Oh, nice!

Yeah; it’s pretty great. It lacks the excel functions, but if you know some python that is a total non-issue.

I appreciate your mentioning the downside. I am way too much of a tinkerer for a read-only root to be acceptable for me, but I’m glad you found something you like.

Probably the main benefit would be funding Mozilla, so we aren’t all total serfs in Google’s fiefdom

True, but the outlay of cost for the hardware was higher than the value of Bitcoin you would receive.

bitcoin mining hasn’t been profitable for a long time. Like, a decade or so.

Local python uses ~/.local/bin, so in the interest of avoiding conflict, it is probably better to use ~/bin.

This is not that big of a deal most of the time, since you are the only person interacting with your computer, but it’s worth remembering when you decide to recycle or donate – you have to securely wipe in that case. Also bear in mind, if you do encrypt your drive, there are now more possibilities for total data loss.

Oh, fun fact: you can change a users windows password inside Linux. Comes in handy for recovery, ie, user forgot their password.

It’s a professional-grade graphic design software.

Ubuntu – the one with the Nelson Mandela video and the picture of people holding hands in a circle.

Firefox doesn’t suck imho

Look up ffupdate on GitHub. The latest vanilla Firefox on any Linux with just 1 command (after it’s been configured)

Still using Firefox. They mean well. Wish I could say the same of chrome.

Lol; I’ve done this too. Thankfully not to anything important.

Lxqt, with pcmanfm’s desktop ability turned off. I use the terminal for my file management anyway

I usually have several terminal tabs and web browser tabs open plus a tmux session. Neovim for coding and writing, feh and mpv for viewing media, mpd, supysonic, and minidlna for streaming and playing music.

S tier: kdeconnect, m.a.l.p., VLC, firefox, bitwarden, Simon tatham’s potable puzzle pack, farebot

A tier: maxima on android, ankidroid

An immutable distro would be a good choice. They are distros designed to be more resilient against failure. For a gamer, bazzite is a solid choice; otherwise, silverblue.

Check out gold warden – I will install it also. It’s a general improvement on the official bitwarden desktop application.

That’s not true though. A browser running in a Linux desktop shows ads just like any other OS, and ad blocker browser extensions are platform agnostic.

That looks super frustrating.
