It depends on what you install. You can do an arch install without Wayland. I'm currently running x11 on Arch with Wayland also installed so I can switch back and forth at any time.
However, unless you like to spend time learning how Linux works, I'd just go with another distro like Nobara. It will have everything you want pre configured.
The issue the post is about applies to password managers too.
Alternatively, Piped has SponsorBlock built in. It also has DeArrow support, but I find it causes too much of a slowdown so I keep it disabled. Plus, since I only really watch from my subscriptions, clickbait is less of a worry for me.
Don't worry! We have ghosts of our own to fight back!
The program responsible for logging in and starting your window manager is called the display manager. Sddm is the default for KDE and GDM is the default for Gnome.
Technically, you don't even need a display manager as you could login and start the window manager manually directly from the TTY. That's just mainly useful for when you break something in your display manager config though.
This seems like a great approach. Unfortunately, unless I have misunderstood something, it seems I would have to be first diagnosed with something that would give cause to needing an emotional support animal. It does not seem like I would be able to do this in a timely manner. Once I get any place though, I'll definite pursue this to prevent any further issues of having a pet.
