idk about it

ironfox is forked from it tho

use a phone with linux or a degoogled android distro

linux or degoogled android distros

the pinephone has such kill switches

• iphone (thats still big tech tho)
• pixel/motorola with grapheneos (privacy/security focused libre android distro)
• other android distros like lineageos or /e/os (private libre android distros) or replicant (fully libre gnu approved android fork)
• linux phone (non-android linux distros such as postmarketos, ubuntu touch, mobian, fedora phone, arch arm, etc)

based

wtf??? doesnt make it any less extreme privacy violation

for 1: record it yourself consciously (if youre not comfortable with that then why are you comfortable with Google doing it)

for 2: there are other solutions, law enforcement isnt an excuse to violate privacy at all, the government is one of the major things we want privacy against

or Linux phones

brave is not a good privacy choice (it has repeatedly shown that it is not to be trusted, it squeezes money out of you, and is run by a homophobic cryptobro (who is also the creator of javascript)

on android, use firefox or ironfox; on desktop, use librewolf

ban them

do not allow for-profit advertising, and do not allow spam

spam is already against rule 2

debian is not that up to date, so it might cause problems for gaming

neither are ubuntu-based debian-based distros (mint, pop_os)

debian cycle is 2 years, ubuntu cycle is 6 months

opensuse tumbleweed is similar to debian but is very up to date (and less unstable than other rolling release distros), it updates packages in the repo every 6 hours i think

good to know

yeah you should

you should definitely try it out and see if you like it; try various distros and desktops

the distros id recommend are fedora (simply good), opensuse tubleweed (versatile and unobtrusive), cachyos (designed for gaming), bazzite (fedora-based steamOS clone, designed for gaming), or mint (very easy), and the de id recommend is kde plasma

can keep windows on a separate drive to boot for the games that dont work (and in case u want to switch back)

but if ur pirating, those wont be kernel anticheat games, which are the main offenders

why?

it’s cinnamon, linux mint’s gnome fork

looks similar to kde tho (because u can make kde look like pretty much anything)

the mountain logo in top left is the cinnamon logo

looks pretty cool

app bar on side suits the look well

wallpaper looks cool (i personally wouldnt use something so contrasting)

why brave browser tho

ultramonetized homophobic cryptobro vpn ad browser that injects affiliate links

no way to get the file path of a file or directory

image album view for folders is what the kdes Gwenview image viewer does

i came from macos and i think finder is barely usable dogshit

nah dolphin is peak

one of kdes best apps

nah theyve talked about their design

like the new WIP Ocean theme

there is deep thought
