But I’m not sure where to look. It seems like jobs focusing on free/libre software are difficult to find
This hashtag can be used to search : https://mastodon.social/tags/FediHire And the videos of Andreas Kling could inspire you ? Andreas came out of rehab, gave up his job to work on his open source hobby OS and web browser based on donations : https://piped.video/channel/UC3ts8coMP645hZw9JSD3pqQ
In the Lemmyverse for self-hosting Immich looks very popular (despite their warning : The project is under very active development. Expect bugs and changes. Do not use it as the only way to store your photos and videos!)
The old skool Piwigo might do for you ? https://piwigo.org/
I guarantee, most new users coming to Linux from Windows/macOS are going to laugh and look at you funny if you try to justify entering your password again and again and again.
That makes me think that I always thought that security was a joke included with Microsoft products. Already from the MS-DOS days onward. And I guess the other commenter is right : Microsoft does not want to annoy their users.
You should be able to use nmtui tool in the text terminal to activate your network connection. From the terminal you can also use the startx command to try and see if that would show you a GUI or other useful errors.
Also post ifconfig -a or ip addr show.
ifconfig is deprecated for a long time I think. Not even sure if some Debian package still provides it. I've switched to ip a and ip r and cat /etc/resolv.conf to look at such issues as OP has.
In such cases on Debian, as root, I try my "lazy" approach
apt install vlc mplayer vorbis-tools ffmpeg mpv
which may pull in the needed codecs to play mp3, ogg and flac files. Does playing a video in your browser work btw ?
Why do you not switch from Xubuntu to Linux Mint ? Mint is a derivate of Ubuntu but without Snap.

v1.0.3 Latest Fixes
Fixed an issue that led to opening a new Desktop App window when users clicked on the Update button of the Calendar Drawer in Mail. Uninstalling the application on Windows removes user data from the application data folders. The application is placed to a correct application category on Linux. No need to refresh the other application (Mail or Calendar) to apply changes when switching themes.
Back in the day Linux could run from a DOS partition. I think this is no longer a maintained project, but for ~~fun~~ historic reasons : https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/UMSDOS-HOWTO
Waterfox has had some bad press. I don't remember details but here's something to read :
I prefer to stick to the no nonsense LibreWolf and when some things don't work fall back to Firefox :

Do have the
startxcommand installed ? You can use that from the command line without DisplayManager (Switch to a virtual console with e.g. ctrl-alt-F2). And with XFCE4 you can use the commandstartxfce4to start from the command line without DisplayManager. This could help troubleshoot.
