Proton, Mullvad, Ladybird, Brave, GOG, etc…

Alt-right bs really is just showing up everywhere

The main dev is also a right wing chud who prides himself on being “apolitical”.

You actually can use a minipc. Minisforum has their NAB series and those have a slot in their internals for an SSD and they have an NVME slot in the motherboard. I found a NAB9 with an NVME, SSD, and 16GB of ram for around $310. So I would look for used NAB6s (cheaper than NAB9) on EBay. You should find some for under 300 with the Data SSD and NVME.

Oh absolutely use whatever works for you! You can always try Cachy on a live usb if you really want to explore it. And yes it does have great support for Nvidia

Bazzite is peak for a couch or media pc. CachyOS is great for daily use computer with a focus on gaming, especially laptops

That’s KDE Plasma. You can use that on most distros
