Sorry I didn’t read your post in depth. But if you need switches, especially with lots of ports or PoE, older Alcatel-Lucent switches are rock-solid and relatively cheap off ebay, cause lots of companies that used them are upgrading. Just make sure to find one that fits your requirements per port.

Nobody actually answered your question so far, so here I go:
You can just install it over the other.
Make sure in the installer you have to tell it to use the whole drive where you want to install it to.
Some distros try to be smart and keep the /boot and /home directories, but then the installer has a checkbox to keep or delete it.
If you want to be extra sure, boot into the Bazzite USB stick. Then before installing, fire up the partition manager (there should be one, but idk what it is called) and just delete all partitions on the disk where you had Nobora installed on before.
Deleting partitions shouldn’t mess up anything, unless the partition was still in use by something else.
So if you have a disk that is just used for Nobora, deleting all the disks partitions will not mess up anything. If you have multiboot from the same disk then yes, you have to be a bit careful to not mess up whatever you want to not delete.
But as I said this is just to make extra sure. First try just installing Bazzite over Nobora, it should probably delete everything. If not, then you can delete partitions and reinstall again.
I use Tor every once in a while for basic web browsing just to add some regular traffic to the network and not just dark web traffic.

you can use libreddit instances with your vpn ( for convenience you can install the libredirect plugin in firefox or whatever, just make sure to go to the specific reddit settings in the plugin, ping the instances and add only the ones that are up. The default one has been down for a while. )

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it.

Install Windows on his laptop, or better yet let him do it and sit besides him for guidance, so that he can learn to reinstall in case something breaks badly.
It’s nice to showcase your favourite OS and make people curious but don’t abuse your friends with your Linux preference by forcing it onto them.
(Also, if you fix everything for them all the time, how will they learn?)
Not sure thats possible. But there are some workarounds like using a keyfile on a usb or a yubikey which can output a static password on longpress. Or some other hack-around.
Some relevant search results, the first one seems especially promising:

I won’t go into all of them, but to summarize, it works perfectly for me.
The cool thing about a cluster is the upgrade path. It started with just two blades, but as I ran more docker containers and went out of resources, I just bought more. Am now up to 6 and there are still 2 free slots if I need it.
Storage I definitely overprovisioned but it will get used up eventually, that one is a bit more tricky to smoothly upgrade. Each blade has one nvme slot, but for bulk storage I have external raid enclosures, which is somewhat awkward.
Like you implied, it all depends on your need. If all you need is to run some private services, as OP is asking about, a bunch of SBCs or an old second hand office computer will do just fine and be very nicely priced compared to renting a similarly specced VPS.
