Oh ya, forgot about that site founded by the Tampa Bay Times, definitely a top tier source when it comes to geopolitics. Especially on topic's with zero grey area. /s

Touché, you're right for sure. I should have stayed with saying most and not said all. But that's where my head was at least.

I'd argue for a basic use case most distro's would work well, right? All come with a browser, a PDF reader, and some word doc/spreadsheet program. I truly hate using windows at school, so I just plug in a USB, restart, and boot from the USB. Otherwise Firefox always needs updating, which results in freezing 1/10 times, and I need to make an adobe account to simply read a PDF.

Nobara could be a great choice for your setup. It's a version of Fedora, made by a very well respected Fedora team member, setup with gaming in mind. It comes with many of the drivers you'd have to download using most other distros. Being Fedora based means you can tinker with anything you wanted to change. I recommend the KDE spin, KDE is known as the swiss army knife of environments. It's super intuitive too. I'm actually in a bit of an emulator phase right now, I have had zero issues using KDE Fedora while figuring it all out!

I'm curious how it compares to Standard Notes. Have you tried both by chance?

Maybe if they're all super efficient solar electric vehicles like Aptera's going forward, there's a slightly better chance. But unfortunately even that's still quite a long shot.

True, guess the silver lining of the planet becoming uninhabitable is we were at least generally heading in the right direction to be able to prevent it from occurring...

Not my job /s

Honesty, I totally agree, it's not what you say but how you say it. This could have been more fine tuned 100%.

Political options today only seem to revolve around who's less of a risk. Regardless, possible/likely counterproductie moves seems to be the better option vs bat shit crazy moves from the get unfortunately...

I truly have never said this before in my life, but you obviously need better game. If asking for a number is off the table, then you're already friendzoned...

I use a few of these and I have no issues with internet speed. I can stream HD video while uploading large files no problem. So I'd bet you'd be just fine, probably won't even notice unless it's faster. But I wasn't aware of hBlock, I'll have to look into it.

WHAT?!? That's pretty wild, not even sure what to make of it lol

Thats a child in a hospital bed and the link is still working on my end, but sorry for the inconvenience

This is the way, it's easy and at times even contagious!

Being an accident would be news to me. Since it sources Bing for results, you'd think Microsofts trackers would be a focal point of their privacy approach. Sleeping on trackers known to be present isn't a good look either way.

There's proof they allowed Microsoft to use trackers though...I dig DDG as they were one of the first functional alternative search engines to Google with an emphasis on privacy, yet there are much better options today. I'm going to have to peep kagi based on this thread, but I'll need to be strongly convinced to switch from SearXNG.

Or worse, some are truth tellers with a platform...

Start using an encrypted DNS server! I'm a big fan of NextDNS, quad9 is solid in my book too. Above this, the next step would be to start using a degoogled mobile OS along with FOSS apps. Its a marathon, so making changes slowly but consistently is the best way to approach it 100%.

It's going to be dependant on the VPN, but some definitely allow for you to choose a DNS server. Depending on your OS, you can just setup all traffic to be routed through a specified DNS server too. This is one aspect of Fedora I really dig.

Right! I saw Anton Petrov already released a video on the topic too, if you dig this then I highly recommend checking his YT channel to watch him break it all down.
