For video recording I use OBS and for zip files I use 7-Zip

Im on AMD so can’t help with that

Just made the switch to Nobara Linux on my desktop and ill probably go with Mint on my ancient laptop tomorrow. My only hang up was games but it seems like compatibility is a lot better nowadays so hopefully I can fully switch over. Same for windows only programs and Wine.

Depends, some people see it as what is the most accessible (eg. Prusa) while others want affordability (eg. Ender 3 and clones) and most want a mix of both.

Anycubic Mega Zero V2. Nothing special just an Ender 3 clone/budget model. Does involve a lot of filing and sanding though

Telegram channels are your best bet. Something like STL Forest or STLworld should have what you need
