I've used this set-up, it was great or a few years, I went back to an ergonomic chair and a precision screen.

Some games did look prettier on the TV, it has a much better colour contrast!

Do people switch controls mid game?

How about flat, easy to recognise icons and straight, square windows and app designs?

Brutalism for your DE!

No reason they wouldn't work on a small phone, especially back then

I miss the Vista tingle and shine, and the sounds it had

It seems Nintendo's consoles (Wii, DS, 3DS) were also more colourful and packed with music and sound then.

The Switch is so quiet. So... Dead?

God, no!

Though these do look pretty, they don't look like the buttons in Windows 95/XP and maybe that's a good thing.

And that setting up, and updating it, takes much technical knowledge, a lot of time, and the packages and their updates come from whoever on the internet much like the AUR.
For stability, I would not recommend NixOS, at all.

to allow registration as anonymously as a library card.

Sounds like a good kind of library card, what country are they from?
Here in the Nethers I need to pay with my bank (not fully anonymous) and register with my national ID card or passport (not at all anonymous) for a library card in my city.

I can vouch for Linux Mint / LMDE; their pre-installed software and defaults seem very sensible and I need far less set-up, fixing and fiddling (esp. with NVidea hardware; the open-source driver refused to make anything run on GPU with my Asus ROG Strix GTX 970) then on bare-bones Debian or Ubuntu LTS.
All four mentioned here have very stable and safe release schedules.

Bazzite's defaults help a lot with gaming (and that stupid NVidea driver) and the initial welcome-screen helps you install the Steam, Lutris, OBS, etc. you want and leave out anything you don't. It's actually helpful, really!
I do want to add Bazzite's team seems to have only one person who can sign releases, and they did misplace a key at least once leading to nobody receiving updates until they replaced the key in their installation.
Their team management does not seem the best; assuming this was a one-off thing Bazzite can still be a great, stable choice.

stable release
NixOS

Yeah, nah. Let them have Debian/LMDE, or (Atomic) Fedora, instead.

It doesn't, and offers an even friendlier experience than Manjaro IMO
