broadly, gain flexibility, lose familiarity. just try it and see.

one thing i'll spell out, you've likely never had to consider the logic by which windows loads dll versions. essentially, if you put a modified dll file in the same folder as an executable, when the executable calls for it that modified dll will be loaded instead of the system's builtin version. game and software cracks sometimes rely on this principle. but on linux via wine/proton, that isn't the case. so you'll need to configure wine/proton to do a "dll override" in some cases (i.e when your game/software crack utilizes a modified dll). the process is pretty straight-forward, the main thing is knowing you need to do it.

One of the reasons i love noctalia shell, settings gui has a slider for per-pixel global adjustment

Lineage is privacy focused, not security focused (other than security through obscurity etc). Graphene is more secure but may require tinkering for NFC payment / banking. Graphene is partnering with Motorola for their new phones, but old/current Motorola phones won't be compatible. IMO best bet for daily driver is a used/refurb older pixel or pixel A, like pixel 6a or pixel 7a are sub-$200 even brand new sometimes. e/os is another option but I haven't used it (don't have compatible device) so can't comment on it.

Yeah it's a prequel though, if the rumours about it being a Faye game are true

"goddess of war" isn't what they're going for. she's a regular human

game story spoileras far as kratos knows

ragnarok at least has some poc representation
