The lore changes in Villeneuve's Dune movies are catastrophic, and do irreparable damage to the characters, peoples, and all future storylines. I watched Dune part 1, and mostly enjoyed it, as the lore changes are relatively minor in PT 1, until I realized I was watching Hollywood subversion, because they made all the bad guys White, or even Albino White, and made all the good guys non-white. I refused to watch part 2, and everything I've heard about it has been horrible.
If you want a faithful Dune adaptation, the closest is the SciFi miniseries.
No. They're absolutely not. Not including the spacing guild breaks the stories very foundation. The other changes are also not minor. They may be not as egregious as making Chani a stereotypical girlboss cunt but they also break innumerable aspects of the story.

Absolutely. But even Dune 1984 (especially the fan cut) is miles better than Villeneuve's rape of the Dune source material.
What were the big lore breaking changes in part 1? It's not that I don't believe you, but I don't remember there being lore or character shattering changes in part 1 (relatively speaking), other than the insertion of diversity propaganda, which I mentioned in the above comment. They also changed Liet Kynes to a black woman, when that character was supposed to be a stand in for the author, a White guy. Leaving out the spacing guild in part 1 is fine, as I don't recall them making an appearance in the first book until the latter half, which I attribute as another lore breaking of the part 2 movie.
I saw Godzilla minus 1 and Dune 2. The last movie I saw in theatres prior to dune 2 was infinity wars final. Movies are dead.

They made all the good guys black for a reason.
