have you tried the builtin "winget" as alternative to chocolatey?

check out "conversations" its free on f-fdroid and paid in the play store (although from time to time its free there, also)

thank you! more up-to-date packages sound good to me, will have to check out mint, then.

how would you compare Mint to MX Linux? Whats the biggest difference in your opinion?

When selecting a distro to mess around with, i just checked distrowatch to find the most popular distro and chose that (MX). My reasoning was that the resources like wiki/tutorials/forum posts would be most easily available with a more "popular" distro.

You dont need to disable secure boot, you just need to enroll the ventoy keys: https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_secure.html

Sponsor Block (+ the already existing uBlock origin) for an ad-free YouTube.

Currently using the fennec build Firefox with those add-ons and have since ditched the YouTube app. Works great so far as an ad-free/native alternative to apps like revanced or newpipe

I'm not sure how piped will be able to handle all the traffic when it gets more popular.

As far as I understand it - piped proxies the traffic between youtube and yourself.

And libretube uses piped in the backend. So all traffic has to go through the piped servers. Not sure if they will be able to scale this up...

reviewmeta tries to do this with Amazon reviews

Alternatively: Firefox for Android + uBlock origin addon works well for me.

Unfortunately, there's no Sponsor Block addon for Firefox Android.

Can you also please elaborate on what full-upgrade does?

Please stay here!

Switching power supplies ("bricks") are generally more efficient than linear power supplies because they lose less energy as heat. that's were the difference comes from. (Of course they have drawbacks as well, like increased noise)

Yeah but if the OLED screen has to display black (RGB 000), it turns off the diodes completely. But as you said, most dark modes have a dark grey background which doesn't do shit (jerboa has a black option btw)

For oleds, it makes a difference and not an insignificant number of smartphones today use OLED screens.

However, if the microwatt-hour of battery saved by browsing a shitty website of a shitty company for a few minutes saves the planet is another story...

Serves you right for having such a beautiful country
