Ubuntu -> Arch -> Debian (stable) -> Fedora Silverblue -> NixOS
I have been reading about this since the news broke and still can't fully wrap my head around how it works. What an impressive level of sophistication.
It's a real shame that Nautilus doesn't have a built in split view, I always love that when I try Dolphin.
What a great looking release. I'm most excited that we finally have proper caldav/carddav support built in!
Probably using ddcutil
. There is a popular gnome extension for the same thing:

How is your battery life?
Meanwhile I get support for both completely ad free with infinite selection on my Jellyfin server... What on earth are these companies thinking, you literally get a superior product by not paying for it. I would gladly pay a small fee per download of DRM free files if that were an option.
Framework. I've run Debian, Fedora and for a while now NixOS, all of which have worked flawlessly.
I did have to replace the heatsink/fan part on mine because the fan bearing started clicking, but I'm sure that was just a first generation product issue (I was one of the first batches). I was glad to be able to do the replacement myself at relatively low cost and the process couldn't have been easier (took about 30 minutes).
My previous machine was a 2013-ish ThinkPad X series and the Framework absolutely blows it out of the water. I'm looking forward to upgrading mine to a Ryzen motherboard sometime in the not so distant future.
Grand Theft Auto.
All of them, but especially V. I have tried a few times to play them but never get more than a few missions in before losing interest in the story. I think I have to like or identify with a protagonist to enjoy a game, and most GTA characters are pretty unlikable.
Continued increase in Nix adoption. It seems like 2023 saw a real shift in favour of immutable solutions in general and Nix in particular.
I quite like Fastmail. It's a bit expensive but the service is very reliable and they have a well established reputation. You can create masked emails using their domain or your own from the web interface.
