Photoshop has unmatched tools to get work done 15 to 30 times faster than Gimp. This does not apply to everything of course and in some niche stuff Gimp's even faster. However what I use Photoshop for, such as removing unwanted distractions like trash cans, trash, overhead electric cables and such Gimp is like 30 years behind. It's not realistic that someone would spend many minutes just selecting hair outline in Gimp.
Ultimately developing these tools has cost evil Adobe many millions of dollars. 1-3 extremely talented and enthusiastic programmers cannot compete with this.
Then again in the near future we will either not need Photoshop anymore, or open source projects like Gimp or a more open minded fork could use Ai generated code to develop similar automated tools.
Labwc is quite possibly the most stable and sane Wayland WM there is today, but op wanted a tiler. (Sway does crash every once in a while, Labwc doesn't and the devs are more open minded about features)
Yeah that's exactly one of the niche use cases, like using a midi keyboard, though using a low latency kernel like Linux Zen would be more than enough for most users.
Most of the time you would be fine, but sometimes stuff breaks in unexpected ways, so at the least you need to manage a good backup scheme or be ready to chroot whenever there is a system critical update.
As for Endeavor OS, It's basically Arch with a nicer and smarter installer (compared to Archinstall, not the Arch way). The downsides and maintenance are exactly the same.
I used it before, but ultimately it comes down to compatibility. Broadcomm is dominating the router space and 3rd party firmwares are a nono for that. So I just got an Asus that is supposed to be supported for a very long time.
That's something i've been occasionally experiencing with my Amerano usb as well. Though it's a kernel related problem, because switching to pulse does not solve it, booting up a 18Lts iso does.
In fact it's a bit better on pipewire and you can also experiment with a low latency kernel.
if battery is the priority the single biggest gain I can recommend is to use xorg with compositing off. (Gnome cannot do this, KDE can, if you use a WM then don't use Picom etc)
If you can tolerate screen tearing you can save a significant amount of power while web browsing.
It's not really card related, but rather it just comes up sometimes in niche circumstances. I only had this on my second monitor and then it went away with an nvidia driver update. (since then i moved to amd)
