I can't speak for your particular interests, but in my experience there is something for pretty much every niche. That's what keeps YouTube in their dominant position as well.

Proton can also be used by other tools like Bottles. It's very similar to Lutris but with a more general purpose focus, rather than just gaming.

But even with an immutable distro you don't have to reboot. The updated image just gets downloaded in the background and booted into when you restart. There is no harm in still being booted from the old image id you don't specifically need anything only included in the new one. Nothing forces you to reboot.

I'd argue it's implied that you mean the coming February if no year is specified.

Considering the clashes system76 had with the GNOME team this seems to be going in a similar direction. Having a clearly defined way of theming applications instead of having themes just inject random css is the way to go in my opinion. I'm really excited to finally try Cosmic DE myself!

Firefox Relay is the best platform agnostic option in my opinion. It's free to use for the basic variant and with Relay Premium you support Mozilla and can use custom domains as well.

At least Brave forks Chromium and they have a bunch of patches they apply to the codebase. I mean yeah, they still contribute to the Chromium monopoly but calling them just a rebrand is a bit unfair in my opinion
