This rant sounds like an informercial full of fake problems nobody has.
I have used Linux for decades and have never experienced any of this.
1. Use the software packaged for your distro. Want to update? then update. It just works.
2. Use the packaged nvidia drivers for your distro. Want to update? then update. It just works.
3. Prefer a laptop that is compatible with Linux, if that's not possible, use a laptop-friendly distro.
4. 99.99999% of people will never ever try to do that probably that's why.
5. Most of them are key/value based despite the syntax.
6. Yet most distros inherit from a major base distro like Redhat, Debian or others. If you want to use Slackware or Gentoo then that's your own choice.
7. There are many distros but, many of them are Debian or Redhat based, the ones that aren't are used by a tiny percentage of users.
8. And Pipewire solves this, and is the default sound server on recent distros.
