His actual computer related stuff has good advice in it but a lot surrounding that advice is indeed pretty sus or extrapolates to clownish end analysis. Like Ford patenting a speeding snitcher to put in their cars that reports other nearby speeding vehicles to the police is going to lead to the end of non-autonomous driving. I wonder if "car dependency" means anything to him. Just engage with it critically.

They want to get to the equivalent of vim's :

Unbind ctrl+e from your window manager / terminal emulator. The shortcut is never reaching Micro at all.

I use a PS5 controller connected through an 8bitdo USB adapter 2. It works great and has a much more stable connection compared to the bluetooth adapter I used to use. I've had no issues using it in xinput mode on Linux; games pick it up as a normal xbox controller and just work. The adapter also works great for bringing your own contoller to friends' houses for any console party games without having to do the bluetooth pairing roundup minigame. The only real issues I have with it is that there's no auto disconnect when it's idle, and as you mentioned the firmware flashing tools are all Windows only.

Add-ons work just fine. You can even get a native version of the add-on manager Minion from Flathub. Not all of addons support the gamepad input mode, but that's the same situation it is on Windows.

Is there actually an Agenda2030 or is it just late stage enshittification?

I agree he didn't do a good job evangelizing Linux. He made a video about his experiences with it, but I do think it's representative of someone googling and first time trying Linux on their own without a guide friend to tell them, "oh you can do it this way now." Him ultimately sticking with it in spite of that for data sovereignty is kind of the whole point of Free Software so I can respect that.

I like his other channels for drums / drum history (Drum Thing) and cars (Garbage Time), but notably the main DankPods channel has 1.65 million subs which could bring a load of new people's attention to Linux.

I use gifski

It's designed to squeeze the best quality possible out of the ancient format that is gif

To be fair on most Android devices sideloading isn't a very meaningful term, but on locked down devices like iOS it is.

If we both play the same one online at the same time do we risk a ban?

Yes.

I noticed that previous articles about it mentioned you could actually fake certificates and make it seem like two different games were playing? Does anyone know if that's still a thing?

You would still be risking a ban.

Closest thing I can think of would be the tags system from DWM iirc or AwesomeWM or on Wayland RiverWM. They can be used like traditional workspaces but you can have a number of workspaces (tags) active at once. However, they are more merged and tiled together instead of overlayed on top which sounds like what the special workspace would do. At the time I used AwesomeWM I never really used the tags system to it's full potential and only used it like traditional workspaces.
