But Google is the market leader and has the same practices, why are you only asking for MS to be punished? Google is just as shady.

I was surprised to find that gaming on linux just works. Valve has done a wonderful job in improving proton.

That will never happen, a browser is probably the best telemetry source you can possibly have. Microsoft wouldn't dream to give that up.

I feel like I'd break Gentoo really fast, to be honest

Unless you heavily depend on Adobe or a very niche proprietary software you'll be fine. Install something user friendly like Linux Mint or Ubuntu and you'll be fine. If you stick to these distros, Linux is going to be really really easy.

If they're equally bad, who cares?

Thanks a lot for the tip, I'll give it a try after work! :D

It's pamac!

Immutable distributions and/or NixOS is definitely something I have considered. Mostly as a learning experience, maybe NixOS is something that could be really useful for work. As an everyday desktop experience, I'm not sure it's the right fit... Maybe I'll replace the Arch Linux on my Macbook Pro. I barely use it anyway, something not rolling definitely makes a lot more sense.

I'm glad this post that felt like spam actually ended helping someone

I too have been in the Mechanical Keyboard rabbit hole. I ended up with the Happy Hacking Keyboard 2. Such a joy to type! :D

I've seen this link going around quite frequently: https://github.com/arindas/manjarno

I always use pacman or yay to install stuff anyway, I won´t miss the Add/Remove GUI!

I was under the impression that fella was a gender neutral adjective to describe people with the same interests or group. TIL.

Thanks for your thoughts!

kde+wayland is working really good here

That's nice to read. Do you also have 2 monitors? I have this issue where a screen starts to flickr randomly, apparently it's related to multiple monitors.

friends

Better?

Check the readme to see all the flags you can use!

Yep, I have been using it and it works great. I had to use the --disableAutogain true arguments, my SO talking in the background would spike the mic input levels but after using the flags I had zero issues.

In Portugal, pretty much everyone has access to this functionality. I think the functionality is amazing, I use it very often. The fact the cards only work once and have a spending limit really gives me a sense of security.

Revolut also has this functionality, I use it for purchases in foreign currency.

Never heard of privacy.com, I'm already set with the services that provide this functionality. I can't say if the service is good or not, but the practice of creating virtual credit cards is invaluable.
