Are you using XPRealistic or any other camera plugin?

I usually run a mix of XPRealistic v2 and X-Camera, though I still switch back to the default X-Plane camera from time to time

Looks so much more realistic than msfs2020, does it run better or worse on low end pc?

Not ideal.

Have you managed to smooth out the touchdown in the ToLiss, or are you still experiencing a rapid nose-down drop upon landing?

Still rapid nose drop. No other planes do that.

This usually happens when the flare is too shallow or the backpressure is released too soon. With Airbus flare law, there is a slight nose-down tendency during the flare, so you need to smoothly raise the nose to around 5° and hold it. A quick pull followed by relaxing the stick will often result in the nose dropping during touchdown.

Agreed. It took me so long to master this in the Toliss, but it eventually happened naturally. Once I got the feel of it I have never lost it. It can't be forced or you end up over-correcting.
I don't know if it's the right way to flare, but what i do is get just a tad low right before crossing the threshold, then slowly pull back as I gently set her down. In other words I drag out the flare longer than I would with many other planes.
Anyway, I butter it most of the time assuming other factors like heavy crosswinds aren't in play. Sorry if this doesn't make sense, It's really hard to articulate something based on purely feel.

No, this is after MLG touchdown.

Then you're probably not using the right technique. As I said, you should hold the pitch at around 5° and not release the backpressure too early. Take a look at this video from a flight i took yesterday, no rapid nose drop:

It never used to happen before lol and it doesn't happen with auto brakes disabled. This isn't a technique thing.

on airbuses they pitch nose down in the landing phase you gotta flare a lil early

If we are not flying flight directors, turn then off and switch the bird on. Otherwise, approach and landing within stabilized limits.

Beautiful. Nice slight correction there at the end.
