We are talking for the normies here. And it is becoming more and more difficult to block ads and trackers even for moderately savvy person.

One way to look at this is that if you buy a bike, you should have at least basic understanding of its work and repair process. If you run a car, you should know the traffic rules. Similar in internet world, but only not explicitly implied.

Ignorant people should not be taken advantage of. But this is more like a principle than application. Currently, the internet is like a wild wild west. The more techy you are, more you can save your mental health. It is just the lack of awareness in people that make companies take advantage of them. IMO, Tech-literacy is a necessity, just like traffic rules or basic life support.

I can understand. Be honest and sincere to yourself. This is the only pro tip I keep forever.

Reading this thread I am even more confused about Linux in general.

I hope GDPR covers the HP's practice in coming days in Europe. Others might follow.

If a private company has to succeed, it has to offer things ** that normies want.** FB/G is shit because this is what normies consume - the ego-display, the dopamine kick. In every enshittification of a service, there is a history of it being cravingly indulged by the mass. Now when the companies started rising up and used their monopoly, they (the normies) are realizing they have been shit-eating for a long time. One may argue the companies were not so in the beginning, but that would be a very myopic view.

Spiral, yes I had a glance on it. It seemed the Gecko of Debian, as expected. I did not find it too different than sparky, so I did not embrace it well. Not planning to see again for now either. If I get a chance to try a new distro, I'd install Void or NixOS. For now I am happy with Arch or ubuntu family.

Source of the info?

My fav obscure distros are: 1. Sparky Linux, Debian based simple stable system. It has many flavours with a lot of desktops to choose from. Also has stable and semi-roling iso. Now I never installed Debian itself, so can't compare sparky with Debian. But it is very much better than any other distro I used. I don't know why it is not popular. 2. Reborn OS. I used to love it when running. Arch based lovely project. This is the very much successor of Antergos.

Manjaro is great. I keep on coming back to it time to time.

Or 8. 8.1, actually.

....you would have to install plugins and make it your own.

Reminds me of gnome.

Thanks, I will search. But I still want to know about my question.

I want to run win 10 (or 11 if supports) on a VM with a GNU/Linux host. I have heard about ltsc and ltsb, and now this post has mentioned oo shutup 10. So which one is better to make my win machine lightweight and privacy friendly? I am planning to run only certain specific program like SPSS. No heavy gaming. Thanks.

Ungoogled pure CrDroid on some 2018 mobile. Running Firefox as main browser.

And why are we supposed to know the armpit of some country?

What is Alabama?

Thank you for your response. No. Things have not changed, it was always like that. My perspective has.
