It could be a game issue. I remember a lot of games had issues with alt-tabbing back when I used windows. It could also be a Wine issue. I had one game that started freezing when alt-tabbing after a Wine update a couple months ago. Rolling back to the previous version fixed it.

You can't find anything on discord with a web search. You can't even open it without logging in. Once you're logged in, good luck finding an answer to a problem that was posted a year or two ago. That's much worse than reddit.
It could be worse. At least they didn't move to discord or facebook.
Single core? That must be more like 20 years old now.
It's not uncommon for a single web page to use 5-10MB. Shopping and social media sites are the some of the worst since they have lots of javascript libraries and pictures. It's not hard to use a couple GB in a day without streaming anything.
Modern websites are excessively bloated. That data goes fast.
I wouldn't suggest relying on Google for anything. https://killedbygoogle.com/
Search and Gmail are probably about the only thing they won't kill.
Downloading bluray rips will give you the best quality. Any DRM should be removed when it's ripped. Movies are usually 1.85:1 or 2.39:1 and will be letterboxed since that's wider than a normal 16:9 TV. You can either crop it out, which will require re-encoding or just zoom in while watching it. A hardware video encoder will make the files larger. I would recommend using software encoding if you have the time.
The remastered version is also incompatible with the 32,000+ mods that have been made for the original version.
You can use MakeMKV to rip your blurays on Linux. Normal blurays are easy to rip, 4K needs an old drive with custom firmware. It's free while it's in beta, but you will have to get a new license key every month.
Just remember that you will be required to remove any illegal content that people post. I certainly wouldn't want to be responsible for that.
Wow, I didn't realize the windows tax was that high. I thought the bulk OEM licensing was significantly cheaper than the retail price.
