If you make a custom Linux distro, is there a way to turn it into an iso file and share it with people? Also, would there be a way to send updates to it without having to overwrite everything on your computer?
Check out ALMA for creating a bootable USB with preset files for custom packages.

Arch + Arch Dualboot?
I'm a big fan of this project for managing portable arch installs: https://github.com/r-darwish/alma

An arch based distro that has persistent mode.
This above wiki led me to ALMA https://github.com/r-darwish/alma

My experience switching to Linux
Something like this would work to setup a portable USB install: https://github.com/r-darwish/alma. You can install whichever DE you want on top of that.

German state planning to switch 25,000 PCs to LibreOffice
I'd recommend Arch Linux for developers.
It takes a little bit of set-up / learning at the start. But you can easily try it out with a tool like ALMA - https://github.com/r-darwish/alma
See my preset files here - https://github.com/jamesmcm/arch-i3-usb
But PopOS is probably the closest to the previous beginner Ubuntu experience now.

Does bare bones Arch Linux have good terminals and browsers?
As a bonus for the only thing I can possibly think your trying to do, here is ALMA, the lazy man's Arch Linux Mobile Appliance(usb) creator.

Installed Arch on usb, works on my pc but not another
I've used alma to make portable Arch installs for a couple of years with good results. Maybe give that a try if you can't sort the issues with your current portable install.

VM or Machine to Learn Arch
You can use ALMA to create a persistent USB disk - https://github.com/r-darwish/alma

A Linux Story - Aka Laugh at me For Catharsis 2
I'd recommend checking out ALMA for creating pre-configured, persistent USB installations. Here is my collection of preset files.

CloudLinux readies CentOS Linux replacement: AlmaLinux
Although I like the project and look forward to testing it (and possibly switching over), I really don't like that Alma already is the name of a linux distro (https://github.com/r-darwish/alma).

The Bun Shell
Many mobile apps are written in JS/TS with React Native.
Linux desktop environments like Cinnamon [1] also use JavaScript for the UI. Linux Mint with Cinnamon is invariably among the top 3 Linux desktop distributions (on distrowatch [2]).
If anything, stats probably don't accurately capture how ubiquitous JS is.

GNOME's Dynamic Triple Buffering "Ready To Merge"
Will it be ported to Gutter and Cinnamon? There's a feature request open from 2022 but no answer https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/11141
- Can't install Mint
- "Devs have better things to do"/"Linux is not Windows" excuses for bad UX

Lobotomizing Gnome
I agree that there is a balance between customization and "cleanness" in design and implementation.
However, I think the GNOME 3 and 4 designers went too far and alienated many users:

https://www.osnews.com/story/133955/gnome-to-prevent-theming...
When a designer's "coherent vision" eclipses the needs of the software's users then users get frustrated and either fork the project or go to another project. MATE (https://mate-desktop.org/), Cinnamon (https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon), and Unity (https://unityd.org/) exist largely because of how far the GNOME 3 designers went and how they were not willing to compromise their "coherent vision":

Memory Leak in Cinnamon? (LMDE5 with default Cinnamon)
I'm not sure what the devs want to see in a case like this, but I'd try to report it either on the LinuxMint-Forums or on the cinnamon issue tracker on github.

Fedora Cinammon and KDE, are they Wayland and secure boot on as Gnome?
And I read Cinnamon being not yet out with a Wayland session as meaning that it’s in the works, but according to the Cinnamon team, “We still don't have any specific plans for implementing Wayland support…and we're not in a hurry to do so” (https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/10787)
-
Wayland transition attempt, 2023 edition
Mind you, it's much easier to crash a Wayland compositor than an X11 window manager because so much more has to be done in the compositor process; Cinnamon devs mentioned this flaw as a major reason they won't support Wayland yet, because if a panel widget crashes, it will also crash the entire desktop.

F38 (Cinnamon): mouse cursor not stopping at right edge of screen on HDMI tv
I tried a few searches through open cinnamon issues but nothing really stood out yet OTOH, I know some of the recent changes to Nemo/Cinnamon had caused issues which I've run into myself in F37 (such as the new themes, some Nemo drag-and-drop issues, and another issue with Nemo's input focus when clicking the toolbar button to a new folder while you are renaming a file) so still plausible this could be a Cinnamon-specific bug.
