Gentoo and Debian. Debian will let you get back to what you really want to be doing whereas gentoo gives you excellent granularity over everything, but can be overwhelming and time consuming.

Really should ask yourself what you’ll be mostly doing and pick a tool (distro) that let’s you accomplish that.

Awesome! Glad it worked out

No you can always recover, uninstall it and reinstall later if you need it.

Looks like you could just mv /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals/gnome.portal /home/<your-profile> and remove the associated env variable. This way you don’t mess with your packages. I’d start with the wiki linked in this thread.
