Your old, dusty computer has better specs than anything I own. It'll run any DE just fine.

Nah, that's just oak. Oak floors do this sometimes.
It'd be nice if archives/front-ends were the default for everything. Redlib, Invidious, etc.
16th century England wasn't even capitalist. It was mercantilist-- strong central control over a zero-sum economic system focusing primarily on lopsided international trade as the means of building wealth.
So, uh, I don't know how to tell you this, but it sounds like you're an addict. You should consider taking days off from your phone. Like, 100% powered off. The false sense of urgency your phone provokes destroys your productivity and makes you less happy. You gotta unlearn that reflex.
If that's Yoshi's biggest gripe, wait till he discovers Kaizo.
Garuda. It's even easier than Manjaro. The theming can be a bit much, though.
Good. I don't need light in the evening, I need it in the morning so I can wake up feeling rested. End DST; make standard time permanent.
I know this is a bit of a necro-bump, but Today I Found Out just released a video answering exactly this question:

Apparently, adults are better at learning languages than kids.
Aside from your preference for debian-based distros, you're describing Garuda pretty well. But the chaotic-AUR is enabled by default, so you'd never need to hunt for .deb files in the first place. And the update script, "garuda-update", has a bunch of nice features by default, like taking snapshots and running grub-update (which would have prevented the grub fiasco that hit the arch-based distros a while back).
The only pain points are 1.) If you don't like Garuda's theming, you'll need to do some minor ricing to start, and 2.) Plasma 6 updates often enough that on a rolling release distro, something minor about your setup might break once every few months, e.g. KDE allows themes to set a minimum taskbar size and all of a sudden your taskbar increases in size, or your wallpaper gets reset for some reason.
KDE, because I'm too lazy to switch back to XFCE, which offered every feature I already use in KDE except without the stuttering, the bugs, and the update cycle that breaks things way, way too often on a rolling release distro.
Or openbox. My old laptop has openbox, but that's more for screwing around with EWW than doing day-to-day things.
