Welcome to the light side. I'm a happy Tumbleweed user for many years now. Love that Hitchhiker's guide reference .

Of course it doesn't. It's just a convenient smoke screen. Education and parental oversight are the key.

🤢 . That's not an application. It's just a bloated way a displaying a webpage. If you truly want to make a desktop application use something like QT.

Some random scripts off the web is a big 🚩.

I'm using filen.io. E2ee and zero knowledge service from Germany. Their desktop client just works.

I only use LibreWolf on my pc's and IronFox or Vanadium on my phone. All except Vanadium have uBlock Origin with all social media blocked. I also use Mullvad vpn with social media blocking at dns level. In addition where vpn is not configured I use Mullvad's dns with all content blocking enabled. Of course no Meta or another social media apps on my Graphene OS phone (except Mastodon and Lemmy). As a cherry on top I use a Linux based OS (OpenSuse Tumbleweed) on my computers primarily (some Windows usage for some gaming).

Curious choice to write a c++ program for this instead of doing the same thing in a powershell script.

One feature it should have: delete itself after running to leave no traces of such a tool.

Here's a good list: https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/home/USB_WiFi_Adapters_that_are_supported_with_Linux_in-kernel_drivers.md

This research isn't peer reviewed so I wouldn't take it at face value just yet.

In two of my previous jobs (I'm a software engineer) I could officially install any Linux distro to the company laptop (which I did of course) fully replacing the wintoys. Could use the machine as I liked, no corporate mandated BS spyware or anything. On of the provides a SaaS product and used Linux server/virtual machines. Otherwise it was mostly MS bits + sprinkle a little Atlanssian horrors to it.

Unfortunately in my current job I'm limited a VirtualBox Linux running a corporate restricted wintoys machine in a MS environment. A long for the days when I was more productive with my Linux installation.

It's just sad and funny how corporate world is that MS products it has to be (because reasons).

Are these available on f-droid already?
