This is really just a power-grab move. There already is "Let's Encrypt" - try going to a website that isn't https. You'll know right away that you might have typed a web address wrong.

I prefer Firefox and AdNauseum. I like seeing how the false ad clicks add up over time.

I have always believed that the majority of the world's problems stem from almost all of the world's countries rely on a private bank to print and regulate their money. Those banks aren't capitalistic, but I bet the people behind them are the richest in the world.

Mullvad from the AUR, it's great.

I use Jellyfin - music, shows, movies... it's open-source and has a lot of features Plex doesn't including, not having to create an account. It's your's to do what you want.

I really wish Steam would put their foot down and stop these launchers. They are nothing but a nuisance and add no value for the customer.

EDIT: Just to be clear, when EA Play joined Gamepass there wasn't a separate launcher when you went to play an EA game on the Xbox. Steam could make this work with them and the other companies. They have enough pull to make this work - it would be greatly welcomed.

I'd try Debian or if you're feeling adventurous, EndeavourOS.

At this point, the only way I see a game being native is with it being an AppImage or equivalent. The resources to keep up a Windows flavor along a native port would be wasteful. The only thing I would like to see is companies stop using launchers and kernel based anti-cheat systems.

If you're on a phone, try Newpipe. If it is AndroidTV, there's only one - SmartTube.

@matcherock, It appears to use microG and some other security focused tools preloaded.

There are user friendly options if you're willing to use them. There's /e/ foundation's Murena phone that you can buy. It's based on LineageOS for microG with a custom launcher much like iOS. It works out of the box, no tinkering. There's also GrapheneOS that has a web interface for installation. It is only for Google Pixel phones and takes a different approach to privacy than LineageOS for microG. They both work in protecting your privacy. As far as computer OSes, there are many "easy to use" options for the novice - PopOS & Linux Mint are the best two that come to mind.
