you might have to set a different --prefix during the ./configure stage if you don't want to install it as root, but other than that, i think this is it. please read the INSTALL file and also the output of ./configure --help

unless i'm missing something, any distro will do. i'd personally go with debian, but that's my choice. opensuse is also an excellent choice if you want easy to use config tools
If DOS is like Windows the system clock ticks local time, but usually Linux likes UTC time
that's entirely configurable
if the snap package is anything like the flatpak, i wouldn't recommend it. the sandboxing gets in the way of a lot of stuff, including compilation, lsp, etc. it was a pain last time i tried it, unfortunately
i use debian, so i had to do this:
apt build-dep emacs
i assume pop os to be debian-based, so that'll work for you too. this ensures every dependency is available beforehand so you don't get to a scenario where emacs builds successfully, but something basic like gtk support is missing
then you clone emacs and then ./configure && make && make install. i use it for work everyday and it works pretty well
"less" right wing is still right wing
i've been made aware of how miserable living in a red state is. but being not as rabidly misogynistic and racist as republicans doesn't make the dems "not right wing". implementing better domestic policies doesn't either. at the end of the day, both parties represent the interests of corporations, will implement austerity measures that widen your already massive wealth gap, and will make sure the us-american empire keeps the rest of the planet in a stranglehold
edit: as for you saying i'm ignoring reality, again, i'm aware republicans are worse for you, but i need you usians to truly grasp the reality that, unlike most other democracies, your two major parties are right-wing and ultimately uphold the same project. any right-wing politician for europe or latin america would feel at home in the democratic party
democrats are enthusiastic supporters of US imperialism and neoliberalism. they're right wing. end of story
the only difference between republicans and democrats is that they sell US imperialism to different portions of the population. republicans are more honest about their intentions, but if there were only republicans, that would risk massive revolts from the more progressive-leaning portion of the population. this is why the democratic party exists: it allows the us govt to sell the same underlying project with a different face that's more appealing to the average progressive voter
edit: to really drive my point home ask yourself: what is the official stance of the democratic party regarding free and public healthcare, free and public education (including higher education), progressive taxation, public transportation, labor legislation (especially regarding maternity leave), etc? not what some more left-leaning factions of the party say, i mean the actual official party stance. because these are absolutely uncontroversial among the left-leaning parties worldwide
it's just an os, you're not better just bc you memorized a bunch of terminal commands and willingly subjected yourself to a poorer user experience
if you don't give a fuck about user freedom and just want to use a unix os, then fuck off to any bsd out there and stfu
yes and that sucked. i'm glad we're not like that anymore
what is it with linux nerds not understanding that you can have configurability without it being mandatory? i'm not saying the terminal shouldn't exist, just that i shouldn't have to use it
every time you need to open a terminal for some basic system operation is a defeat for the system
(i get that this is not a very common operation, but still)
it's not just that this is not for me. i genuinely don't see the point of a terminal-only editor (even vim has a gui version) without any extensibility. the reason vim and emacs are still being used despite being old and full of cruft is that their extensibility makes them very adaptable. treesitter et al seem enough now, but what about ten years from now?
it's also weird their motivation for being terminal-only is better performance, as if guis are this super resource intensive thing and not something that's been mainstream for at least 30 years

it is absolutely recommended to keep any system that has access to the internet up to date. i don't know why people keep saying it isn't
