Dart/Flutter allows for compiling native apps and allows for better device access.

I would not recommend react-native. I would recommened Tauri instead but Tauri does not compile apps for Android and iOS currently but has this on its roadmap.

I always used Xubuntu or Linux Mint Xfce. Both have access to the Ubuntu package repository and are easy to use and install.

But not for mobile, especially Android. I would like librewolf to maintain a hardened Android app with their own F-Droid repo.

True.

I wish someone can fork Brave on desktop and mobile and take out all the other stuff. And if someone could fork firefox for desktop and mobile and make it a hardened browser out of the box.

How is blendOS based?

And personally most distros will do since linux is secure over all. I like Linux Mint personally and is good for programming and generic use.

Dont forget to install candy crush when it prompts you to do so.

A good place to start is Linux Mint with the Cinnamon desktop download option.

Start off with Bottles if Wine is too hard. Wine is a cmd line application while Bottles is Wine with a GUI making it easy to manage Wine.

Also, it is wise to try and have a different wine bottle (aka prefix) for each windows application you install and run.

Also Linux Mint is a distro that comes with Cinnamon pre-installed as long you download the Cinnamon option which is a fork of Ubuntu.

SSDs are quite reliable and way faster than HDD over time. Only use HDD if your backing up data and even yet, there are mdiscs for data archiving.
