also, you should make backups and have a restore strategy that covers cases like this.

you can boot from a liveCD or USB, then mount the main OS, bind mount dev and proc, chroot into it and reconfigure/reinstall the boot loader
VMs can be slow AF tho. Also, they use up a lot of disk space and RAM, because you have a whole ectra OS in there. But yeah, a lot of proprietary things work better in VMs with their native OS.
things that differ between distros, because everyone thinks they can do it better than others: multimedia and sound, firewall config, service management, different init systems, switching default when multiple packages provide the same feature and are installed in parallel, config file migration during updates, making and installing your own custom kernel, selection of free games available.
a bootable removable medium that can display and chainload all the installed OSes
No idea. The USB should be in there. Can you look onto the USB from Windows? (but don’t change anything on it) Maybe the port doesn’t work properly.
You should try enabling the options in:
and disable:
then Restart>Exit Saving Changes and press F12 furiously during next boot (as i don’t know when exactly) and select USB.
did you try and press F1 at the logo screen after power on and adjust settings in the UEFI BIOS Config, Security and Startup menus?
what i don’t like about most tiling WMs is they are keyboard only. you can’t hold a beverage in one hand and use them easily with the mouse. only very few let you also do most things with mouse (notion for example). currently i use Gnome (mutter standard WM) with the Forge extension (that adds tiling) for that reason. It’s not perfect, but lets me use my phone with one hand and operate the PC with the other etc.
that’s not watching the events though, just showing the log of the service for dbus. the events can be watched with dbus-monitor
with the command dbus-monitor
it prints the events while they happen
idk but maybe watch your dbus for events when it works and if there are any, you can send one yourself or get your audio apps to do it. just a guess since a lot of stuff goes through dbus nowadays. you could also check the kernel logs, but it’s less likely to help

I’m not using btrfs on my main workstation, but I make a fresh backup whenever my distro prompts me to update. I haven’t needed a backup in years though, because I’m experienced in doing even experimental things the way they should be done (like not using sudo in reflex for any permission error or using /usr/local/ or .local/ instead of mixing custom stuff with OS stuff etc)
this reads like you don’t make backups or don’t have a restore strategy. if the system is important enough that you worry about updates breaking it, you should make backups from time to time and have a bootable restore system on a removable medium.
I don’t trust f-droid as well, because some of its apps crash the (un)installer and can therefore never be removed.
However, you need a trustworthy party and they have to digitally sign the APK after checking the code (changes) and compiling it themselves. They can also sign messages they send to the public.

just make sure you have backups and stuff like this doesn’t matter
