I personally don’t like LTS Linux distros because Linux is always changing, and unlike Windows, overwhelming for better. Plus security patches are not always backported because the threat severity of fixed bugs isn’t always properly categorized. I don’t like the following LTS distros: Ubuntu/Mint, Debian, Leap. I also don’t like distros which don’t have good defaults in respect to security hardening. Fedora and openSUSE are my ideal distros.
For example, I recently installed Mint for an older family member and it has been alright. X.Org kinda sucks and she has encountered buggy behavior with apps crashing or desktop freezing. I personally used the desktop I gave them with openSUSE Tumbleweed and encountered no such issues. I just went with Mint, against my best judgment because it is so widely recommended.
Since GNOME and KDE Plasma have first-class Wayland support, I basically only recommend those two DEs. I personally like the look of GTK4 apps more than Qt, and GNOME apps over KDE, but the freedom of KDE Plasma is superior.
The distros I recommend are as follows:
General Use: Criteria: general purpose, SELinux, modern technologies (Pipewire, Wayland, close to upstream kernel)
Gaming: Criteria: gaming focus, baby easy install process, modern version of Mesa and kernel, first class Nvidia support

Sorry to say, but game anticheats can also run whenever like the malware they are.


I cant even. My friend, who has one, looks just like that.


I even play a game that doesnt have native modding support and I just run the community mod patcher .bat using wine, and then the game run like normal through Steam with 80+ mods. Its crazy the shit you can get away with by using Wine and Proton.
Forking isnt a solution, unless you are committed to patching all future security vulnerabilities and adding feature updates on you own. Cryptography is complicated, designing a secure messenger is very complicated. Forking isnt a magic bullet.


Firefox is even more insecure as a Flatpak than Chromium. At least with Chromium using zypak it can use some Flatpak sandboxing (which is still inferior to base)


Project was abandoned like multiple years ago now. Cromite is a fork by one of the contributors and is better than Bromite ever was.


Doesnt come with proper fingerprinting protections or flag hardening. I am not saying ungoogled Chromium is bad, just not a proper replacement for hardened chromium browsers like Cromite or Brave. Ungoogled Chromium is a drop in replacement for Chrome, so it does nearly everything possible to stick with defaults (sans any google connections)


While I agree it would be nice, Flatpak weakens the Chromium sandbox by stopping proper per site isolation. Chromium in Flatpak relies on the zypak server in place of proper strict isolation.


GOS recommends against putting any app that you want notifications from inside the private space. That said, I did the same thing.


Full KVM in Docker but doesnt require a Windows license.


You could enable advanced mode I uBlock and then disable “3rd party” in the uBlock popup. Then allow list the few sites you want to see content from.

It is source available, not open source.


I think mineclonia is more accurate for Redstone.
Mullvad has many methods of obscuring the fact that you are sending VPN traffic, specifically designed to fight VPN censorship and firewalls.
