An app to count down till certain day
Maybe put something like echo $(($(date -d 24-Dec +%j) - $(date +%j))) days into your bashrc. Conky should be able to display it nicely on the desktop.

Why there is no good task manager and system monitoring software on linux?
And https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky is great for desktop HUDs. Very customisable.

Give Wayland a shot, don't base your opinion off of 2013 articles!
Funny meme btw. Personally, I use xorg with 3 displays. Fortunately, the resolution is same on all screens (full HD). I use Komorebi for live wallpapers and conky for sidebar. It works flawlessly.

What Linux Distro Should I Use For Terrible Laptops?
My experience has been that Ubuntu's Gnome DE is somewhat less suitable to older computers than Ubuntu "official flavors" with lighter DE's -- Ubuntu Budgie (Budgie DE), Kubuntu (KDE Plasma DE), Ubuntu MATE (MATE DE), and Xubuntu (XFCE DE) -- all of which use somewhat less resources than the Gnome DE.

YSK: Windows 11 sends telemetry data straight to third parties on install.
If you were a fan of Windows 7 - install Ubuntu Budgie. I have been running it since Windows 7 and it is rock solid.

Linux distro
I recommend two official Ubuntu flavors to friends contemplating migrating from Windows 10 to Linux -- Ubuntu Budgie (Budgie DE) and Kubuntu (KDE Plasma DE).

I might want to switch to linux on my low end laptop and have a few questions
In terms of distros that will help facilitate the migration from Windows, I would suggest either Ubuntu Budgie or Kubuntu.

switching from windows, need recommendations
Take a look at Ubuntu Budgie 22.04 LTS and Kubuntu 22.04 LTS, two official flavors of Ubuntu that give you the stability of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and a good looking, very functional desktop environment. I have used both extensively and can vouch for them. My use case is similar to yours -- lots of internet/browser work, occasional word processing, spreadsheet and file work.

Change from Windows
Consider looking at several of the Ubuntu official flavors -- Kubuntu (Plasma DE), Ubuntu Budgie (Budgie DE), Xubuntu (XFCE), Ubuntu MATE (MATE DE). I wouldn't bother with Lubuntu (LXQT DE) unless you need a lightweight distro, because the LXQT DE is not as mainstream or well-supported as the others.
