He couldn't lay the pipe so he stood it up

Default Firefox is becoming more and more unusable. I hope distros will start switching to something like Librewolf as the default browser in the future or heavily (and visibly) change the default Firefox config themselves.

I wouldn't see a reason to use Session over SimpleX

I'm not sure if that helps you, but there are plenty of search focused launchers for android that let you add keywords as tags to apps as well like KISS Launcher and Kvaesitso

As long as your apt sources (/etc/apt/sources.list) are set to bullseye (and not eg. stable) you won't "accidentally" upgrade to bookworm. At least that's how it works in Debian, I assume raspbian is the same.

Thanks for the info, as a long-time Nova Launcher user, I was not aware. Good thing I didn't give it any internet access.

It is rare that you would want to run an entire GUI program as root, and if it is needed, the program should prompt you for it. Do you have a specific use case where you need to do that regularly?

No one wants to log in to look at twitter posts either

So they want more control over what people are able to install

While both Mint and Zorin are good "beginner" distros, they might not be the best choice for gaming. Since your primary use seems to be gaming and you're on an nvidia GPU, you may also want to have a look at distros, that make it easier to set them up for that. So apart from Pop_OS you could also look at Nobara Linux or Bazzite. Not to confuse you with even more options, but it's good to know what's out there and try some stuff out to see what works.

Idk, I'd assume if I just delete the credit card and they can't charge it, they'll just keep sending me bills with increasingly insane late fees, effectively putting me in huge debt over time

If there's any decent alternative to Google Cast, I'd love to know because I've never found one. You can use Kodi to receive links to Youtube videos and play them, and spotify hast their own built-in casting, but for everything else I've got nothing.
