Mint has a more noob friendly approach with almost everything having a ui and it is Ubuntu under the hood so there wouldn’t be extra to learn after switching. Popularity wise mint is one of the best stable distros with Ubuntu as its base with community support as well so if you have doubts you can most probably find the answer just by searching

Not an extension something modification in the .Mozilla folder.
It did do it on old versions now it doesn’t.
There is starlite tab if you like . If you are going Surface , you would have to check the surface kernel.
Same here whatever the DE has I would use.
Though most common answers from others would be alacritty or kitty which I see the use but feels advanced in configuration.

git not installed in ubuntu based distro was the shock for me.
Well don’t know much about gnome since the first gnome I used was gnome 3.I never tried mate.
If I am correct mate doesn’t have many touch gestures so there is no effect for it. If you want gestures gnome or kde would be suited. I maybe wrong if so any seniors do correct me 😉
In the GitHub it is written that you should only use fusuma.
About that error, in windows, you have two users say administrator and user. Both the users have their own user folder,they can’t tamper with the others users folders right.
Similarly linux in default install has two users one the root and other the user. When you use sudo you are asking the root to open the file in its folder not in yours.
Its usually the distro which create it like in ubuntu its prime-select.
It is possible and for backup use timeshift
You could use pavucontrol,since discord mainly uses pulseaudio controls

Its fwupd which does the firmware updates , gnome software access it for updates . The cli version is fwupdmgr.
