macOS 13.5 no longer allows setting system wide ulimits
A large number of extremely talented engineers might beg to differ. Everything you listed as an issue has a solution. Like any operating system, you have to spend the time to learn the intricacies of how it works and to customize it to your liking. For me, must haves are Alfred to replace spotlight, my dotfiles which change a ton of defaults in various apps like finder, the dock, etc, setup key repeat, iterm2 colors and profile, etc. divvy and magnet for window management. Caffeine to prevent sleep. Stats open source menu monitors to replace istatmenus
I’m sure there are newer equivalents to what I’ve listed. I’ve been using those programs for years.
Some jumping off points

Just got MBP M1 Pro. Any tips for me?
I guess the awesome Mac list is a solid place to start generally speaking, since there are a lot of apps of all kinds of use cases in there. Personally, I especially love - Raycast (replacement for spotlight, check out Alfred as well) - Bartender (to tidy up the menu bar) - AltTab (gives you a Windows like app switcher) - Rectangle (windows like window management) - purepaste (let’s you paste text without formatting)

Must Have Apps, Free or Paid -
I often refer to the comprehensive Awesome Mac list for this because you can drill down to specific sections such as Finder Tools for example. It's very handy.

https://mpv.io/ has yt-dlp support, if yt-dlp is installed you just need to throw the URL at it and it plays the video (without download).

Ripgrep is faster than {grep, ag, Git grep, ucg, pt, sift}
Author of ripgrep here.
Like automatic encoding detection and transparently searching UTF-16?
Or simple ways for composing character classes, e.g., `[\pL&&\p{Greek}]` for all codepoints in the Greek script that are letters. Another favorite of mine is `\P{ascii}`, which will search for any codepoint that isn't in the ASCII subset.
Or more sophisticated filtering features that let you automatically respect things like gitignore rules.
Those are all things that ripgrep does that grep does not. So I do not favor this explanation personally.
ripgrep has just about all of the functionality that GNU grep does. I would say the two biggest missing pieces at this point are:
* POSIX locale support. (But this might be a feature[1].)
* Support for "basic" regexes or some equivalent that flips the escaping rules around. i.e., You need to write `\+` to match 1 or more things, where as `+` will just match `+ literally.
Otherwise, ripgrep has unfortunately grown just about as many flags as GNU grep.

PCSX2 Disables Wayland Support
As noted by other commenters, there are several compositors available for Wayland (essentially the bit that actually implements Wayland) -- some are developed independently of any particular DE wlroots, labwc, hikari, etc, and some are part of a larger project like mutter and kwin (GNOME and KDE, respectively).
GNOME's implementation in particular has historically caused a lot of drama relative to some of the others. MPV used to have a pretty spicy wiki section dedicated to GNOME (it still kind of exists, though has been toned down a fair bit and addresses NVidia and some other specific issues more directly [1]):

Google Chrome just rolled out a new way to track you and serve ads
One example is a script to quickly grab the URL of the current tab and send it to mpv¹ for playing or yt-dlp² for downloading. Or send some JavaScript to that same tab. Or grab the URLs and titles of all tabs in all windows that match a specific domain, close them, and then reopen in a brand new window. Alfred³ has a ton of automations that allow you to do that without having to code it yourself.
