You really want to deal with wine through another layer like lutris if you're new to wine. Lutris doesn't just bring a different wine version, it brings environment variables, dxvk... Wine alone does not work well, it needs to be setup.

It's little grievances that eventually pile up and one day you'll just have had enough and switch.
It's more complicated than that, distros typically have specific patches for packages and they assume you're running a particular kernel version. By running another kernel version you're going into unsupported territory. Yeah you can do that, and it'll probably be fine, but using another distro that actually supports the edge kernel is less risky and takes a few less clicks.
They do. Linux mint is great for office work and opening firefox. If you want a gaming distro i'd use something closer to the edge like fedora / endeavour os.
Is that actually a windows thing though? I know i can set up that shit in the mobo's bios, from turning on the computer at specific times to keeping the peripherals on when shutdown.
Supposedly Windows can mess with the linux bootloader if it's on the same drive, i never had it happen back when i still dual booted. Reinstalling the bootloader isn't too hard though if it ever does happen.
Yes. Linux on desktop is by design modulable, you grab parts from plenty of different packages and put them together to make a distribution. Gnome and KDE are just packages, large ones with plenty of dependencies to be sure, but just packages. Here's the gnome package on arch, do you see any driver?
Literally never heard of it before. Please don't recommend tiny distributions to new users, they're a pain to debug due to the lack of information, and they typically have much less support.
drivers for software
That's not a thing.
theme brings drivers
Gnome and kde don't bring drivers, they bring a compositor. The drivers come from LINUX and other packages like MESA which are distro agnostic.
only working on Windows
OS compatibility is in the hands of the engineers and developers, or more accurately in the hands of corporations that will go where there's money. If you want shit to work on linux, you need to use linux.
They can't be too heavy handed, otherwise they'll end up with another IE lawsuit that fucked them over. Instead what you have is windows slowly creeping up the enshittification, slowly pushing the boundaries of what they're allowed to do, and doing so regionally too, with the EU getting less shit shoveled in.
The problem about being active, is that the moment you stop you'll put the weight right back on. Most people don't take up going to the gym for decades, it'll last a few months, maybe a few years. Long term weight management needs to be about food intake.
