Check if you have qt5-imageformats package installed. It is an optional dependency for kio-extras package that is not installed by default on Arch distros.
I am pretty sure webp works with the wallpaper picker on plasma5 from my experience.
You may want to play around with alsamixer. Some audio cards have really low volume on some of the mixers like PCM out of the box on Linux.
For a lot of people, louder audio subjectively means better sounding audio. (Loudness wars for audio mastering for example.)
Try installing kwallet-pam. It will remember your secrets through PAM when you log in. Arch does not have kwallet-pam installed by default unless you install via plasma-meta package.
If you use Chromium, you will not be asked for creating a password store as well so that is another bonus for kwallet-pam.

Ensure that "nvidia-drm.modeset=1" is enabled in kernel parameters with wayland and Nvidia (open or proprietary Nvidia drivers). You probably do not want to be using Nouveau at the moment.
Arch and RHEL enable zswap by default. Regular x86_64 Ubuntu and Debian do not have zswap nor zram enabled by default.
FSF and OSI have slightly different definitions for software. FSF believes in free and open source software (copyleft i.e. GPL) whereas OSI believes in permissive, open source licenses (i.e. MIT/BSD).
In the 1990s, they had disagreements against each other because FSF and Stallman believe in FLOSS/FOSS and free software advocacy politics. OSI was more concerned with open source workflows and not with free software advocacy politics, which was initially more popular with businesses.
A lot of dark chocolate on the market contain milk even though they are not supposed to since they are processed with the same equipment. Some brands list milk in their dark chocolate ingredient label. Perhaps OP is very sensitive to that certain sour flavour.
American chocolates (like Hershey's) tend to taste more sour because they have more sugar and less cacao. The milk also tends to have a more butyric acid taste for some reason. Perhaps the difference is how the milk is treated, but those are trade secrets.
The Ubuntu based distros may have this phased update thing. That AskUbuntu link has a command to override APT package manager to install the held-back packages.
Ubuntu tends to hold back system critical packages in case there are issues. Systems with certain install UUIDs will be 'guinea pigs' and install these packages before everyone else. You can override this behavior and disable phased updates on that particular computer.
WebP can be lossless or lossy compression. However, it is not easily apparent which compression mode is used for a given WebP file.
Google says lossy WebP is 25 percent smaller than JPEG and lossless WebP is 25 percent smaller than PNG.
I think almost everyone from S. Korea and other parts of Asia have that small pox vaccine scar on that top part of their arm. American soldiers that deployed overseas all have that small pox vaccine scar as well. Taking vaccines and medication is basically mandatory for military.
Microsoft is an advertising company just like Google, Meta, Amazon, and Apple. Bing search and Edge browser in Windows are a few ways ads are shown to users. Netflix is using Microsoft ads network for their platform to show to their subscribers. Companies pay a lot of money to get preferential suggestions/queries on their stores and search engines.

Microsoft generates over 10 billion US Dollars per year in revenue from their advertisement division. The revenue growth from their advertisement business is growing exponentially at around 10 percent every year.
Are you talking about addresses like 192.168.x.x? Do you have subnet routing enabled in Tailscale?
That just means the TPM will not auto unlock the encrypted disk. You would have to unlock with whatever LUKS password (or key file) you set for that drive. There is optionally a TPM master key you can export that is similar to the Microsoft Bitlocker password (40 digit number iirc), that Lennart mentioned in his blog. If you deleted any other key slots and do not have that TPM master key, you will not be able to unlock the LUKS drive.
If you look at that freedesktop manpage I linked, it states some of the PCR values and what each one measures. When you enroll a PCR, that value is stored in the TPM. If anything differs between the system and the TPM, the TPM will refuse to unlock that encrypted drive.
For example, PCR 0 measures your motherboard UEFI firmware. If you update the firmware, the TPM will not unlock your LUKS drive until you re-enroll the drive once again. Is is a personal choice, but enrolling certain PCR into the TPM can be more inconvenient.
I think pcr 7+8 (for grub) or pcr 7+12 (for systemd-boot) should be okay. The more pcr you add, the higher likelihood you need to re-enroll after updates.

The reason why using your own keys can be a problem is if you exclude the Microsoft certificates, then oproms from graphics cards stop working. You have to add the Microsoft certs after using your own key for the top level platform key.
For Debian, if you use out of kernel modules like Nvidia, you have create signing keys and edit a config file so dkms to sign those modules for those modules to work with Secure Boot. Instructions are on the Debian wiki.
