Still based on Ubuntu and conceived by Canonical, but give it a spin, that's part of the fun to try things out, break them, try the next toy :)

Just found out this agrees with my opinion on all the distributions:

In case you want to do the usual distro hop in the future, just because there are so many jummy flavours

I would have chosen Debian with KDE Plasma (or with Cinnamon if you prefer that) but... close enough :)

Welcome to the herd!

There was a negative vote; care to explain?

Yes, it's true uMatrix isn't in dev anymore and supposedly stuff has been incorporated to uBlock but I still feel more at home with uMatrix and it's much more convenient to use and much stricter.

You're welcome. I made a last-minute edit to complete the list.

Yup, solid advices.

I would add disabling recommendations for Add-Ons and Themes and clearing the initial default bookmarks.

Of course you can pimp it out like setting config properties to enable experimental stuff like Wayland, WebRender, hardware decoding, etc. pp. before they get enabled by default in later releases.

Add-Ons I have installed are:

• uBlock Origin
• uMatrix (sadly deprecated)
• Privacy Badger, shows/blocks trackers that made it through uBlock/uMatrix (which are not many if at all)
• Decentraleyes, which caches libraries from CDNs so you don't connect to these central servers again, disclosing your usage pattern
• Cookie AutoDelete, mostly optional but clears cookies while browser is running and not only on close
• DarkReader, so bright pages go dark
• Sidebery, for organizing tabs (I miss true tab groups in Firefox, but only a bit)

The old Opera versions using the Presto engine were truly amazing. Now they're just a Chromium skin, just like Vivaldi, Brave and others, adding more and more crap like crypto wallets and other shady stuff.

Back then they were important to keep the web's standards high and corporations in check and compatible to each other. Big props to the original Opera.

Firefox it is and was for over a decade and more. Add uBlock Origin, uMatrix and some smaller stuff and the web suddenly becomes accessible.

"This shouldn't be necessary, but in case you got this wrong, ..."

I chuckled more than I would like to admit about that spelled out USB name, dunno, it's funny

Welcome to ISO 8601

Wube Factorio - sunk so many hours into this, fun, explorable and longlasting gameplay

Egosoft X4 Foundations - needs no words I think? Otherwise look it up, it's just too much going on in this game, amazing!

Arch wiki is really really great, a big thank you to all its contributors.

I use Debian btw. 🍻

Install with GOG a single time. Be able to archieve old versions in case gameplay changes.

wine ./bin/x64/Cyberpunk2077.exe

Done.

Seriously, I know none of them, not a single one. Maybe they are made up?

A snowflake with eight branches... *sobs

Cool project, though
