Manjaro, I get it. But Mint is excellent if you want a stable Ubuntu experience without Ubuntu Pro ads in the fucking terminal and a slow as shit proprietary package manager, integrated right into your system package manager.
He’s talking about Putin I think.
Not sure really since I don’t have an Nvidia card. Pop! OS and Nobara are just general recommendations I found on the internet.
Though if you have an Nvidia card you should install Pop! OS or Nobara Linux since they have an Nvidia ISO so you won’t need to struggle with installing them later on.
Probably Linux Mint (https://linuxmint.com) will be the best experience for you. If you have newer hardware or you’re not sure scroll down to the bottom on the download page and download the “EDGE” iso since it has newer software than the default versions and more hardware support. If you have older hardware, you can probably install the Cinnamon iso too but if that doesn’t work install the XFCE iso. Finally flash it onto a USB drive with https://etcher.io/ and boot into it, testing if some things work like audio and video. Software like VSCode etc. are already on the software manager so you won’t have much trouble with writing JS.
Windows + D minimizes all applications and goes to desktop.
You can just use RiMusic, it’s a pretty good YouTube Music frontend. And I think there was BeatBump if you want a web based alternative.
DDG is just a Bing frontend. Using SearXNG is mostly better since you can get results from multiple sources.
Microsoft Store lets you download some browsers last I checked. You can also use winget
which is also preinstalled in Windows.
I use LibreWolf on Debian and just got the update. It doesn’t take that much time.
Microsoft Store already has browsers like Firefox.
It’s a web app, you don’t really need a native application for it.
I started using Piped to get around this. I recommend you do too. Maybe a DNS ad blocker could also work.
If yoı don’t have much Linux experience, probably Ubuntu or Nobara. You don’t need to use the terminal just as much in these distros.
Yeah, that makes sense. Sorry about that.
uBlock blocks most trackers already. Also using Fingerprinting protection via another extension or if you’re on Firefox on its settings, they probably won’t get much data on you with ads.
Shut down your phone completely before sleeping. Airplane mode might work also but I’m not really sure.
Try running uname -r to see if your kernel version is below 5.17. This card only got support after that version.
