I should be another one of those "dumber than the average human" folks (and yesterday Lemmy told me so because they are saying two different apps on my phone are the same app...?) but am pretty sure the thing with Israel went off the Hanlon's razor long ago.
K9 is Thunderbird
Seems you didn't even read my comment - but no, at least for the moment K-9 is not Thunderbird..
Been using K-9 for a time and tried Thunderbird - it feels kind of smoother and there are some visual overhauls but ended uninstalling it because it was hard for me to tell which mails were unread (and which ones not) in the main mail list while in dark mode. I guess I'm not the only one who felt that way and surely they will fix it but this also left me the sensation that there's not much sense in switching to Thunderbird if you're using K-9.
I agree, it's kind of funny in their website claim they don't put "bells and whistles" in their UI yet it looks way cluttered compared to K-9/Thunderbird.
No doubt it can work better than the aforementioned but it'd be nice if their devs could be a bit humble and recognize its UI could get some love and it would be beneficial for FairEmail.
And I want r/forhire. At least something like r/slave labour. As with r/3dprinting, Lemmy alternatives are dead. I was told to look for some alternative at Mastodon but I'm not a microblogging person, feeling much better here.

Unless you were f*cked by your ISP as I am right now, that's having some balls. Or being masochist. But nothing in between
Can't answer for all your requirements but for the gist of it I'm guessing you'd like KDE. I guess you'd like Kate as your text editor and Krename as your file rename tool. It comes with some Windows-y keyboard shortcuts set by default as Win+L to lock the screen (and ask for your password).
Can't tell about ffmpeg nor mpv GUI frontends as I'm more of a cli person but I seem to recall there are several KDE/Qt frontends for mpv and it won't be surprising if there's one for ffmpeg too.
As for your distro question I'd try Fedora if I were you, though you might feel adventurous and try with Arch (and surely you'll learn a thing or two about Linux and your computer).
Other than that, the nice people in here surely can give you better options.
It's because you're pregnant.
But on all seriousness, some say that there are cases when the would-be-father also feels nauseous with food when the girl gets pregnant.
I'm old and my gateway to Linux was Ubuntu 5.10 via a live CD they gave me at uni back in 2006.
I got to experience it when they used to take seriously their "Linux for human beings" motto.
Those were GNOME 2 and kernel 2.x times. Albeit the limitations of the technology (40GB HDD disk, 256 MB RAM, an Intel Xeon processor which I can't remember it's exact specs) it felt way snappier (no pun intended) than Windows. You could felt they cared about it in that brown visual theme, the icons, the sounds, the way the documentation was phrased - you could feel the Ubuntu in it.
I ended wiping my entire docs drive while trying to install it but got to learn lots of stuff and feel like my computer was actually mine.
Same as for many people my generation, I switched to Linux thanks to that Ubuntu. It's really sad what it has become and the poor, selfish decisions they have taken, but still it keeps holding a special place in the Linux memories.
Not a seasoned programmer myself but I did one (with Telethon and Python) to remind everyone in my family about incoming medical appointments for my parents, due dates for public services and calculating how much everyone must pay or due dates for going for their medications
