By what you just told I can’t tell if you have ever tried a live distro with it. I hope you did, or if not, that you pick a distro of your liking and try it with your laptop.
(My PC is about 7 years old and it’s still going as new, so I was shocked reading your comment - I completely forgot Windows/Mac really tax you for “old” hardware)
I get it. Kinda like with scotch whisky
and china, they domesticated chinese food
and they also redesigned their website to look exactly like GNOME’s
Oh. I thought this was just another case of the consequences of the GNOME-ization of GTK but that… probably they want to became part of GNOME.
I just happen to be in the complete opposite. I think it’s better because I like it and it lets me to do what I want to do without getting in the way.

The one I’ve been using for the last 17 years, Gentoo
I so wish they can bring back the one-wallpaper-per-virtual-desktop thing. I’ve been missing it since the KDE 4.x days, but now seeing the dynamic virtual desktops thing in GNOME makes me wish KDE had it as an option (like, you could chosse between dynamic virtual desktops or fixed virtual desktops).
I just don’t like ssdm or logind non-integration with kde.
As if I didn’t had enough reasons to love Gentoo.
I still wonder if the systemd imposition on the new login manager is absolute and can’t be circumvented in any way, i.e. GNOME is allegedly dependent on systemd but you can circumvent it by using logind instead of the full systemd install
I was using vim since 2009 or so, and at the time I had no complaints about it other than it felt heavy. So when neovim came out I tried it and… it felt pretty much the same.
Then I learned about vis and never have looked back. It still has things I wish it had respect to vim/neovim (i.e. vim-like buffers…) because of its lack of manpower in development, but otherwise it’s really snappy and the structural regex thing is so great. Oh and it has lua scripting support too.
I want to know what it is that specific reason you need PS?
I have always heard not to use antivirus on Linux
I’ve never heard anything like that, and if it’s true it’s really bad advice, to be honest. It’s not that you shouldn’t use an antivirus on Linux, but an extra of security is not bad because shit happens and with its popularity increasing Linux can face security challenges in the future.
Still if you know what you’re doing you can do just fine without an antivirus.
Damn physic laws removing the fun from physics
I think it’s better for Linux to grow its base organically and the best advertisement for it is its own quality. But maybe that’s just me.
I’ve never used it but since it’s basically a kwin script I’d bet you can change them in system settings, like in system settings -> keyboard -> keyboard shortcuts -> Window management (or however it is named in english) -> look up for krohnite
E: Or maybe, just maybe, in its entry in the Kwin scripts section - System settings -> Window management (or however it is named in english) -> Kwin scripts -> Krohnite -> Click or tap the cog button -> maybe there should be something related to keyboard shortcuts

Think about a linux installation on a removable usb drive or a CD or DVD.
You won’t install Linux directly in your hard drive or whatever but in a removable device.
With it you can boot your laptop in it and use it almost as if it was actually installed on your laptop. It will let you check for hardware compatibility and that sort of thing. Also it won’t be as smooth as if it was actually installed on your laptop but for the looks of it even that way you would notice a huge difference with whatever you have installed on your laptop right now.
There are many linux flavors to test, and maybe people around here can give you better examples, but at the tip of my tongue right now there’s ubuntu or fedora, which have great hardware support by default.
