are .webp files and why has my online experience been plagued by them?

I don’t know what a .webp file is but I don’t like it. They’re like a filthy prank version of the image/gif you’re looking for. They make you jump through all these hoops to find the original versions of the files that you can actually do anything with....

Why do so few apps (besides browsers) seem to support it? E.g. Win10 photo viewer and seemingly all my messaging apps

The format itself sounds good, and I see it everywhere online, but is there some reason it’s unsupported?

I use DNS66 downloaded from F-Droid. It registers itself as a VPN, but it’s actually a DNS filter, not a VPN. It works to filter ads on most apps, and you can individually disable it for specific apps if needed.

I also use the Firefox app, which supports a few add-ons (much less than the desktop version), including uBlock and some similar options

I’d recommend one or both. They’re working great for me on a non-rooted Pixel 4a 5G

I think most distros will work just fine. It’s gotten so so much easier since Valve invested in Proton to make the Steam Deck work.

Personally, I’m on EndeavourOS with Gnome and it works fine for all my Steam games on an AMD GPU. Years ago, I was on Linux Mint, and that worked just fine for gaming too.

One caveat: if you have an Nvidia GPU, driver support can sometimes be a headache (or at least it was several years ago when I had one). Some distros claim better out of the box support for Nvidia, like Pop OS

Person, place, thing? That’s called a Noun

Jokes aside, I think I’d call them services or platforms

I removed Edge and IE on my work computer and the only time I had trouble was when I tried to open the built-in manual in some non-Microsoft software and it failed.

I think it used some embedded browser component that Edge or IE provides
