Also curious to know if we'll see you on mastodon one day? (my client is Yuito btw)
Great. If you search for Goodwy in Aurora for example you'll find a bunch of apps starting with "Right". Here is the list on GitHub as well: https://github.com/Goodwy
I may have additional suggestions if you're interested.
Any mastodon client? Also can I recommend the Right apps collection from Goodwy and Voyager as Lemmy client (I think they match the requirements to figure on your list).
LibreWolf is indeed based on the hardened Firefox arkenfox user.js so you get its benefits which means a privacy-focused browser but Librewolf also comes with more settings pre-adjusted, telemetry removed, useless features removed....
I've played with Firefox settings for years before Librewolf was created and it saves me so much time, ensure my browser stays up to date and functional, and is able to perform fingerprints test way better than any other many web browsers I've tried.
I've been watching on the framework machines for my next one. It looks like fwupd support them for BIOS updates. Framework owners will know more for sure.
I use the open source KISS launcher for years now. Your data never leaves your device, and you can expect to save battery life
and speed up your device compared to complex and bloated launchers. KISS is just 250 KB and never connects to the Internet.
The best thing is that - behind a simplistic configuration menu - you can configure it from an ultra minimalist black screen with one text box to call when you need to launch an app, search for a contact, search on internet... to a full app drawer organized however you want (alphabetical order, your own defined categories...). It's just insane and unfortunately so much overlooked.
To investigate the issue you may want to use a bootable drive and chroot into your system. This will allow you to see any error messages using the journactl command. Once you know what's going on exactly you'll be able to fix it or get a better assistance from people here or on the Arch forum.
I know someone who encountered the exact same login behavior after this update. It appeared that some packages were broken and he had to reinstall them.
I second that. Always have a bootable disk ready (or even better a bootable image on your machine) so you can recover from any issues in a snap. Over the course of 20 years using Linux I can only remember two blackscreens. Unlike other OS, these situations don't happen randomly but mostly when the user mess up with the system (like in your case) and that's great opportunities to learn a lot about your system because that's when you really need to understand how it works.
The general idea is that a desktop environment provides you with common graphical user interface elements such as icons, toolbars, wallpaper, and desktop widgets. In other terms it's purely an aesthetic question. You can also decide which of these features will be useful to you and install the appropriate package(s) if you don't want to grab the bundle that comes with any DE.
As far of timing is concerned, you can always experiment and install what you need as you go. The only downside to wait will depend on how good your distro is in managing packages dependencies.
Personaly, my Linux journey made me realize that the features offer by a DE were actually negatively impacting my productivity and a windows manager (a tiling one for me) was all I needed. But this decision - like a lot of others - comes down to personal tastes. Note that not using a DE doesn't mean relying on the terminal only.
Here is an excerpt of interest:
"The description of the iwd project on www.kernel.org highlights simplicity as an important factor behind iwd's recent rise: "The core goal of the project is to optimize resource utilization: storage, runtime memory, and link-time costs. This is accomplished by not depending on any external libraries and utilizing features provided by the Linux Kernel to the maximum extent possible. The result is a self-contained environment that only depends on the Linux Kernel and the runtime C library.""
ArchLinux and Ubuntu respectively tested iwd on July 2020 and in Ubuntu 20.10.
Tiling WM are more than screen splitters. It's difficult to apprehend without trying it. A friend of mine had the same reasoning before actually trying one. Now he couldn't go back. Although, like everything else, tiling WM are not for everyone and that's why there're other options :)
You'll soon join the dark side of minimalism where neither tabs nor stacks are an option. That's where tiling WM push you eventually ;)
I use librewolf (fork of Firefox) with no bars whatsoever so I can benefit of the entire screen space to show me what matters:
the content. I've coupled it with the tridactyl extension for a lot of reasons, one being that it can show me the list of tabs with a keybinding (simply pressing "T" in my case).
"Traditionally, the /opt directory is used for installing/storing the files of third-party applications that are not available from the distribution’s repository.
The normal practice is to keep the software code in opt and then link the binary file in the /bin directory so that all the users can run it."

Don't expect for regular posting or any professional advice, it's just my personal experience and thoughts shared with 10 people on the planet :) Maybe 11... I can find a chair for you to join.
My personal go to brand for all my filaments is polymaker. They have a wide range of products to meet all specific needs at a right price. So far I've tried PLA, carbon fiber reinforced PLA, and PETG.
For PLA, I like their poly terra filaments because these are bioplastic, in recycled cardboard box and spool, easy to paint, and easier to sand compared to regular PLA.
