I've never used a case and never broken a screen. I've only replaced my last several phones due to swollen batteries. Although, I've definitely dropped my phone a couple times where I thought for sure that my streak would be over, but I've just been lucky.

    That isn't entirely true. You can change it as long as it is done via package overrides or overlays. Sure it rules out just compiling/installing something into your root unless you package it first but you can change it.

    I honestly like the fact that it effectively enforces every file in the immutable parts of the OS to be traceable back to some package.

    You probably did but, there are two Nvidia entries. I'm assuming you downloaded the one under Modern GPUs because it makes sense for your main PC, but a GTX 970 would need the entry that is under Older/Legacy GPUs.

    Most computers firmware can store a Windows executable. Microsoft pushed for an addition to the ACPI tables called WPBT. That stores a Windows exectuable in the firmware. It is of course totally used for the intended purpose...
