So what I see there is that badly designed fonts require ligatures to correct interactions.
Like, I get that there are some neat ones, e.g. I have them turned on when writing code for symbols, but they seem wholly unnecessary and distracting in alphabetical characters.
But I’m also the kind of weirdo that thinks the world needs more monospace fonts.

To me, that’s even worse. Ligatures that have 0 separation where it’s expected short circuit my reading comprehension.
The “fi” combination also seems problematic since they seem to intersect.
Similar functionality is actually baked into the kernel!
Don’t worry, George Kurtz (crowdstrike CEO) is unavailable today. He’s got racing to do #04 https://www.gt-world-challenge-america.com/event/95/virginia-international-raceway
Username checks out!
Wild. 5.27 broke it completely for me! (2070 Super)
I upgraded today!
Encountered only one multimonitor issue with one panel migrating to the primary display after logout/restart, but otherwise, smooth sailing.
Wayland session even seems stable on Nvidia again (I have nothing but regrets about that GPU choice I made 4 years ago).
Bah, I read Nobara and assumed gnome. You said KDE right there.
Well, good news: Kwallet has a similar feature, albeit through an extra package: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE_Wallet#Unlock_KDE_Wallet_automatically_on_login
To hazard a guess, this is a gnome keyring asking to be unlocked after login?
Caveat: it has been a few years since I was on gnome.
You can tie it to the login with the gnome keying PAM module.
Podman + distrobox might be the fastest way to get up and running.
This might be controversial, but I don’t think performance between distributions is really worth considering unless you have a very niche hardware requirement.
Features and community really make the difference.
You seem deflated.
