If you want your environment to be consistent between desktops, keep it mostly stock. The default KDE themeing and setup is pretty damn similar to Windows 10, and I’ve kept it stock ever since I started using it ~1 ½ years ago.

It is not an abuse of anyone’s creative rights to the convert music from a game you legally own to a different format.
I think Obsidian and Logseq are helping to change this.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been running alternative Discord clients for years (Webcord, discord-screenaudio, and now Vesktop/Vencord) and haven’t encountered any issues or bans. By far, the most polished and well integrated is Vesktop/Vencord. I don’t consider my Discord account worth risking either, but given that I’ve yet to see a verifiable report of someone losing access to Discord for using an alternate client (even the ones that enable Nitro subscription features), I think I’m pretty safe.
Personally, I’d say risk it for the biscuit. There are some hacky workarounds but all of them are annoying to set up and finicky. As for alternative platforms, I’m not sure…
I’ve heard (but not been able to verify) that it’s less secure, somehow. Although I would imagine the containerization would, somehow, mitigate this.
I’ve been trying Bazzite out for a few days, and it’s really neat. Coming from a standard distro, I like the idea that I can install pretty much anything with the combo of Flatpak, AppImages, and Distrobox. I was unable to install DaVinci Resolve on the Fedora Distrobox however, and the lack of Snaps - although I much prefer Flatpaks or AppImages - kinda sucks because it would be nice to have the Snap for Flutter…
