Localsend: Open-Source Airdrop Alternative
I don't know. After discovering PairDrop too, thanks to comments here, I've been testing it out to see if it could replace Warpinator [1] as a means to send files & directories between my PC and my Android phone when I'm at home.
First impression has been quite disappointing... I installed the PWA to my phone's home screen. Then opened up and paired with my PC as trusted device. Tried to send a PDF file from PC to phone, a dialog shows up with
File Received. PC has sent: file.pdf. Close/Download.
Upon clicking Download, Firefox (which is configured in Android as the default web browser) opens up, on the Homepage tab. Nothing else happens, and the file isn't downloaded. So I'm left pretty much confused about what should have happened vs. what did actually happen.
Good thing about Warpinator (and something I use a lot) is that you can enable accepting files without confirmation, and then you can drag & drop a whole folder to have it appear on the other device as-is. Something extremely useful but that I doubt web apps can achieve.

How can I easily backup saves for non steam games?
You can then use Syncthing or Warpinator alongside it to sync them to other devices.

ShareIt alternative
[Warpinator](https://github.com/linuxmint/warpinator) will do this. I've used it in the past and I just double checked if it will send android to android, which it does. There are packages for Windows and in F-Droid. It is developed by the Linux Mint team, so seems like a trusty source. But, always double check if you are confident in the publisher.

LocalSend: cross-platform alternative to AirDrop and ShareDrop (not mine)
I use Warpinator. It is developed by Linux Mint but I have ports installed on Windows, Android and even iPad.

Duplicity
I used this many, many years ago but switched to Borg[0] about five years ago. Duplicity required full backups with incremental deltas, which meant my backups ended up using too much disk space. Borg lets you prune older backups at will, because of chunk tracking and deduplication there is no such thing as an incremental backup.

Kopia: Open-Source, Fast and Secure Open-Source Backup Software
Borg 2 has been in development for nearly a year and a half [1] and may probably be released early next year, i.e., early 2024 (just a guess, seeing that even RC1 is not yet released and seems to have a lot of work to be done).
Does anyone know how Borg 1.x and 2 would compare to Kopia?

Migrating to openSUSE.
Others have answered your questions well enough, but I'll take on 6. This doesn't seem to make sense to me. If you want to use rsync for backups you can just use a cron job for this. I've used rysnc for years for backups and it worked great and is still a good tool to know. But for backups I now use Borg which is much better as a backup utility and can be scripted. It's a deduplicating archive that can be encrypted which has big advantages over rsync. And there are even more backup programs that beat rsync for sure.

Arch noob
Establishing a backup strategy. I'm using BTRFS with snapper and a pacman hook that creates a new snapshot before each upgrade. With ext4 I used timeshift. Besides that, I save my arch configuration with aconfmgr and my files with borg
