You can achieve it with a 3rd party router, just make sure it's compatible with OpenWrt and there's enough storage to install WireGuard on it, which is quite small but still

you can take a look into daisyUI or HyperUI, they are both JS-less. Not sure if you will be able to find shiny component library that works without JS
on the other hand, you can write your own minecraft server in pure bash: https://sdomi.pl/weblog/15-witchcraft-minecraft-server-in-bash/
you're not compiling anything with zsh (hopefully), it's just a shell
It makes perfect sense to write shell scripts in POSIX compliant language, but for everything else ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Fedora is great, it's a low-maintenance, stable solution. I have been running Alma Linux (also RHEL-derivative) for the past 2 years on my servers, and I never had an issue with it. However, it might be a little more tricky to get it right with some software, for example Docker and steamcmd.
Arch on the other hand is very straightforward after initial installation and still reliable enough. It's a complete DIY solution, so you have a complete freedom in choosing how do you want to customize it
it largerly depends on what are you looking for
If you just want to try something new -- Arch is a great option for desktop and everyday use, it has literally the best documentation available in linux world.
Other than that Fedora is great if you want something more simple and stable
Distilled Deepseek R1’s are really good for reasoning. I have found Gemma 2 27B to be great for general purpose. Qwen 2.5 Coder 32B seems to be the best option for coding
even 50% is actually insane, I guess I’m gonna launch a few of my own nodes lol
I would say that Arch is one of the best distros in terms of hardware compatibility. It has rolling updates and rich user repository (AUR). But in most cases the supported is the same across all distros, they all are Linux and in most cases it’s more about vendor being generous enough to provide Linux support.
Regarding gaming: Steam OS is actually Arch-based so you can be confident that it will run Proton flawlessly too
