Maybe I'm missing something, but what is the damage in this screenshot?

High background resource usage.

Ah, the light blue between the 2 lines is background usage? I wouldn't know, I use Arch btw :3

Thanks for asking. I'm using Debian and didn't know either. :p

I too have used arch btw. Currently using pop (deb) tho. I hop around from time to time.

Stop distro shaming.

how do you manage your system setup?

btw, moving from arch to pop is strange, you're supposed to go Gentoo or NixOS or LFS...

Nix was my next plan lol. My last distro suddenly had some file system corruption problems mid week when I needed it, so I had to switch to something quick without much time for configuration. So I decided to go for a preconfigured distro.

My next plan is Nix when I have some time.

As for how I back stuff up for frequent distro hopping: Firefox login syncs my browser stuff and passwords, steam syncs my game save files, I backup my home folder to a USB once in a while so I don't lose any local documents. I have private GitHub repos for some window manager, bar, etc configs I've made like sway, i3, polybar, awesomewm, etc., that I use when switching to more barebones distros.
