grow a plant, hug your dog, lift heavy, eat healthy, be a nerd, play a game and help each other out
totally fine in my experience, and I ‘dumb guy’ my way through the whole thing.
my primary workstation system started with Fedora 28 > 43 - persisting through many hardware swaps and all sorts - though that’s with the gnome desktop.
I’d imagine you could conduct full system upgrades via Discover on KDE too.
excellent find! hope it serves you well
nvidia have been promoting ‘big format gaming displays’ since I want to say about 2019. Some of them reach the dimensions you specify, I just hope these are VESA adaptive sync/FreeSync capable and not all GSync Ultimate module displays (they can be made to work in VESA mode but not without issues in my experience).
I think I’ve seen one or two obscure TV models offering DisplayPort over USB type C, it may have been from Hisense
No prob, really sorry about the situation though, I know it sucks. I’ve been looking into replacing my TVs with large PC displays with DisplayPort.
I’m not sure if you can somehow work around the HDMI forum limitation with an active converter, but I think they’re intended to be used at the adapter side (convert HDMI output to DP).
You don’t need proprietary drivers nor should you have to disable MST.
If you’re using HDMI 2.1, you won’t be able to use VRR on a Linux system as the HDMI forum have blocked the AMDGPU implementation for the feature - they don’t allow FOSS implementations of HDMI 2.1 VRR

in-place upgrades are fine for just about any contemporary, mainstream Linux distro. You may find this experience to be more robust than on windows.
I believe you can also upgrade via separate installation media, but you won’t find yourself needing to.
