once it’s all up and running you’re going to need to be comfortable in the terminal to sort things out.

The tagline of the distro is “A terminal-centric distro with a vibrant and friendly community at its core” So I’m not sure that is something to complain about, and is by design of their team.

To me it isn’t designed as a beginner distro just a preconfigured arch with a nice gui installer and defaults that work for nearly everyone.

Unless your buying a superspeed pci-e gen 4 drive you really don’t even need a heatsink for most drives.

It can absolutely be done, I’ve been running uefi modified Chromebooks for a while, my 12th gen intel Chromebook even runs windows now.

Pretty cool project, haven’t seen it before. as someone who has used two different UEFI flashed Chromebooks as main laptops it’s not something I would use. Really only useful if you want to retain ChromeOS compatibility and I guess only want Linux as secondary option.
