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?
- Home backup solution?
- My deduplication solution written in Rust beats everything else: casync, borg...

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

Offsite data backups at a friend's house - do I just need rsync or is there something superior?
Borg Backup and rsync afterwards. Borg has a quite good deduplication (which u wasn't aware of) which reduces my backup size by factor 2. Since the dedup works across different backup times, you can easily backup and sync multiple month without a huge space increase.

Python Port of 600 Line Bash Script: rsync-time-machine.py for Rsync Backups
Actually, for raw speed, rsync is much faster than any of the tools you mentioned (see e.g., https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/4190). I really like a lightweight solution, where I do not even need any tool to restore backups. The tools you mentioned are great though.

KBackup vs rsync?
For backups I use Borg myself. If you need a GUI, you can use Vorta or Pika. With borgmatic, there is also a wrapper that extends the range of functions of Borg.
