1. I never used Wayland but Xorg works really well.
2. Don't copy terminal commands from internet if you don't know what they do. Also, try new things just to try them. That's how I started using many things that now make the core of my computer experience. Even if something looks scary I recommend giving it a go because in most cases it is much easier than it looks (at least when you have some experience with Linux).
3. YouTube can be a good resource at the start.
4. Switching to Linux was very smooth experience for me because I wanted to inform myself about Linux before switching just to know what I'm getting into. If you go prepared you probably won't experience many problems.

Problem I have with Flatpak is their way of naming packages which makes them very akward to run in a WM. That's basically the only reason why I haven't used Flatpak since I switched to WMs, pacman and AUR also work really well so there isn't even a reason to use something else.

To be fair, I would see why. Arch isn't that hard to install anymore so some people see Arch-based distros that are just Arch with GUI installer as useless. I use EndeavourOS just because GUI installer is more convinient to me.

I use dmenu for global search and Nitrogen for wallpaper. In some WM you don't need additional programs for those two things so I recommend you to first check that for WM you use.

For general tips I recommend looking at configs of other people.

If you have PC that can run virtual machines I recommend starting there so you can see how Linux works. Use it for a longer period of time and try doing some stuff there that you would normally do on Windows.

When I used full size keyboard it knocked down my microphone so many times that it became anoying. Moving the keyboard away from microphone wasn't an option because it wasn't comfortable for my hands. Moving microphone itself also wasn't an option because of the cabels and also there is no better position for it on my desk. Combine all of that with the fact that I didn't even use numpad. Smaller keyboard is so much better for me but I see why some people like full size ones.

I haven't seen the movies. I'd like to read books before watching movies.

If you liked those you will like rest of them. I also recommend Robot and Empire books after Foundation because they are in the same universe.

It's sad that people think they wouldn't be able to use their laptops. As far as I know nothing in that video is confirmed but it's still sad that people think their old hardware that works should be replaced just because they can't run new Windows version.

Today I watched a video about some information on Windows 12 hardware support. Video concluded with basically saying that if you own a laptop you will be forced to throw it away and buy another one. It's sad because it isn't true.

Moders will make servers like they did for Wii.

I use Newsboat.

Alacritty, no particular reason. It's fast and I already made it look how I want so there is no reason to switch.

Qtile is really good. I also recommend XMonad if you know Haskell, it is my main WM.

Started more than 2 years ago with Ubuntu, now I'm on EndeavourOS.

Ricing is fun, there is no point in stopping.

Couldn't find any that works for me. At the moment I just play my music in mpv from terminal.

This reminds me of my first time installing Linux. I tried to install most recent version of Ubuntu at the time but for some reason it couldn't install and it wiped out Windows partition. Fortunetely, I was able to install LTS version in first try.

I'm glad you are enjoying Linux. Welcome to the penguin land.

There is a Unity edition of Ubuntu.

To be honest, I don't care about X11 and Wayland. X11 works really good for me, I don't have any reason to switch to Wayland.
