Went back in time and changed things repeatedly = explains Trump.

Don’t worry, I went through all the pics and failed at naming most of them. I also realized, I didn’t care.

You don’t? huh

Didn’t they invent drive-thru’s, takeout and DoorDash for people with kids? Ta-da!

Love those! Here in the US, most would rather raw rag it. I don’t get it.

Did yours give you options? huh.

True, it is the nature of fediverse and the like. I keep waiting for the for-profit proprietary options to collapse, the gov’ts impose draconian measures making it so heinous for users that they seek out decentralized options.

Peertube open source and most importantly decentralized.

LOL, did they? It wouldn’t surprise me. I remember there was some internal in-fighting going down, someone got accused of stealing funds, buying a personal laptop. Drama aside, it is a dangerous Arch derivative that is highly promoted, especially for newbies. Sad.

I NEVER recommend Manjaro. They hold back packages for “security/stability” reasons which is antithetical to Arch’s structure. This can cause stability issues (happened to me) and even breaking your system.

I would recommend Arch, EndeavourOS or Garuda (awesome KDE gaming ed,) and a lot of peeps like CachyOS, mostly for their customized kernels/CPU optimizations. You can get CachyOS kernels inside of Garuda as well.

VPN (always) and QBittorent. After starting your VPN, go into the Preferences > advanced settings> Optional IP to bind to > pull down the menu and find your current VPN’s IP address and select it. Protected, even if your VPN goes down. You can add torrent search engines to QBittorent under the Search feature.

Sounds like you are new to linux? I always recommend newbies start out with Ubuntu or Linux Mint. Ubuntu has a good installer with scripts that detect hardware, particularly older or fringe (wifi, etc) hardware. Is it the best? Not in my opinion, but you want your laptop to work and educate yourself on linux in the beginning. Once you are a moderate to advance user, switch to Arch, it is the best imo.

I use CalyxOS so completely degoogled because everything passes through microG. I have the following;

• Phone (CalyxOS)
• Quik (texting)
• Fennec (Firefox w security)
• Thunderbird
• Google Pixel Camera app, firewalled, and any services go through microG

Agree. To its credit, it made the transition smooth.

Agree!

Sadly, Ubuntu. I quickly moved on to debian…and ultimately landed with Arch, my true love for many years. I use Arch, btw.

It is the censoring, from the top down. That is like a wall that will hit anyone in no time.

When they say ‘piracy’ does he think they are referring to Captain Jack Sparrow?

Copyrights for good or bad, do protect the little guy. I am sure these mega corps would love to blast their lawsuits out to the little guys and bury them. He is a bad faith actor.
