  • GMO isn't bad. Everything is genetically modified.

    Patented foods already exist. Have for years.

    Monsanto has corn plants that don't grow at a consistent height if you try to replant the seeds, making them profit by getting you to buy more seeds next year.

    We already have seedless plants, bananas.

  • Yeah, you look at how there are a handful of package managers, and hundreds of distros, they're pretty much all the "same"

    But yes gentoo and NixOS do things the most differently. But even on those you can game on them.

    I mostly want to discourage distro hopping with the belief that they're missing out on a program or desktop, only to end up on windows because they're tired of reinstalling everything.

  • One important thing you need to know about distros: they're all the same under the hood.

    You can have any desktop you want on any distro. But some customizations are redone in some distros. In terms of programs you want to run, they pretty much all work on any distro. If a distro is "better for gaming" it usually just means the programs are pre-installed.

    People talk about arch and Debian as the best because they have the least customizations, allowing you to install and customize as you wish.

    Linux users are mostly tinkerers, they like their customizations their way. I'm in that boat. The less I have to remove to get my customization working, the better. Just give me a black screen and a white blinking cursor, I know how to do the rest from there.

  • A used laptop with a fresh battery, SSD, and RAM would be the best performance-per-dollar setup, but I agree chromebooks are very cheap of you just want a simple web browser.

    If you want to go with a chromebook, I repair chromebooks for my job. I recommend the HP 11 G8/G9 model. They're light, cheap, perform just as good as any other chromebook, and they're easy to repair.

  • If you look up "how to make a bookmark" for example, you might find the tutorial for the right browser you're using, or you might find one for chrome/firefox/edge, or you might find a tutorial on a real bookmark.

    Narrowing your search to the specific program you're using will get you better results. "how to adjust mouse sensitivity in Linux" will not get you good results. Look up "... In Linux mint" or in your chosen desktop environment. You'll get much better results.

  • I wouldn't use the browser extension of bitwarden. It is safer to have it as an external program hidden from your desktop. I now know that you use bitwarden, and can plan a attack around it. Browser integration can be exploited if there's ever a bug with the browser itself.
