I remember like 5 years ago I was doing the same, but then I realized Windows is even worse with many problems and limitations. I can't just go to Windows, it sucks. Maybe you need compatible hardware or some more skills on Linux to fix your hardware issues.
For just two VM, any Linux distro is enough, virt-manager to easily run those VMs up and done. The default network will allow them to communicate between their NAT. Proxmox sounds too many complications for just some testing or development stuff.
I use virt-manager GUI to control KVM easily, but you can control anything easily with virsh command lines. I dislike VMware and VirtualBox, neither needed. Also, on terminal client virsh you can do much more configurations than just with virt-manager.
Well, then I can't help, I normally always get those that cost more than 200 USD, they have it all (Bluetooth + dongle) and with high quality (+ noise-canceling). Mines are WH-1000XM4 if you are interested, and I'm very happy with them, in the past I had Bose QuietComfort 35 and Sennheiser Momentum M2-AEBT and I would still get Sony WH-1000XM4 as it is smarter with many features and quality.
More than "with Linux" you should indicate how much do you expect to spend here, it's not about the OS, it's about what kind of headsets you want (what features).
"life sentence in prison" means he is sentenced for life, so if he gets alive again he would be still with that sentence that is for life. It's not a "sentence until death".
Worried about DAS, but not about Google? 🤔 "USA Freedom Act"? They forgot about PRISM? DAS sounds just ISP work for PRISM law. As any USA company is forced to.
I still think KDE is a much smarter desktop environment and much more light or fast. I never liked GNOME 3 and Unity had many performance issues in the past. I also tried GNOME 3 recently and still, I needed many plugins to make it good and usable and was still lacking much stuff, while on KDE works all perfectly. I'm waiting for Plasma 6 now. :D
I already saw many issues with PopOS, I think they aren't really that good at Linux and that's why it's messed up, you probably uninstalled most of xorg tools. Try Linux Mint, is more stable and serious.
Once you learn about Linux, you go faster than any other noob. And that is very useful for programming/hacking jobs, faster than all those noobs with 0 knowledge about what is what.
Many distros do their own packaging on their repos, adding dependencies and custom-builds with custom configurations, and this often breaks my OS. On arch, this doesn't happen to me. What's your experience?
