I find the bot very useful when I’m on a device without Newspipe or whatever like an IPhone. I know it’s piped bot, but could it also provide a invidious link as sometimes I run into a speed/bug problem with piped (probably because web view sucks, if I open a link in a proper browser the bugs are gone)
-Privacy friendly sites (no google, ddg/searxng and stuff)
-VPN (Proton is private with a free tier, Mullvad for maximum privacy)
-Fingerprint blocking in browser (Brave has it too standard, put it on aggressive)
The repo shows all the patches. It uses some patches from ungoogled chromium for privacy. It isn’t my recommendation here, I just mentioned it because Brave didn’t work for OP
Thorium is good for privacy and speed but not security, Vivaldi isn’t that private, ungoogled chromium removes everything google. Brave also has packages available for manual installation if you want to give it another try
I think the question is made badly. For most distros it comes down to personal preference. You could make a best and worst for each category. For example beginner friendliness: best Mint worst LFS. Distros like Ubuntu with weird stuff going on can still be best for you if it otherwise covers your needs. The worst distro overall is probably some random, no longer supported distro without active repos. The overall best I find is EndeavorOS. It has a good combination of user friendliness and advanced stuff.
No not really. Gnome for me is about 2.5 gigs of Ram, XFCE 700 megabytes and the CPU load also is way lower. XFCE can be heavy or light depending on how you configure it
It’s not about undoing. It means you can do things like edit something, change something else and then change the original change and then have the second change change accordingly to the change of the first change. This is something most professional or semiprofessional photoshop users I know need which GIMP doesn’t offer, that’s one of the main reasons people use photopea
Yes but no. Relearning a program is one thing but the biggest problem with GIMP is: no non destructive editing. In the professional field GIMP is basically out of the question because of that
Use what distro you like, but most distros are very easy to install (some even easier than Ubuntu I would argue). KDE Neon would be a good starting point in that regard. What exactly is hard to understand about Plasma? I have heard this sometimes now but I really don’t get it, I find it to be very easy to understand as it integrates for example theming
It should work on Mint as well, but the theming may be off you will probably have to redo Icons and such.
Just FYI, XFCE can totally look like Gnome (look at rhino Linux) if you theme it. You may consider installing the SaveDesktop app and redoing your XFCE setup (the unixporn community has some great inspiration)
