I don't know the difference between a terminal and a terminal emulator, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.
Lately using Foot since that's what my distro shipped with.

The only other things that stick out to me are distro philosophy and release schedule. Like, do you want a completely community oriented distro, a corporate one, one with LTS-style releases, or rolling releases? These things may or may not make a difference.

The best way imo is to install Ventoy to a USB drive, then load it up with ISOs from distros you are interested in. Then you can boot into their live sessions and test drive them. But ultimately, you can almost always get Linux software running on any distro. The differences are whether a distro comes with something out of the box, or if it even has your desired apps in its official repos.

btop, Steam, Discord, Firefox. These are all available on all distros. Things like the file system browser - I don't care as much and just use what the distro provides by default.
-
Run a package update then install whatever other apps you want. For me, also set up auto mount of a couple network drives provided by my NAS.

You should not be concerned about this unless you are building things from source.

Probably... I used and gamed on Kubuntu for 2 years and had an excellent experience.
How tf do you have one of the most successful commercial game engines and still can't support your own staff?
When choosing your first distro it's probably best to go with one that is very popular - Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Mint, etc. Niche distros are a surefire path to immediate troubleshooting.
From there, decide what desktop environment you want. Most distros offer releases with various environments (KDE, Gnome).
There are differences with package managers... who cares, you either run this command or that one to update.
I second using a Live USB to run any distro release first so you can test drive it. If you use Ventoy on your USB drive you can put multiple distro ISOs on it instead of having to flash only one at a time.
Once you start, you can't stop... Hence why I got a bidet.
You still wipe, just once or twice instead of 14 or 15 times.

This is an impossible question, how dare you. But I'm not gonna let you guys get away with not mentioning the Riff Beast himself, Kirk Windstein.
Crowbar - It Pours From Me usually comes to mind first.
Also, KoRn - Clown to this day has one of the most disgusting guitar tones I've ever heard.
I have no knowledge about or experience with immutable distros, but I've been maining the Fedora KDE spin on my laptop for several major releases now and so far have found no reason to switch away from it. The Plasma Wayland session has been solid from the beginning and everything has just worked.
