Also, it might be worth noting that Strawberry does support SPC AND VGM files since 2022.

Makes sense. Thanks!
Not trying to blame you or anything, just stating the facts. It does sound like you don’t want to hear the other side though, and are completely convinced that these issues you’re having are normal to the average Linux system.
Installing a recent version of a normal Linux distribution (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint) will come by default with the following: Pipewire server (most likely wireplumber), Wayland, network drivers (except Debian) for most adapters, stable graphics drivers (unless you’re an NVIDIA victim), a DE of your choice (KDE, GNOME, Cosmic, etc). This setup will not have any audio cracking or popping, no flickering at certain resolutions, working USB ports. However, if you’re the type who refuses to update from the unmaintainable Xorg, old pulseaudio/alsa drivers, uses some obscure distribution, uses an NVIDIA GPU, or uses hardware from 2 decades ago, then you’ll have a horrible experience and it will only get worse with time, not better (unless you have an NVIDIA GPU, which will get not-garbage drivers eventually).
Can you name the format you’re using to store 1:54:48 of music in 4.72 MB?
You get your music from GIMP?
You are saving your music in a format more efficient than opus or aac? What format is that?
What’s the “plenty of stuff that doesn’t work”? And what audio/video issues are you having? Pipewire is miles better than anything Windows can conjure up in latency, quality, and customization. Video is literally just rendering pixels, which works with web browsers, and local video players (mpv and vlc). The only valid complaint is [Windows] software availability.
Where do you even get an audio file with a .xcf format?
You have support for .wav .flac .mp3 .opus, why would you use anything else?
Not saying this is the right thing to do. But it does seem like social media consistently suppresses the spread of “hacked” (whatever their definition of hacked might be) material related to political candidates, regardless of party. The same thing happened with the Hunter Biden laptop stuff, which was pretty much impossible to spread on social media. Although Elon Musk is obviously all in on trying to help Donald Trump win, the decision to suppress this information is not surprising. Meta is also suppressing the links.

The Element X is supposed to be the best client, but I can’t find a way to join rooms within a chat. So for now I use Fluffy to join rooms, then back to Element X for actual usage. Kind of bothersome but I’m sure they’ll figure it out since the original Element app has the ability to join rooms.
Wine (which Proton is based on) has had support for Wayland since version 9.0 (about half a year old). Admittedly it’s not even enabled by default, but it works and I’ve played Path Of Exile through wine’s Wayland backend. There’s talks to ship the Wayland driver along X11, but not enabled by default yet, since there’s still some issues before they consider it on par with X11 backend. Proton might take longer, since I don’t think Valve will enable that before they add Wayland support for the Steam client.
Yeah it is interesting how they don’t advertise it. Who knows what else they have lol
