I don’t think Sidebery is a great implementation unless the developers fix this bug. It can be reproduced stably and is important for users who opened many tabs and keep them between session.

I've been thinking about getting a hardware security key and have heard of yubikey before; but I want to see what my options are and if they are worth it in your opinion.
My current setup is a local KeePassXC database (that I sync between my PC and phone and also acts as TOTP authenticator app), I know that KeePass supports hardware keys for unlocking the database.
I am personally still of the belief that passwords are the safest when done right; but 2FA/MFA can greatly increase security on top of that (again, if done right).
The key work work together with already existing passwords, not replace them.
As I use linux as my primary OS I do expect it to support it and anything that doesn't I will have to pass on.
PS: what are the things I need to know about these hardware keys that's not being talked about too much, I am very much delving into new territory and want to make sure I'm properly educated before I delve in.
Use a git repo and stow tool. For updating, you only need run git pull (and stow if you create config for a new software). If you modify some config, just git add && git commit && git push.
With this way, you can also record change history of your config.
Maybe you can do both: physical USIM card, but with eSIM functions. So you can move your profile from one phone to another just by plug out and plug in, and install many profiles on one phone and switch between them. There are some products can do it, such as eSIM.me, esim.5ber.com or github.com/estkme-group .
I’m trying to get the scaling right on my 4k monitors, but icons look wonky, and the whole thing doesn’t look right.

You should, I think. You don’t have Nvidia GPU, so you can avoid almost bugs and get better performance.
Advantages:
Better performance. e.g. for Firefox, @lilydjwg got double performance in wayland.
Better multi-screen with multi-DPI support.
Better maintaince. Many DE has put more and more to wayland. And many new features will only be implemented in wayland. (That’s because implementing many new features will be difficult or even impossible in X11 old software architecture, as KWin developers said.)
Disadvantages:
Some missing feature, such as remote desktop.
Many bugs when you use Nvidia GPU.
None of the compositors except KWin and Hyprland can use input methods with electron.
I don’t know which DE/WM you use. If you use Plasma/GNOME, migration is simple, just switch in SDDM/GDM. If you use i3, you can try sway, it’s compatible with i3 config. If you use others, you can try hyprland or wayfire. Wayfire has fantastic animations.
I switch to wayland because I buy a new screen with different DPI… But when I switched, I found I got better performance and video hardware acceleration in Firefox (this feature was introduced to Firefox Wayland first).
It’s reference implementation, but isn’t suitable for daily use. Because it lacks some convenient features. It’s used as a behavior reference when some one develop a new compositor.
X11 + Intel card, 1080p 60fps, GPU fully utilized, one third of frames dropped! 4k 60fps is about the same. It turns out that the focus is not on the resolution (the GPU isn’t used to its full capacity anyway), it’s on the frame rate of the video.
Wayland + Intel cards, 4k 60fps, not even dropping frames, let alone anything else, and the GPU is used for about half of the graphics calculations.
For hardware decode, when I switched to wayland, it was only implemented in Wayland. After they implememted EGL on X11, they implemented hardware decode on X11 as well.
For mixed DPI, applications can implement it use screen information, but not all applictions will do this. But wayland ask them to implement this feature.
It may be related to Nvidia. Most bugs I met in Wayland is related to it. Such as no dmabuf export support, and vulkan init will fail because a bug in nvidia prime implementation…
As Linus said, so Nvidia, fuck you…

I prefer use Yubikey/Canokey instead of TPM. SSH key may be used outside or in other environment (such as my laptop, Android or iPad). And TPM support less algorithms than Yubikey, especially Ed25519 and RSA4096.
I am im the market for a hardware key for MFA. I want to put it on my keyring and put it in my pocket so I always have it with me.

You can buy one Canokey Pigeon, which is close source, but with protection of security chip.
You can make one Canokey STM32/NRF52, which is opensource, but no security chip protection, so if someone got your key, she can extract the key from it.
HAM stands for amateur radio operator. That’s originally pejorative usage (like “ham actor”) for amateur radio operator by operators in commercial and professional radio communities.
