Which terminal font is that, by the way?
Arch does too, albeit to a lesser extent. Gnome updates usually take around 4 to 5 weeks after the official release to hit the Pacman repos.
Means you can stay bleeding edge but avoid day 1 breakages for the most part.
Hitchens wasn't really ever an actual Neo-Con; it's just that his stance on the second Iraq war made him look like one from some angles.
He always did have a bee in his bonnet about despotism and dictatorships (which, incidentally, is why I personally think that he spent so much of his later years debating against organized religion), and this is what lead him to support the toppling of Saddam Hussein, who was by all accounts a brutal and sadistic dictator.
In that, his interests aligned with the Bush Jr. administration, but he was never fully on board with their American exceptionalism and disdain for international institutions, as far as I could see.
It's incredibly ironic that crypto in general was supposed to liberate the masses from the plutocrats and the banks, and yet the people who run the industry have managed to take the power inequality that already existed and crank it up all the way to 11.
"The West" is a very nebulous and hard-to-define concept at best, and so the term "Westerner" can be equally hard to pin down to one single definition.
In my experience, though, it generally refers to cultural background rather than ethnicity. If a person grows up in a "Western" country to the extent that their mindset and outlook is aligned with that country's cultural values and way of life, then they are a Westerner, regardless of their ancestry.
Gaming these days is generally excellent thanks to Proton. Certain titles do still have issues, but it's on a case by case basis.
Audio latency is a good point - I don't know how that fares under a VM these days. Pipewire has brought many improvements over Pulse, so it's possible that the situation has also gotten better.
If you're hanging onto Windows for just one app, you could try running it in a virtual machine. I do that for a few work-related apps that have no Linux/web versions and it works great.
You could also dual boot, if VM performance doesn't quite cut it.
The IzzyOnDroid repo, most likely.
If you're using the stock F-Droid store app, you have to manually add it. If you're on one of the newer clients, like Neo Store, it's enabled out-of-the-box.
Next on the list of pointlessly reductive comparisons: let's judge which is the best desktop environment solely on which has the superior clock app.
The devs laid out their reasoning here:

Essentially, they want a non-opinionated rolling release and to stick with apt as a base package manager, which means that Sid is the obvious solution.
I picked up Civ 6 for $5, which ain't bad.
Nice, that's a new one on me. That lower case
kis pretty unusual.
