Directory of projection characteristics [on hold]

I am reading on StackExchange about creating buffers around points, lines, and polygons, using QGIS. Over and over, I read advice to convert data to a projection that uses meters (or feet, or whatever else the questioner is seeking to measure in).

This leaves me still needing information:

  1. How can I tell what units any particular projection will use to buffer? I do not see it in either Layer Properties nor in Project Properties.
  2. Is there a resource online or in a book that describes many projections and tells what units each projection will use for buffering? That is, how do I find a projection that has the desired units of measure?
