Damn polybar looks much easier to configure than waybar…
Fourthing sway, specifically swayfx and (as someone already mentioned) autotiling, both of which are available in the Nix repository without hassle.

I recommend the PDF Expert app by Readdle. I’ve never paid a cent for the pro features, but I like the free dark mode.
I know Luke set up https://based.cooking/ a few years ago—is that the sort of thing you’re looking for?
Thank you! I was just suffering from this an hour ago…

What’s that tablet it’s running on?
Catchy manifesto, perhaps, but the Yippies historically (to the extent there even was such a group) were the absolute pinnacle of spectacle for its own sake. They got nothing done, and ultimately served only to hurt the public image of the legitimate countercultural movements in the long term. I think it seriously goes against the more pragmatic and action-oriented outlook of Solarpunk to take cues from these guys.
Not really an answer to your question, but personally I resolve issues relating to vi keys in Emacs by just knowing the Emacs bindings as well. When I came back to Emacs, I took a month to just use the vanilla bindings. It was painful for about a week, but boy did it pay off; not just for using Emacs (especially for niche packages that don’t have evil mode bindings), but also for other GNU programs like bash and midnight commander and such (as well as, as you mentioned, the defaults on zoomer-shell).
My first ever Linux experience was with the crouton project on a Chromebook in school (Ubuntu 16.04). A buddy of mine figured it out and we all wanted to play Minecraft during class. Thing is, I ended up enjoying tinkering with the OS as much as I did playing Minecraft… so now I’m stuck trying to learn NixOS.

The people I know in my program (undergrad History) use their computers for little more than Google Chrome (specifically Google’s Office suite), a PDF reader (sometimes also Google Chrome), sometimes Zotero, and sometimes MS Word. We get a lot of Mac’s around here, so one can imagine Microsoft products are not highly relied upon, generally speaking.
Everything’s through the browser nowadays, so I’d say just pick a stable distro, install 2 or three browsers in case something doesn’t work (like Google Docs with Firefox in my experience…), and submit everything as PDF.
Can’t speak much to LibreOffice as I write my papers in Typst (and before that in LaTeX, which got me brownie points with some of the older professors), which I find much faster, easier, and more flexible than WYSIWYG word processors.
