"Killing humanely" is just about minimising abuse, not nullifying it. Who decides when the abuse is small enough to be called humane? The slaughterhouses marketing their slaughtering as humane.
There seems to be a few options for that. Bazarr has some synchronisation built in, but with varying degrees of success. Here's another tool that feels more promising:

The idea with bazarr is that, if the subtitle exists, you would already have it when you play the media on your TV. Not sure how you manually searching for the subtitle on the TV in plex would improve upon that. Bazarr has no trouble automatically finding subtitles in multiple languages at once.
At the end of the day, bazarr works just fine with Plex, why don't you try it and see if it's good enough to not need to manually find subs on your TV?
For someone who just wants a sane editor, I don't need not care for seeing up my own config or keeping up to date with neovim plugins. Like you mention vim.pack, but why should I add a user need to keep up with which plugins has the latest congenital features?
The advantage of a distro is that somebody else sets up sane defaults, keeps plugins up to date and uses the latest cool plugins. All without me needing to spend any time reading documentation and trying to set up a new plugin. And it still allows me full customization, where it's easy to add or disable plugins.
Essentially all a distro does is move the starting point from a very basic text editor to a fairly advanced text editor. So to me it feels like a no brainier to use as my base, because somebody with 10x my experience with vim will be better at designing a work flow with vim than I will.
Many people talking about using subdomains, but that's only really a thing if you actually have a domain. Just last year the domain .internal was reserved for internal use, so that's what I've set up all my domains to use. E.g. https://pihole.internal/, https://proxmox.internal/.
To make this work I use pihole's local dns records to rewrite any *.internal domain to point to my reverse proxy Caddy's ip.
As for the certificates, I created my own CA, which I install on all my and my family's devices. Then, for each new url I set up, I create a new certificate and sign it with my CA certificate, then have my reverse proxy serve it.
This all sounds like a lot of work, and it is, but using OPNsense for both reverse proxy and certificates makes it well integrated and certificates are trivial to renew. With that said, if you have your own domain, go the let's encrypt subdomain route instead imo. It saves you a lot of manual labor with setting up your CA on every device you own and creating new certificates for each site.
I usually explain it like email, most people get it then. Doesn't matter if you're using @outlook.com or @gmail.com when sending an email, you can talk to users on either as long as you specify the server address (which is mandatory in email anyway).
I've been using Matrix/Element for about a year now. I think it's been great and have no plans on using anything else, I've even started donating to the matrix foundation. I self-host a server and using bridge bots I've aggregated all my chat services into Matrix, so I talk to my friends on signal using the Element app.
A few notes:
Nobody I've ever met has heard of matrix. I've had to very manually convince close friends and family to get the app and help them sign up.
The restore process is complex as recovery keys are stored on device and most people don't understand the concept of downloading and saving them in a secure place. So if they lose their phone, chances are they can't recover their messages, only their account. (as long as they sign in with two devices and don't forget their password, it's not an issue)
Also regarding the restore process. There are two apps, Element and Element X, with X being the newer and more modern one. It's still WIP though and doesn't have most recovery functionality.
Calls and video calls work differently in the apps, so unless you all have the newer app or all have the older app, you can't make calls to each other.
It's been a complete mish mash of greatness and tragedies. Not a week goes by without me having a bit of both. Only time I've had to boot back into windows was for a bios update that I couldn't get to work through Linux, but I've also had to make a few sacrifices and accept that I can't have everything good in life on Linux. But the opposite is also true, you can't have everything good on Windows, so I'm content for now.
Fingers crossed, that's what I'm hoping for as well. I'm using a valve index so I really expected Steam VR to work out of the box, but hopefully the new headset will work at least.
Hyprland, and it's been a few months since I last tried so I can't remember fully, but I believe I found settings to activate it for the monitor but then it simply... didn't. It simply stayed as SDR.
I've followed their guides and I still haven't managed to get it up and running with steamvr or monado. The one time I got picture in the headset I was in the floor and I haven't managed to get picture again since.
I haven't managed to get HDR monitors nor my VR headset to work, and I've already spent way more time debugging it in Linux than I ever had to in Windows.

Hope it went well!
Each number between the dots is made up of 8 bits, so each one is a maximum of 255.

Nowhere near how? I don't think I've ever seen an ad with Firefox + ublock in several years of use. How can brave be better?

Yup Coalescense and Conflux. I only played Wvw for the ring, but it's a fun enough game mode that I didn't mind.
This is also what I've been running and it works flawlessly. Incredibly impressive.
Already got 2 rings so this is gonna be a pass for me. Nice to have more options though.

Yea it seems the solution to my issue may be too distro hop, but that in of itself already sucks, because then what am I losing in the new distro
