Have you tried Waterfox? It satisfies most of your requirements, I believe.

It works on one laptop but not the other. I may have an issue with some settings.
99% of my usage of Lemmy is via the mobile client, Sync in my case. It does not show the sidebar info or at least you have to actively look for it. Like I had no idea you also hosted pixelfed instance.
I didn't realize you also hosted Mastodon. I've just recently switched from mastodon.social to mstdn.plus and when I was looking for the new server I think I searched for "discuss" but didn't find anything. Now I know why.
I think, therefore, that toot.discuss.online may be better for name recognition. Unless, of course, you decide to just stop hosting Mastodon all together.
Been using FF on almy devices for over a year now. Best.Browser.Ever.
Don't know if that's an option for you, but I but laptop parts on Amazon..
If you want to use desktop shortcuts, you're better off using KDE Plasma, Cinnamon, Budgie, or XFCE as your desktop environment. Good thing in Linux is that you can install several DEs alongside each other.
Same! My 80+ year old dad has been using Mint for years now. All he needs is a browser to check his bank account, read news, go on Facebook. Mint just works!
Also, I must add this: PopOS! Is a good product for sure, but it's based on Ubuntu LTS which itself is based on Debian. It's a release-based disto. All that means extra time to wait for updated software. While it has a bit more polish, it lacks the latest features. EndeavourOS is based on Arch which is a base rolling distribution. The main and pretty much the only thing that differentiates it from Arch is the graphical installer that makes setting it up an absolute joy. It's much more light weight than Ubuntu or it's Derivatives and, being a rolling distribution has the absolute latest releases of software. I'd suggest going with KDE plasma for a DE. While I don't have an Nvidia graphics, I do know that Arch and, by inheritance, EndeavourOS fully support it.
The notion of an "agreement" with Putler is laughable! The only agreement he's capable of not breaking is one he makes at the Hague to spare his life in exchange for peacefully dying in a cell somewhere.
