windows users will do anything but switch to linux

yes

True, but it’s better than nothing. :p

For Spotify see https://github.com/zotify-dev/zotify. Rips songs directly from Spotify (no weird youtube downloader bullshit)

I don’t buy games that won’t run on linux.

telemetry is disabled at build time

but, just in case, that setting has been disabled and will be pushed in the next update

Mullvad, haven’t had any issues with it. If a site refuses my connection I just change servers until it works, even found a few that work on reddit

Better question is who is using VMware at all. QEMU+virt-manager on top.

I use Strawberry personally.

That’s the problem I’m trying to address here.

There is no solution to that problem. If you lose your password it’s gone.

off-site cloud storage

This could be a server that is off-site but still controlled by you. Or just use a cloud hosting provider that you trust, the database is encrypted anyway. Or hell it could even be a hard drive in a box somewhere, assuming you never add anything to your database. Personally my off-site backup is a flash drive that I carry around with me at all times, and manually update whenever I make changes.
