I am still dual booting because some games I play just don't work properly but other than that I am doing everything I can on Linux.

Yeah always look for where a service gets its money from before you get anything.

Always have a offside backup for any data you deeply care about it's never worth he risk.

There are ways to send all of your internet traffic over tor. For example tails os does it by default.

And tor is definitely more secure than a vpn. Any VPN company can just log all your internet traffic and sell it if they want to. Compared to tor you will need to gain access to at least 2 nodes that the internet traffic goes through in order to get any mildly useful information, that is significantly harder than with a VPN.

Also I just wanna say arguments like these are so fun to read

I want to talk to people online but reddit is too yucky. Lemmy has a better community than reddit and it's not for proffit open source decentralized and all the other things that I love.

how do you change swappiness?

In my experience open source has been getting really intuitive ui, at least for more basic apps like messages, that are just as good or better than proprietary equivalents. It's not like apps like apps like matrix aren't being used because they look bad because a lot of the clients look and feel really good.

Oh wait could you use this for setting up a LAN gaming session or making a gaming server without port forward? That would be sick!

If this is nsfw then I wonder what the australian tac ads count as. (Literally showing people getting hit buy cars and flung up into the air to there death)

Yeah OK, so stick with dumb cars for now. Or take public transport and ride your bike because cars just suck in general!

I have used brave search which was really good I really liked the ai search although i moved away from it after seeing how bad google ai search was (saying things like its a good idea to eat rocks due to not being able to recognise satire) and I managed to get brave to do the same thing with a different onion article so i dont really trust any ai search now. At the moment I use searx it's incredibly private especially if you are willing to self host (I am not) and you have so much customisation you can use any search index so you don't have to worry about bad results.

Qwant also seams really good although I haven't tried it, same with ecosia especially if you like planting trees although I use an ad blocker so that doesn't work for me.

Imo there are so many great free browsers it's not really worth paying for a browser.

I also don't recommend duck duck since it used to have a tracking deal with Microsoft. It doesn't have it anymore but I think it's enough to lose faith in it.

Wow freecad looks really good. Might finally change from fusion 360.
