Don't really know about the US, sorry. eBay might be a good place though.
Any second-hand business class laptop, i.e. HP Elitebook/Probook/Zbook, Dell Inspiron/Latitude/XPS, or Lenovo Thinkpad.
Businesses tend to get rid of them after 4 years, even if they're still in good condition. Great bang for your buck and easily repairable if something does end up breaking.
Windows: "I gotchu, fam."
Jerboa, because it just works and doesn’t overcomplicate things.
Does it work well?

AFAIK you don't have to use it as a router. If you configure all the interfaces to LAN it should just act as a switch/AP combo.
I think OP is referring to NAT hairpinning though.
Take a look at Mycroft
You definitely shouldn’t need to do that, one account is enough.
Maybe you’re confused because communities can be on different instances (servers). But you don’t need to make an account on those instances, because all the instances are federated together. That means you can just have your account on one instance and follow and participate in all your communities from there.
Between 6-10 hours of what?
edit: oh, you mean the xkcd, LOL. Well let me know if it works out for you haha
Some BIOSes have trouble booting anything other than Windows, so some distros default to clobbering the Windows Boot Manager and trying to manage everything from GRUB. It sounds to me like this is what happened to you except it somehow got borked.
If the Windows install is still present on your drive it should be possible to restore the Windows Boot Manager. Then you won’t be able to boot Linux but you’ll at least be able to get into Windows.
Try booting off Windows install media and running Startup Repair using the following instructions: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/performance/windows-boot-issues-troubleshooting#method-1-startup-repair-tool
If that doesn’t work try one of these solutions:

Good luck!

IIRC all plugins you can get via the offical plugin directory are GPL-3
They could already have access to your emails, because… you’re running their OS. They can slip in any code they want and run it with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
-level privileges (comparable to root
-level privileges on Linux systems).
If you run any other OS you’ll also have to trivially trust the makers of that OS with root
-level privileges (or comparable).
(Personally I don’t believe that MS is scanning all your local emails, but they certainly have the technical possibilities to do so very trivially.)

You'll have to install Linux yourself, but generally support for older hardware is OK.
IMPORTANT: make sure the BIOS isn't locked before buying.
