Have you ever been disappointed with Linux? (libretechni.ca)

Personally I haven't. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it's whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.

Isn't the 24 hour wait a one-time thing anyway? Or did they change that?

I thought it was per apk, but I could be wrong

This was posted to the Android Developers Blog back in March. It sounds like the Advanced Flow still exists. https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/03/android-developer-verification.html

Once you go through all the steps, including a 24 hour wait, it says you'll have the option to install unverified APKs indefinitely. It's a bit of a process, but it honestly doesn't sound too bad.
