export PATH=$PATH:/mypath1:/mypath2 in ~/.profile. Means "add :/mypath1:/mypath2 to what is already in $PATH." If you need the entire system to be aware, set or update it in /etc/environment with PATH=...

Absolutely. The only difference is that the benefits aren't imaginary, they are quite tangible.

Btw plastic bottles are also bad for you. BPA was the worst endocrine suppressor of them all but, make no mistake, all plastics are endocrine suppressors. BPA just wound up being the scapegoat. Microplastics in our blood aside, whatever you put into plastic will end up being a vehicle for toxins. While eating/drinking from plastic is really bad, one doesn't usually appreciate the surface area of our skin.

Plastic is only safe for surfaces that we rarely interact with.

As opposed to the human-made brain melting videos?

RAM could be a cheaper culprit. Try re-seating it.

Do not use Manjaro. It is a known trap. What you can do is install pamac, which is what Manjaro uses for GUI package management. It's been a hot minute since I've used Arch, so here's a tutorial:

Alternatively you could look at Garuda, which is a solid Arch distro. You'll either love or hate the theme, but that's easy to change. It also comes with an interactive kernel by default (most distros use a regular kernel build, which works better for servers).

Whatever you do, please please please not Ubuntu. It's the lowest common denominator. Emphasis on "lowest". It was good in the past, but Canonical have really lost the plot.

And once again, I am seriously questioning Apple's privacy claims. Why else would Apple build such a moat around Safari?

For your use case, consider it to be a packaging format (like AppImage, Flatpak, Deb, RPM, etc.) that includes all the dependencies (including services, not just libraries) for the app in question.

Should I change this?

If it's not broken don't fix it.

Use Podman (my preferred - the SystemD approach is awesome), containerd, or Incus. Docker is a graveyard of half-finished pet projects that have no reason for existing. Podman has a Docker-compatible socket, so 100% of Docker tooling will work with it.

I don't consider The Prestige to be one of his better works. I like to be left thinking. The Prestige has closure and explanations built in. It's like the age-old books vs. movies argument: people nearly always say the books are better because books offer the reader agency. It's not merely because they enjoy looking down their noses at us movie goer mortals - they enjoyed the books more because their preferred interpretation of the words were layered above the literal text.

I didn't suffer through Tenet, I was completely immersed - which almost never happens for me. I needed absolutely none of the muffled dialogue to figure out what was going on - and I didn't watch it in a cinema.

And if you hated it and suffered through it, that's fine too. I don't get why you have a problem with other people enjoying it.

I have read on more than one occasion that Wine is becoming the "Linux Gaming ABI." It's no longer just about Windows. With the huge variety presented by distros, Wine is simply a nice stable target that never moves.
