Microsoft Edge ignores user wishes, slurps tabs from Chrome without permission
I hear you, but they've all moved along in leaps and bounds. Some options if you ever look again -
* ElementaryOS(https://elementary.io/)
- Do you think Pop!_OS should be re-named to "Cosmic" when the new DE comes out?

Package management
I would suggest installing elementaryOS inside a VM, and follow their getting started guide

I'm so over windows. Need Linux advice.
Try elementaryOS. https://elementary.io/. It has a good ui on top of Linux. If your needs are more server based try Debian. Or if you want a Decent ui use Ubuntu. Personally I find Ubuntu’s snaps annoying but ymmv.

Is Steam OS good for a daily OS?
Gaming mode's universal overlay is a pretty neat innovation that justifies the Deck going full Wayland, but even on my Deck, I'm actively looking into getting Pantheon, Budgie or MATE running in a rootful Xwayland so I don't have to use Plasma give up the ...-managed settings (display refresh rate, TDP cap, etc.) while working from a full desktop environment.

Damn Small Linux 2024
I was looking for a lightweight OS to run on old Asus Eee PC 1005 HA, which uses a 32-bit Intel Atom N270 processor. I installed Void Linux (https://voidlinux.org/).
I may give DSL 2024 a try and see how it compares.

How do I update one of these premade ESP32 boards?
My computer is running Void Linux and it has only a wired network connection. I can hook up my phone for USB tethering if I need to connect to the WiFi of the ESP32. How do I update the software without downloading some shady programs from filesharing site links on my system? I have the Arduino IDE and the esptool.py script installed.

Hyphens, minus, and dashes in Debian man pages
Classic "everyone is using the software wrong, but it's the fault of everyone, and not the software".
Some distros like Void seem to patch this out.[1]
From mandoc/mdocml's mandoc_char(7) [2]
In roff(7) documents, the minus sign is normally written as ‘\-’. In manual pages, some style guides recommend to also use ‘\-’ if an ASCII 0x2d “hyphen-minus” output glyph that can be copied and pasted is desired in output modes supporting it, for example in -T utf8 and -T html. But currently, no practically relevant manual page formatter requires that subtlety, so in manual pages, it is sufficient to write plain ‘-’ to represent hyphen, minus, and hyphen-minus.
Which is the common-sense thing to do.
Meanwhile, GNU projects become increasingly less relevant due to obnoxiousness like this.
In general the amount of wankery of "the correct hyphen" is staggering.

OpenSSL 1.1.1 End of Life
> but a year or 2 ago the went back to OpenSSL for some reason which I did not fully understand.
That would be Void Linux [1]. One of the reasons iirc, is PEP 644 [2], in which CPython drops support for LibreSSL due to it not being fully compatible with OpenSSL 1.1.1 APIs.

Installing Debian bookworm without systemd
> I would love if a major distro emerges
Good news for you! You have slackware [0], void [1] and alpine [3], which are widely-used non-systemd distributions with sane scripts. They are well-maintained rolling releases which allow you to use much newer versions of the kernel and packages than your typical ubuntu/debian installs. I don't particularly care about systemd, but these distros are great by themselves!

WEBKIT_DISABLE_SANDBOX_THIS_IS_DANGEROUS: Any alternatives?
I'm not a Void Linux user, let alone a maintainer of their packages but it may suffice to simple bump the version at https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/webkit2gtk/template.
I opened a PR on void-packages.
On the void-packages repo it is stated to not open issues for package updates but to make a PR instead.
What are some alternatives?
ungoogled-chromium - Google Chromium, sans integration with Google
AppImageLauncher - Helper application for Linux distributions serving as a kind of "entry point" for running and integrating AppImages
gentoo - Official Gentoo ebuild repository
nix - Nix, the purely functional package manager
sway - i3-compatible Wayland compositor
xdeb - XDEB - Convert deb (Debian) packages to xbps (Void Linux)
linux-surface - Linux Kernel for Surface Devices
picom - A lightweight compositor for X11
dwm - LEV Linux's window manager (a fork of dwm)
wine-tkg-git - The wine-tkg build systems, to create custom Wine and Proton builds
neovim - Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability
bspwm - A tiling window manager based on binary space partitioning
