Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Ventoy is an open-source tool to create a bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. Using Ventoy, we can create live USB for multiple distros in one flash disk. This is a revolutionary feature compared to other tools, e.g., Etcher, Rufus, etc, that can only create one live USB at a time. This tool is so important. Don't call yourself a distro hopper if you don't know this tool.

I faced it too. There is a PR on the ventoy GitHub repository that fixes Proxmox boot.
Let me Google that for you.

How to Boot ISO Files from GRUB2 Boot Loader
> While this works, I find this method a bit tedious to use, at least compared to Ventoy [0].
I find ventoy more tedious, because you can't use it on your hard drive with a sane partitioning scheme.
The only reason is because of how the ventoy detection hardcode the partition boundaries in its checks, and it means Ventoy can only run with the partitions set in a way that may lead to alignment issues like write-amplification: I've detailed that in https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/1342
Ideally I'd have a 10G partition after the EFI (or it could even be the EFI itself) with a few ISOs for rescue purposes + a UEFI entry to avoid having to use a bootable USB, but that's not possible with Ventoy unless I accept Ventoy choices of partition boundaries:
(pMBR->PartTbl[0].StartSectorId != 2048 ||
While this works, I find this method a bit tedious to use, at least compared to Ventoy [0].
Ventoy allows you to create a bootable USB containing any number of ISO files just by writing them as files to a partition. It even supports Windows, and has some cool features like overriding Secure Boot on some machines.

What is your favorite app that doesn't have a good open source alternative?
Last but not least there is also Ventoy. Short explanation: Install Ventoy to a usb drive, put all your isos in one folder on that drive. Now when you boot that usb drive you will see the ventoy menu, and it will allow you to boot any of the isos you put in the folder. Very handy.

Thinking of purchasing a 4080 laptop and replacing W11 with KDE plasma
Overall, don't be afraid to switch distro (use Ventoy, load a few ISOs just in case), try to make sure you have an easy way of backing up your stuff (be it with a separate /home partition, or like I do with storing everything important in a separate drive and then using symlink to make it 'appear' in their 'default' places), and you can always use VM in a pinch (consult this guide or use quickemu or gnome-boxes)

Endeavor vs Vanilla arch?
The related issue https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1111 implies it's fixed, but either way, you can just securely delete your password after the install.

Arch server ?
If you use a configuration file and don't use custom-commands, there is no problem whatsoever. I do believe Archinstall's developers are going to make sure no declaration will fail. That being said, looking at their bug tracker, it looks like Arch is moving a bit too fast for them too as there are installation-blocking bugs regularly showing up (and usually solved swiftly!) but do you want to wait for 2 months to redeploy your system your secondary disk is confusing the installer?
