That's a joke...I remember downloading opensuse, there was a warning that forbids me to use if I was in a country targeted by the USA something like that 😆 IMO, If you really want independance dont use things from corporations. Many people complains about overstaffing in administrations, so why not have them work on a distro from scratch ?

You can make KDE looking like Mac OS with a bit of tweakings. The advantage is the possibilty to change your setup without replacing your DE.

Since I was tired of distro hopping I just use MX Linux.

I tried too many distros.

I never encountered bugs, but I don't use multiple monitors.

I3/Sway seems to be popular, but I was disapointed when I tried them. I prefer Bspwm because windows are always spawned with a good height/width ratio. Computers are useful because of the automation capability, so it make no sense to use a WM without any automation.

Use Vivarium instead, it works and it is very featured !

Reddit is unified, Lemmy has a small layer of complexity on top and "sh.itjust.works" is a weird name, maybe the Lemmy system drives to such complicated names. Its not a big deal but I add that to the other causes.

Look at the reddit called "unixporn" and search for Xfce. You ll see what's possible with Xfce. For me the KDE crashes are a dealbreaker. My Xfce setup is so simplified, that nothing can be ugly. I use Bspwm for the windows and stripped down Xfce panel (dont touch third party status bars, such as polybar, its waste of time if you already have Xfce). No menu such as Whisker menu, but Rofi instead. I got Xfce stability without the old looking.

After tried Alpine, NixOS, Archlinux...finally Im on MX linux because this is a no brain distro and I'm tired to search how to make things to work.

You can also use a light browser such as Qutebrowser.

If you are in sciences, and happy to learn a new PL, I think you ll enjoy functional programming, even if it is not the most popular way. https://ocaml.org/docs/is-ocaml-gui-yet

The website looks cool.

There is nothing better than Xfce, if you dont like the desktop, at least Xfce allows you to customize. KDE seems interesting, but the last time i tried it, 10 years ago more or less, it was a bit buggy.

I prefer a glibc replacement.

Have you tried Mac OS ? It is probably more polished than distros and less enshittified than Windows.

IMHO distros share the same apps. The defaults can differ, the implementations too but the user can install apps that are on other distros.

I m not experienced but this video shows a way to use pass.

It is that software. https://www.passwordstore.org/ I still backup in an external dd but there are ways to store them online, like a git repository as instance.
