While my solution isn't perfect (if someone key logged my computer I am very screwed), I think it's better than (1) have a much higher chance of losing my 2FA tokens altogether (2) put all hope on Bitwarden being not compromised

Do you want to have 2fa keys on all your devices?
Yes
Doesn’t that defeat the purpose?
I use different password between KeepassXC and Bitwarden. (On my phone one of them is unlocked by fingerprint because I am lazy but not both)
And I don't store KeepassXC password in Bitwarden.
Syncthing and KeepassXC for syncing 2FA between devices. (I use Bitwarden for passwords)
If your command doesn't change (doesn't require dynamic input), sudoers file can make specific command+argument run without password required.

(You can also use wildcards in sudoers file but with nftables I imagine it's a big security risk)
sudo chattr +i (folder) prevents anything to modify/delete folders and files
Add -R for setting the flag for all subdirectory/files
hmm...... I would skip dpkg command in this case.
Maybe try command listed here

If you have Ubuntu install USB ready, I can't see why not try the command.
One of the engineer in my workplace did the upgrade (22.04 -> 23.10 -> 24.04), also end up with broken system, I fixed their Ubuntu by doing these steps.
The best way is to backup whatever is important to you right now, if you haven't already.
Then I would check/do (No grantee that it helps your case):
-
Which Ubuntu version does /etc/apt/source.list point to? noble = 24.04, mantic = 23.10
-
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
-
sudo apt install -f
-
sudo apt upgrade
I still use X11 in my work computer because I need keepassxc to auto-type password to non-web programs.
My old computer that was build about 6 years ago started not getting powered since about 2 years ago, when I unplug it and took it to computer shops, that computer gets powered instantly when plugged in, but I needed to wait at least 12 hours before I attempt to plug it in again in order to make it boot (if I am lucky).
I changed the PSU, didn't work, bought a UPS as stop gap fix, I saved money to buy a new PC instead.
I recommend separate EFI partitions while dual booting, I haven't seem issues with my separate EFI partition setup yet.
If Mint provides Btrfs filesystem I personally recommend looking into timeshift (snapshot software that can be setup to automatically snapshot your computer).
According to Linux Mint forum, you need to choose an option in "Advanced features" while going through installer, that seems straight forward
Don't have experience with this but I can tell you: While rclone supports bi-directional sync, you need some setup for make it run periodically.
In the end you have to give trust to someone, I think it's fair to say if you already choose Mint you probably trust whatever options comes with Mint more than 3rd party options (but is it theoretically possible that backdoored program exists in Mint repository? of course yes).
