When I first heard about Zen, I’ve tested it with EFF like I do for all web browsers I experiment with (from most mainstream to most unknown). Unfortunately, it doesn’t offer a full privacy.
Not everyone cares, but if this is something important for you, Librewolf has been the only one to come up with a full privacy protection result. Maybe you could achieve a good result if you use Arkenfox with Firefox… I didn’t try it.

I never owned this model but the ArchLinux wiki confirms that it’s supported, while “it is known to have very limited bios feature and limited Linux stability”.
I second that. The official documentation is always the place to start.
Then, if you need more info or other explanation I usually recommend looking at the arch wiki. Whether or not you’re using arch, instructions there are valid and one of the best you can find.

Looking for something else I ended up on MusicPlayerPlus which may check lots of the boxes, especially those not covered by ncmpcpp which is my favorite mpd frontend.

Doing that I can see the loading bar for half a second when reopening the app. As stated on the app webpage this is certainly to update the database with any new images but it doesn’t rebuild the entire database from scratch.
Maybe your cache gets deleted automatically when you close the app on your device. Make sure you have no other app that may do so.
This doesn’t sound like the normal behavior. From the app description: “This indexing process may take some time, but it’s a one-time event. Once this initial indexing process is complete, the app will store the index on your device, and any new photos you add to your photo library will be automatically added to the index on the subsequent app launches.”
If your experience is different you may let the dev know so they can fix it.
I use rofi as my app launcher and more. I’ve share my old script here.
I have now extended this script to support the following:
It’s been a long time since I checked the config options but yt-fzf only supports mpv as media player I think.
Yt-fzf is still an option if you’re interested.
Khal is also my app of choice for calendars, though it may not suit OP requirements since files are .ics Everything is kept in sync on my phone with Etar and DavX5.
Note that khal itself is the CLI aspect. It’s interactive interface (ikhal) is really the TUI aspect of this app.
ikhal is great to manage events but I prefer to use the command-line to create events. And this is the only minor complaint I have against khal: its lengthy commands and lack of user friendly dates support (like “today”, “next mon”…). Luckily all of that is easily fixable with a script which I should upload on my codeberg one day… I actually ended up adding edition and deletion support using (neo)vim and fzf so I don’t use ikhal anymore but only creating events is really faster and easier with my script compare to using ikhal.
I’ve been using xterm, urxvt, and st. Also tested alacrity, kitty, and wezterm. Your shell also plays a critical role in your terminal usage (but I won’t deviate here).
For my use-case, the latter are overkill so I stayed with st. The only missing feature for me was image support even though I use it sporadically. To cover that I use a script that relies on ueberzug or ucollage if I need to browse folders.
I’ve wrote a small post about ucollage if you’re interested.
If you’re looking for an in-browser alternative I’d highly recommend you take a look at the LibRedirect extension for Firefox and Chromium. It’ll automatically redirect any youtube URL to your preferred alternative between Invidious, Piped, PokeTube, CloudTube, Tubo, FreeTube, or Yattee.
If you’re looking for an external app and like using a Linux terminal then ytfzf may be a good choice. I’ve briefly talked about it here. It will even allow you to search on Youtube (through invidious), Peertube, and Odysee if you so desire.
If looking for a phone app, I personally like NewPipe.

I forgot about the distro. Any should work I think but Arch is fully supported if you’re interested.

Have you looked at the DYI option instead of the pre built one? Assembling this laptop is doable in 5 minutes for a 3 years old kid ;) You can even find step by step guides videos and that will bring the price down to your higher limit of 1000 euro. That may be a good option if you like the concept so much. I’m personaly looking to get one of those for my next machine.
Also, this discussion may help you. It’s on the framework forum but comments are not only all positive which reflects liberty of speech. Another plus in my view. Finally, always remember to compare apples to apples and take longevity in consideration. Not all processors with similar specs are the same for example.
Quite recently I moved to my first trackball (Elecom Deft Pro) and that was a life changer. I’ve shared my experience here.
When setting up your SSD, don’t forget to use TRIM to preserve it if possible. See the Arch wiki. You can follow it even if you use another distro.
Some sites don’t load because of some features disabled in Librewolf. You can enable them and have the sites load, but it defeats the purpose of the Librewolf configuration choices. Nonetheless this is still an option :)
