You're basically describing the Linux Standard Base, which was abandoned back in 2015 and the way it was handled was somewhat controversial.
But there is a lot of informal standardization between Linuxes, nonetheless.

I don't think "one unified distro", or even an "official distro", is possible without taking critical parts of Linux private and closed-source. As long as the freedom exists people will make their own "versions" of (GNU/)Linux.
I haven't tried this myself, but do you happen to know exactly which model of MacBook you have?
I did some searching and found a (very old) Debian Wiki article saying that the MacBook 1,1 and 2,1 require 32-bit UEFI, and in the case of the 2,1, this is despite the CPU being 64-bit. Though that's unlikely to be the case here given that those Ubuntu variants reach the boot screen.
Do NOT let it near other cats.
Ah okay, that makes more sense.
It sounded like OP wanted to install Proxmox on their main PC, which would imply using it as a daily driver desktop OS, which it isn't.
Isn't Proxmox intended for servers whose only use is to run VMs? Why not go for a traditional desktop distro like Mint and run KVM, QEMU, or VirtualBox on it?
Anyway, I have heard something like this, but it probably depends on the anti-cheat. Some might run in kernel mode to deliberately detect VMs. Others won't care if you use a VM.
I don't have this with bright light; that makes me uncomfortable, and I sometimes want to wince at it. But I may still experience what you're describing from other stimuli. For example, crowds don't always make me uncomfortable, but the excess sensory input from cross-talking can make it hard to focus or think, and have the effect of making me unable to take things seriously.
On the other hand, certain kinds of music can have a hypnotizing effect, and make me absolutely focused on whatever task I'm in the middle of. Though I consider that more beneficial, as it helps me get through schoolwork and some "adulting". It doesn't make me completely shut down or anything like that.
This has me imagining an alternate world in which contracts are only valid in a nation's official language, and thus the GPL and the Windows EULA surpass the Bible to become the most translated works in history
I've never used AMD, but folks I know have had good experiences with both; support is about equal. You probably don't need to go for a top-tier device, and if you're running VMs and containers you should be just as concerned about RAM and disk space as CPU
Well, Linux is 32 years old; GNU goes back to 1984, and Unix all the way back to 1970! The history of this OS is much older than Linus Torvalds's involvement; he "only" created and maintains the most popular kernel.
But yes, happy birthday to Linux. Many thousands have contributed to making this operating system what it is today and they all have my utmost thanks for it.
James T. Kirk acted as if the Temporal Prime Directive didn't exist. Kathryn Janeway knew it existed but actively didn't give a fuck.
