This is about VPN proxies, not VPN technology itself.
Note that this isn't about immutability but atomicity. Current immutable usually have that feature aswell but you don't need immutability to achieve it.

You might want to inform yourself whether tree NFTs actually achieve anything useful in the real world.
The former is trivial for almost any CPU (and your GPU is probably massive overkill) but web dev should require quite a lot of resources actually. If you're fine with the speed I guess that works too though (I mean, JS is never going to be particularly fast is it..).
It highly depends on what it is you're doing. If all you do is play graphically intensive single player games at high settings, a 2600k can still be more than fast enough (especially when OC'd).
As always with hardware upgrades, you need to find current issues, measure what causes them and upgrade that component. If there are no issues you're aware of, there's no need to upgrade IMHO.
How high are FPS and GPU usage in your favourite games? If they're rather low and GPU usage is <90%, you're CPU bottlenecked and would likely see an increase in FPS.
GPU usage roughly indicates the headroom; if you're already close to 100% there likely is little point in upgrading because you'd be GPU-bottlenecked immediately after but if it's, say, 50% you'd likely see a great increase in FPS. Then you'll obviously have to ask yourself whether that increase is worth it. If you're at >100fps already, the answer would probably be "no" for instance.
Another factor to consider is power usage but I doubt a current-gen CPU would draw appreciably less power than a 2600K. I mean, it's OC'd, so you're probably in the neighbourhood of 120-150W I'd imagine but that's not unheard of nowadays either and your GPU is likely a much larger factor.
That looks absolutely fine.
If you enter vulkaninfo into a teriminal, which driver does it use? You want RADV; 23.something or later. If it says AMDVLK, you want to uninstall that.
Which kernel are you using? You probably want the latest kernel (6.5) right now.
You mean, like, there's some more setup you need to do in order to build some actual resistance against evil maids; making secure boot a small part of a greater link?
Also, I still wouldn't count such a setup as "half-way resistant against evil maids" as, in a setup like you describe, it's almost trivial for an evil maid to go into firmware to disable secure boot and install their own bootloader instead of yours.
Note that Dark Reader is insanely resource intensive.
(Also note that Disconnect has been unmaintained since before the pandemic and is redundant because UO exists.)
Secure boot + encryption willy happily boot the maid's initrd.
Have you tried mlterm?
