Try installing kwallet-pam. It will remember your secrets through PAM when you log in. Arch does not have kwallet-pam installed by default unless you install via plasma-meta package.
If you use Chromium, you will not be asked for creating a password store as well so that is another bonus for kwallet-pam.

Arch and RHEL enable zswap by default. Regular x86_64 Ubuntu and Debian do not have zswap nor zram enabled by default.

The Ubuntu based distros may have this phased update thing. That AskUbuntu link has a command to override APT package manager to install the held-back packages.
Ubuntu tends to hold back system critical packages in case there are issues. Systems with certain install UUIDs will be ‘guinea pigs’ and install these packages before everyone else. You can override this behavior and disable phased updates on that particular computer.
You may want to play around with alsamixer. Some audio cards have really low volume on some of the mixers like PCM out of the box on Linux.
For a lot of people, louder audio subjectively means better sounding audio. (Loudness wars for audio mastering for example.)
