We are comparing chatGPT and Deepseek.

You asked "which countries".

not an opinion everyone agrees on.

Only people who don't have their heads buried in the sand. You can't possibly believe China is not much much worse than the US. I literally don't believe you. You're a bot or a paid actor.

All of them?

Mullvad seems to have figured it out

Being that they still treat Linux as a second class citizen, I'm guessing they just don't care.

Not sure how that would work. IMEI is how the carrier knows who you are and grants you network access.

I am trying to keep my device IMEI information private

By replacing it with another not-private one? For what purpose?

There are tons of Firefox forks there?

It's default for Zorin as well now

Fake money

The closest thing to SteamOS is ChimeraOS. Though it sounds like you're mostly referring to Plasma, which is the desktop environment (DE) AKA the graphical user interface (GUI), and can be installed with just about any distro. ChimeraOS looks like it only comes with GNOME, which I personally prefer anyway.

It is very friendly until you need to do something other than very basic things, at which point you'd better be prepared to become very familiar with the terminal.

Bazzite is the new hotness though, and it's what I use, because it comes with a variety of customizations out of the box, and the ujust commands can greatly simplify a lot of common tasks that are otherwise far more complicated. Only downside of that is that it mostly only supports flatpaks and appimages, .deb and .rpm are the most common package formats and those have to be installed in containers, which comes with all the fun complications of containerization and sandboxing.

You might give GNOME a try though if you want to play around with something different. I much prefer it from an aesthetic perspective. Plasma is essentially made to look like Windows and GNOME more resembles MacOS.

Be aware that when using these distros that some games will recognize your device as a Steam Deck and apply some fucked up graphics tweaks that severely limit performance. You can undo them with a simple launch argument but it's super frustrating until you figure that out. Protondb is your friend there.

Photon let's you apply your favorite Piped or Invidious instance system-wide. Pretty fucking cool.

That's pretty much how it works.

I bought one because it was cheap (presumably because ads) but I never connected it to the web.

I won't be surprised if they remove all video inputs in the near future.

I muted the entire Flipboard instance. They were just annoying. If I need any of those, I use RSS.

AP is supposed to be interactive but I'm pretty sure none of them are looking at those. And the ones that are already have accounts so these are just redundant anyway.

It's insane to me that a tech outlet can write an entire article like this with no mention of software updates.

If you want Arch there is ChimeraOS

Nothing

free speech can't include speech infringing on other people's dignity

Actually, that's exactly what free speech is for. Nobody needs free speech to tell their neighbor their hair looks nice today.

What do you think censorship is, exactly?

you can do this with any pc

Not with SteamOS you can't

There's absolutely a difference.
