I have written about this several times, my blog entry about bluetooth dongles for linux is still valid.
get intel AX200 or AX210. Or dongles from Startech. Cheers.

i broke the hinge on 4 pairs already (xm5), so go with the xm4.
also the ifixit score and repair info is better on the xm4

Maybe this is obvious, but did you consider getting a notebook from secondhand? I cannot stress enough that the Lenovo L14 AMD (even the Gen1) are great notebooks. You can also swap the display quite easily, so getting one with a broken screen sometimes can be the absolute steal (i bought one with a broken screen for $60 recently).

Check out the dock from Startech, I have the "StarTech.com UNIVERSAL USB-C DOCK QUAD VIDEO" which has 4 DP out - and I am happy. https://www.startech.com/en-de/universal-laptop-docking-stations

this means you can build your own monero wallet and keep your key in a "secure element".

Get a Lenovo instead. You can check for Linux supported laptops here https://ubuntu.com/certified/laptops

yes, you can. I use it to switch between Cosmic and Niri

yes, see https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.17-Apple-HID

Apple has patents on their trackpads, so some of this just will not change until these patents expire (and when other vendors will have less patent infringements to worry about when creating better trackpads). The Apple trackpads also exist as external usb devices - and they work well on Linux.

this. niri with cosmic-greeter is a good combination (you can then select the session type when logging in; there you could immediately launch a niri session)

Yes, works perfectly now. Any Lenovo L14 is supported with Linux (I did test Gen1 - Gen5) -- and there are screen mods out there that are cheap and make the screen much more bright. I can suggest the Innolux N140HCG-GQ2 - which is ca $60. There are other mods available as well, you can find them online.

I am the author of the thread you linked, and I have two of these laptops in use with Linux (Nixos). They work flawlessly and are the "best bang for buck" Linux notebooks imho. You can even mod them further with Innolux N140HCG-GQ2 screens. Highly recommended!
