Imo any distro basically just works the same, I've never tried one of the "gaming" distros, but installing steam, proton and lutris is so straightforward that any distro will do imo. From there on it's just a matter of going onto protondb and figuring out tweaks for your games.
As for dual boot I highly recommend separate drives, windows likes to overwrite grub with every update if located on the same drive. From there on just do a basic Linux install and configure your bootloader to look for other bootable oses
Why do we need tmux if we have tiling window managers?
Go for it, I'm pretty sure there's a ton of people that would pay a shitload of money if you're able to achieve this for every possible position
On the upside, if he's finished with this he has literally solved chess.
On the downside, the heat death of the universe will probably happen before he's able to finish this.
The distro is usually not really the problem, the desktop environment usually takes up a decent amount of disk space and snap/appimage/flatpak packages compared to native packages from your package manager. At least when strictly speaking about the system and programs, personal data (videos, Images, music,...) is still the biggest storage hog. I don't think there is a good option, you could ofc shrink your windows partition and grow your Linux partition or just buy more storage, storage is really cheap these days. Additionally you can regularly clean up your system, delete the saved logs, delete unneeded files and uninstall unused packages/programs.
IMO most users that need to / want to tinker with such settings are proficient enough in the CLI and man pages to do so and will use the CLI anyway even if a GUI tool is available for it (at least speaking for me since if I use a CLI I know what I'm doing, with some gui I don't know what it's doing under the hood, sure I could read the source, but at that point why not use the CLI). Users that aren't won't really have the need to do so. And if they have it's far safer to do so in the CLI because you have to have an understanding of what you're doing and do some research than just clicking around in a GUI without knowing what it actually does.
winget install firefox --source=winget and you never have to open edge again, ever
sudo apt install firefox
sudo pacman -S firefox
sudo dnf install firefox
And even:
winget install firefox --source=winget
And than there is netflix, which refuses to run on android phones with an unlocked bootloader, not even using a custom ROM, just an unlocked bootloader
If setup correctly qemu/kvm should have much better performance since it fully supports kernel level virtualization
I haven't read anything you wrote other than the title, but yes AMD is so much better, everything just works, nothing breaks with updates, no weird quirks,... It's just so much QoL you get by using AMD
