From my experience your mileage may vary when it comes to being able to keep both monitors on. The concept of a primary monitor on wayland doesn't exist, and my games always choose the wrong monitor to render on. The game will open on my primary monitor but i can only select the resolution and refreshrate of my secondary monitor in the game settings. If you have identical monitors that would probably not be an issue, but i don't. Setting the primary xwayland display with xrandr helps for some games, but not all. The best solution for me ended up being to disable my secondary monitor when gaming.

I personally don't really care much about the init system. For most of my linux journey i was using arch, then void, then nixos, and now i'm back on void, so i jumped between systemd and runit for a bit. I never chose to use void because of its init system though, i just prefer its package manager. I found both systemd and runit to be fairly simple to use and it just gets out of my way. Poettering working for microsoft has concerned me a little bit, but if i'm being honest that's just me wearing the tin foil hat. I will say though that at this point, if something were to happen to void and i had to move back to arch, i might try using artix just for the style points, and because of me already being familiar with runit anyway.

I think the jedi games do this as well

Yeah i still use reddit alongside lemmy as well, and i started noticing that the pcmasterrace subreddit had more and more post complaining about linux users. It got so annoying that i ended up leaving the subreddit. It was kinda ironic because they kept complaining about how linux users bring up the fact that they use linux, but it seemed to me like i saw more posts of people complaining about it instead of actual linux users talking about linux lol

I won't bother going into technical details about x11 and wayland since other people already explained it much better than i ever could, but basically wayland is supposed to be replacing x11, because the codebase is so old now that it has become very hard to maintain and implement new features without breaking things. A window manager pretty much only handles the placement of windows on the screen, and you have to use seperate applications for setting a wallpaper, getting notifications, application launcher, etc. Whereas a desktop environment is a fully fledged out of the box experience. I personally really like window managers because i like the workflow of tiling window managers in particular, which places the windows in a predefined layout for you. Something that might be a bit confusing is that window managers on wayland are called compositors, which is because in wayland the window manager also has to do it's own compositing. In x11 you could use something like picom, which is a seperate compositor program that you could use to add graphical effects to any window manager, but on wayland this doesn't exist and the window manager has to implement its own compositing.

I personally hate the fact that they bloat up the block devices so much

It's a joke based of the fact that when you type apt install firefox on ubuntu, it will install the snap instead of the deb package, which is what you would expect when you use apt to install something.
