Yes and no. X11 is the old window system for Linux (and most Unixes), but it was very much not designed with security in mind, and has become difficult to maintain to the point that the only new updates made to it are to help with Wayland backwards-compatibility. Wayland is its de facto successor, and most new Linux desktop development is based on Wayland rather than X11.

VOY: "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy" comes to mind.

James T. Kirk acted as if the Temporal Prime Directive didn't exist. Kathryn Janeway knew it existed but actively didn't give a fuck.

You're basically describing the Linux Standard Base, which was abandoned back in 2015 and the way it was handled was somewhat controversial.

But there is a lot of informal standardization between Linuxes, nonetheless.

I don't think "one unified distro", or even an "official distro", is possible without taking critical parts of Linux private and closed-source. As long as the freedom exists people will make their own "versions" of (GNU/)Linux.

Ah okay, that makes more sense.

It sounded like OP wanted to install Proxmox on their main PC, which would imply using it as a daily driver desktop OS, which it isn't.

Isn't Proxmox intended for servers whose only use is to run VMs? Why not go for a traditional desktop distro like Mint and run KVM, QEMU, or VirtualBox on it?

Anyway, I have heard something like this, but it probably depends on the anti-cheat. Some might run in kernel mode to deliberately detect VMs. Others won't care if you use a VM.

I don't have this with bright light; that makes me uncomfortable, and I sometimes want to wince at it. But I may still experience what you're describing from other stimuli. For example, crowds don't always make me uncomfortable, but the excess sensory input from cross-talking can make it hard to focus or think, and have the effect of making me unable to take things seriously.

On the other hand, certain kinds of music can have a hypnotizing effect, and make me absolutely focused on whatever task I'm in the middle of. Though I consider that more beneficial, as it helps me get through schoolwork and some "adulting". It doesn't make me completely shut down or anything like that.

Are you talking about the Chrome extensions announcement? I understood this to be something different

I've never used AMD, but folks I know have had good experiences with both; support is about equal. You probably don't need to go for a top-tier device, and if you're running VMs and containers you should be just as concerned about RAM and disk space as CPU
