Maybe EndeavourOS (a convenient installer for Arch) with a desktop that supports Wayland.
I run that with Gnome in Wayland mode on my desktop and with Sway (Wayland equivalent of i3) on my laptop and I've been very happy with that. You could also run KDE if you prefer
They gotta pay for that spaceship in The Expanse somehow!
Why do so few apps (besides browsers) seem to support it? E.g. Win10 photo viewer and seemingly all my messaging apps
The format itself sounds good, and I see it everywhere online, but is there some reason it's unsupported?
I use DNS66 downloaded from F-Droid. It registers itself as a VPN, but it's actually a DNS filter, not a VPN. It works to filter ads on most apps, and you can individually disable it for specific apps if needed.
I also use the Firefox app, which supports a few add-ons (much less than the desktop version), including uBlock and some similar options
I'd recommend one or both. They're working great for me on a non-rooted Pixel 4a 5G

Federation and an open source code base should prevent one team's dumb decisions from being able to wreck a whole platform, like reddit, twitter, digg, and others before
Is this 2008 YouTube I see before me? That's a throwback
As the de facto IT guy for my family, I block ads on all their computers just as a basic safety measure.
I can usually spot a fake download button and avoid scammy sites, but my parents and grandparents seem magnetically attracted to them
Fair point. I watch a lot of YT and block ads (though it sounds like they're finally cracking down on that). I support some creators on Nebula and Patreon, but I guess YT Premium is basically like those.
Yeah, good point. The others are mainly hosting text and some images
Speaking of, got any good peertube channels? Tbh, I'm more familiar with nebula and floatplane - where YT creators made their own platform. Maybe that's where things are headed
I use Joplin and sync the notes between devices (including Android) with Syncthing. There's lots of other options for syncing, but I already had Syncthing set up and liked it
Check out Ondsel. They're working on improving FreeCAD and making the workflow not suck.
Still definitely a work in progress, but the dimension/constraint tools and 3D feature naming are already lightyears better in their version.
