Also, are malware-free cursor applications still a thing? Or does it make me an old man to want to do it in 2023?

At least on my end, changing Bottles' permission settings using Flatseal or KDE Plasma's integrated Flatpak settings to make it have access to all users' files makes it work correctly.
Remember to always use the Flatpak version of Bottles, because the native versions are usually very outdated and broken (the RPM version, for example, is totally broken and in a version from mid to late 2022).
That's just it: I AM using Flatseal and as far as I can tell it gave me all of the confirmation that it's been installed correctly and works...and nothing else. No functionality changes
As for KDE Plasma, a cursory search seems to indicate that it's not compatible with Lubuntu, which is kind of a deal breakers unless one of the compatible ones is as lightweight AND as stable AND as newbie friendly as Lubuntu, which would be a minor miracle IMO lol
I think you can try your luck with either Nobara or Bazzite, they are very user-friendly. I find Nobara more user-friendly, but Bazzite is an immutable distro, so it is naturally more stable, more secure, etc.
I use Nobara KDE, and the idle RAM consumption is of around 1 GB.
