From what I understand in the article the prototype TCL panel being demonstrated is actually 4k@1000hz. They mention a few competitors with multiple modes right after which could be where the confusion comes from.

iirc mandatory Client Side Decorations is only a Gnome on Wayland thing and everyone else has support for both Client and Server Side Decorations.
Hyprland itself will still continue to work just fine. What it does affect is Hyprland’s ability to propose changes to FreeDesktop specifications like Wayland. Although I think only the lead dev Vaxry has been banned so potentially they could just get some other dev to do that instead.
I’ve been messing about with NixOS for the past 2 weeks or so. While I think I know enough to plug in the right text in the right spots to get a system configured I feel like I understand nothing about the nix language and the syntax is extremely unintuitive to me. If another distro offered declarative configuration as well as something like Nix’s options I would easily swap away from NixOS at this point.
Minisforum just announced their V3 which is a Windows tablet with amazing looking specs. I would wait until people confirm if everything works on Linux, but it’s an option to consider.
I can’t use Wayland until this xwayland Nvidia bug is fixed, which is a shame because I think that’s the last thing holding Nvidia users back. I tried the new Plasma 6 recently and for the most part it was great until I tried gaming and hit that bug. I tried different older and newer beta driver versions but it was more or less the same bug.
The proprietary Nvidia driver has kernel modules that are specific to a single version of the Linux kernel. With pre-built packages that’s typically whatever the standard kernel is for your distro. If that kernel isn’t booted then you’ll have no graphics driver.
This is solved by DKMS, which will build those kernel modules for every kernel you have installed. You’ll need the kernel headers for the kernel you want to build for, as well as the nvidia-kernel-dkms
package which the wiki you linked only offhandedly mentions. Whenever the kernel or driver updates it should build the required modules.
If your monitor is like mine (Samsung Odyssey G9 original), you have to disable freesync monitor side to have the aspect ratio correct on non 32:9 resolutions on the displayport inputs.
I think they were saying that they could save space by converting their existing jpg files to avif or jpgXL, not converting to a 70% quality jpg. JpgXL can do this losslessly so there’s no drawback there, but converting to avif would be a lossy to lossy transcode.
EDIT: I completely missed OP’s last paragraph, which does say they are considering converting their existing jpg files into 70% jpgs.
You can actually get Vulkan on GCN 1 and 2 cards through the AMDGPU driver set. It's just not enabled by default because support is in beta status limbo. YMMV though because a reason I remember upgrading from an R9 280 (HD 7950 refresh) was to get better driver support.

Out of all the email clients I’ve tried, Thunderbird has been the only one that seems to fetch email the instant it comes in, as well as just being all around well featured. I haven’t tried Betterbird but from the name I assume it’s a fork of Thunderbird so it’s probably good as well.
Can you link the original quote? I feel like there is a lot of context missing here.
