Looking for a light distro with good privacy
Fedora; from its 'flagship' Workstation, to their glorious Spins and their Immutable Desktops

What are some of the more innovative linux distributions?
Fedora Silverblue - pretty well-known at this point, but it’s championing immutability

Been away from Linux for many years
An example of an installable immutable OS is Fedora Silverblue. Notably, you can change the "distro" flavor of Silverblue to try out KDE and then just flip back to Gnome. Each change is seen as an "update" that just moves you over to the new GUI. The article below explains a bit more.

I need something stable in my life...
I guess something like Fedora Silverblue might offer you something (to paraphrase) "stupid proof". For example, in this case the rpm-ostree rollback command would have been sufficient. Disclaimer: rpm-ostree builds images, therefore it's by necessity slower than apt. Futhermore, until this change is merged and deployed you'd have to reboot for the changes to apply. You might want to look into Distrobox as well, perhaps it can solve your problems without having to change your distro.

Nobara is letting me down lately.
However, I'll add one more that I'm especially fond of. It's one of the most 'stable'\1]) Linux desktop systems\2]) without sacrificing access to the latest kernel-updates and packages. It comes bundled with everything\3]) necessary for productivity right out of the box and is built on top of the fundamentals laid by Fedora's Immutable Desktops. Allow me to introduce uBlue; I know that I'll undersell it regardless, so I recommend you to check the provided link instead.

What you're looking for sounds like AppImages (https://appimage.org/) . I have only used them while downloading games from itch.io, etc. (since i prefer package managers) but they seem to work out of the box on popular distros.

Bitwarden Heist – How to Break into Password Vaults Without Using Passwords
Ideally a new instance of the application is installed for each user. This also provides better isolation if one user upgrades/removes/breaks their application instance. I, for one, have really come around to the AppImage model [0] in the last couple of years.

Ask HN: What's the best CLI installation experience you've ever seen?
There is AppImage[1], which packs a lot of stuff into a SquashFS filesystem, appends it to the executable, so everything is in one file.

How to minimize RAM usage during Go binary compilation
Although I haven't used plugins feature myself yet, this does sound like the perfect use case for them. Not every patient needs to access every single source. With plugins you can load only the source (or few sources) that they actually need. You can still use something like https://appimage.org/ to give them "a single binary", but will actually contain your slim binary and all the plugins.

I'm thinking of moving from windows to Linux. What should I expect?
appimages. Appimages are similar to flatpaks, exept that they are a file you download and double click to run. Think of them as portable softwares like windows has (portable apps). They are sandboxed too. You can learn more about appimages here
