  • I gotta come to BG3's defense I'm not sure where you're trying to jump to. At least in my head I see that as "out-of-the-map fluff" meant to be present instead of a boring black void.

  • It was fun for me to switch. I had the same mentality as you had, I could've waited until windows 10 support ended to switch to Linux, but I decided to switch a few years ago and now I have years of experience.

    You'll definitely need to get used to hunting down that one single package you need to get the programs you want working. I find it nice to dedicate an evening to getting something working, and that's fun for me. For example, I took an evening to get thumbnails working in "file Explorer" (it requires ffmpeg btw). You can be lazy with Arch, but it will take time to get it perfect. The problem with arch is you can make it to your standards. If you have low standards, you can get away with a lot.

  • I'd recommend KDE and Gnome. They're the two most popular and mainstream DEs. If you ever plan on switching to another distro, being familiar with these two will benefit you.

    If you feel really confident, you can start playing with window managers.

  • It's all open source. You can merge them yourself. It is a massive technical challenge and pretty much impossible, it'd be like merging minecraft and fallout together.

    People do make money off of open source projects, not just from donations, but sometimes providing prenium features, or providing their own servers instead of you maintaining your own.

    There are project leaders, Linus has the final say in what does and does not make it into the Linux kernel.
