N.E.P.T.R

Ubuntu Touch is still a Linux distro. I was referring to how Linux-like the experience is.

Not really a Linux distro. Based on Gentoo but not really a Linux distro, just like Android.

Zorin is too walled off IMO. Too many features locked in Pro version.

Fedora KDE edition or OpenSUSE Tumbleweed/Slowroll. Otherwise could try Aurora.

I avoid Ubuntu base because it is slow to update packages, and the inclusion of Snap packages are a no from me.

WEAK. WASTE 17HRS AND UNCOUNTABLE AMOUNTS OF DATA BY FUCKING AROUND. 40 BILLION SUCH CASES!

Idk if it is related but I found that my LCD monitor dims through the GNOME setting, but just not my OLED.

Using either ProtonUp-qt or ProtonPlus you can install newer/alternative Proton versions, including one optimized for Star Citizen

It is faster, optimization is one of the uutils project’s stated goals.

Np, I Iove Linux (lol) so I’m glad to share.

Bazzite is good. Gaming focused. I had a friend jump ship from Windows and it was the only one that worked right away with their nvidia GPU.

It being fedora atomic based means you can rollback an unsuccessful update from the grub menu during boot up.

I highly recommend openSUSE Tumbleweed (or Slowroll). It is a rock-solid rolling-release where most things can be done from the YaST GUI. The installer is very granular, you can pick and choose based on groups of programs (like internet, office, desktop environment, etc) or individual packages (in advanced mode).

It has never broke on me and I have used it on and off for several years now. I like to tinker so I often do reinstalls of other distros when I break them but never needed to with Tumbleweed.

It is modern but not unfamiliar, rolling but not unstable, granular but not overwhelming (imho).

If rolling-release isn’t your thing there is also openSUSE Slowroll which does updates monthly (apart from security updates which are back ported)

Even if you don’t pick Tumbleweed, there are plenty of good options. Rapid fire I’ll recommend some others.

• Fedora Workstation: my next favorite distros for many of the same reasons as Tumbleweed, semi-rolling and major updates every 6 months, but no YaST or granular installer. It uses GNOME desktop environment.

• Fedora Atomic: pretty much Fedora Workstation but more stable because the root filesystem is read-only and updates are pushed as an OCI image. You can still install anything supported by Fedora.

• Universal Blue: Modified versions of Fedora Atomic which aim to be much more user-friendly and preconfigured out of the box. I recommend them over Fedora Atomic vanilla images. Bazzite is my recommendation for any gamer on Linux (though most distros work).

If you want to have a good experience on Linux, avoid perpetually out of date distros like Debian/Ubuntu and their derivatives. Linux game support is always improving, same thing with basically everything, so dont kneecap yourself with slow/stable release distros.

I recommend Notesnook. It is open source, cross platform, and cloud synchronized E2E encrypted. I know cloud based wasn’t something you wanted especially, but I thought it was worth mentioning because it is encrypted.

I personally like flatpak and its build system. Flatpak applications are sandboxed by default and don’t require root during any part of installation, reducing the risk of malicious/broken software damaging the host. They also are available for basically any base distro, meaning i can use the same apps if a ever distrohop and i can even just copy over the config folders as if nothing happened.

It wont be a problem because from the Live USB you can mount the encrypted drive in the file explorer app (Dolphin on KDE) after supplying the encryption password.

To a slightly lesser extent, Id also suggest avoiding noscript for the same reason. uBlock Origin can do everything that NoScript can and NoScript contributes as a metric to create your overall fingerprint. If need strong protection against fingerprinting, use Mullvad or Tor Browser. Use Librewolf if you need to customize, or want to change the defaults.

No, because the Mozilla’s new policy doesnt apply to forks.

The fingerprint protections in Librewolf already protect against canvas fingerprinting. You actually make ourself stand out even mkre by using it. Even with RFP disable, ETP still protects against canvas fingerprinting.

The ones I liked the most was Kusal and Lessac.
