As there is (prove me if I'm wrong) no current way to dump and decrypt Switch2 games this is a highly probable hoax. I wouldn't consider this to be true and be extermely careful.

I would suggest you to choose a lightweight DE, in simpler word everything but GNOME. On my machine GNOME was eating ressources resulting in less FPS around roughly 10%-20% performance loss. But from a distro to another one I haven't seen major gap in my benchmarks. Desktop Envrionement had much more impact
Nobara but considering other option such as Bazzite and GLFOS.
Nostr and Fediverse are not incompatible, one exemple is what soapbox are doing.
- this is a lemmy community about F-Droid
These are minimalist dumphone-like launchers
Install GrapheneOS (consider this device as insecure as Google dropped support) and some minimalist launcher such as Olauncher, Unlauncher or mLauncher through Droid-ify (or another F-Droid client of your choice) or directly from source. You can also install digital wellbeing apps such as Mindful, DigiPaws, GreaseMilkyWay or Regain (that last one is proprietary and is available on PlayStore (or AuroraStore)) to help you have better control over app such as YouTube.
For YouTube you can also install some FOSS client such as NewPipe, Tubular or PipePipe etc...
Linux is just a kernel, it is the base of the kernel in Android and the kernel that runs the web (even on Microsoft servers they use it in a significant share alongside Windows).
We have seen in France some criminalization of installing alternative OS to judge people bringing "installing Linux" as evidence but this is ridiculus. IN the same time some cities are switching from Microsoft to FOSS and thus Linux.
I don't understand why you should be scared of switching beside loosing some compatibility with some software and changing your workflow and habits slightly.
Never had the opportunity to try an Intel GPU but from what I've looked they are good affordable low-end GPU for the value. However I don't know how the Linux support is. Also the AMD RX 9600 XT is a mid-range so not the same competition. I would say that if you can afford it you should upgrade to this one.
It really depend on your threat model, Proton Pass is fine. Of course a self-hosted or local solution will be more privacy friendly but at the cost of being responsable for security and good backups (3,2 1 rule).
There is no black or white regarding privacy. You want to ask yourself what you want to protect from and is the investment worth being sovereign ?
Never had any issue with my old RX 5700 XT beside hot temperature and so noise, I have mitigated it with changing thermal paste and undervolting it. 0 issue with my RX 6600, so for my RX 7800 XT either
By default PRISM doesn't allow you to add offline account without login a MS account that own the Java Edition. But you can edit a file in order to bypass this restriction. The Ely fork of PRISM doesn't have that restriction.
They try to be competitive on pricing while being more fair on the whole process chain. If they didn't cheap out on hardware by using recent SoC and latest and greatest component, the FP would be probably more than twice the price.
