I actually like 11 compared to 10 (so far as I like Windows in the first place - I only use it on my work-provided computer, Linux everywhere else). People rightly complain about the advertising and tracking for why they won't upgrade but doesn't 10 have that too?

It probably also made the moose feel safer.
There isn't great support through the public system, unfortunately. A while ago when I was going through a hard spot I did end up going to some group therapy sessions at Burnaby Hospital so I think something like that is available through the public system but it's ultimately pretty limited.
Are you on / have you considered medication? In my experience, I had mental health issues throughout most of my life and therapy / counseling were really only temporary coping mechanisms. Methods like CBT could prevent me from spiraling but not from feeling crappy in the first place. Once I got on the right antidepressant my issues basically dissolved away and I haven't had any further troubles. Medication may not be right for you, but I'm just mentioning it because in some cases, for some people, counseling & therapy alone can't solve the problem.
Maybe in some narrow cases but I'd take issue with your use of 'mostly'. Here's an article about a study that looked at the environmental damage of different diets and a vegan diet is significantly, significantly better for the environment - and that's not even considering animal welfare.
It's about reducing harm. Are all crops grown the way I would like? No. But farm animals also have to be fed these same crops, so when you eat meat you not only contributed to the animal cruelty and substantial amounts of the crop-harms you identified, while a vegetarian or vegan only contributed to a lesser amount of the crop-harms.
It's not practical to live without causing any harm somewhere, but that's not an excuse to pretend that all lifestyles are equally harmful.
I think you should take baby-steps and focus first on just getting something running for you to use. Maybe first experiment with configuring an application you'd like in a virtual machine before you spend money on hardware too.
It's not even the right calculation he should be considering - a mortgage payment pays down interest and principal. Rent should only be expected to cover the interest portion of a mortgage - anything that covers principal is basically free money for the landlord. This guy is basically upset because he can't find a tenant who'll give him a free house fast enough. I have no sympathy.
How is NVIDIA for Wayland? I heard that previously it was an absolute nightmare, but I have Sway setup on my laptop and I'm wondering if it's time to switch my desktop too.
Sorry, unfortunately I don't use heroic.
Honestly I'm not sure - as I said I don't use it. I know of at least one game that's "DRM-free" but requires the GOG launcher for multiplayer (No Man's Sky). That's fairly controversial and I think the only reason why it's on GOG is because it came onto GOG back when it was a singleplayer only game.
My experience with Linux on my Framework has been pretty good but admittedly not perfect. If you want an idea you can check out the Arch Wiki's Framework page. Personally I think the repairability and upgradability of Framework outweighs the marginal increased Linux support you get with System76 (assuming they have no issues), but Linux isn't as big a priority for Framework as it is for System76.
Because it's the law and is their actual legal responsibility? Take it up with lawmakers if you think that's ridiculous, but generally most western societies have (rightly imho) decided that disabled people should have the ability to get around and that businesses need to accommodate that. Since the airlines won't let passengers take their own wheelchairs on board, then they need to assist those passengers in getting to their wheelchairs.
