Bazzite (fedora based) is actually more like steamOS than Arch is like steamOS, as both Bazzite and steamOS are immutable. I love Bazzite/Aurora/Bluefin because they have the option to include Nvidia drivers preconfigured out of the box. There have been some improvements in KDE for NVIDIA recently, so maybe check it out. One quick question, why is dealing with packages a pro point for Ubuntu?

I’m currently on a atomic distro, so how I get my software from favorite to least favorite is this:

1. Flatpak
2. Appimage
3. Fedora distrobox
4. rpm-ostree

Sadly only for US and UK, or am I missing something?

The main problem with Manjaro is they hold updates to the repos back for to weeks, which in itself isn’t a problem but they don’t do the same for the AUR, meaning you’re almost guaranteed to have dependencie issues at some point. And a, very minor, issue is that in the past they have broken their forum site, but that hasn’t happened for a while now.

MacOS collects a large amount of data compared to Linux (although not even close to windows). Take a look at their tosdr page and this

A VM doesn’t change the underlying OS collecting data from you

If your main focus is privacy I suggest Librewolf. It is one of the best for privacy, but it suffers from some performance issues. There is also Firedragon which has better performance, but is Linux only. Personally I use Firefox and Brave and then tweak them for optimal privacy (check out Betterfox), but I would only recommend that if you are willing to make a lot of tweaks to the browser and keep up to date with the additions they make so you can disable stuff like PPA. I also recommend following the development of Zen, it looks like a good option so far but I’m personally waiting until it is officially stable

Safari Limits adblockers heavily, it has a bunch of extensions missing that are available for Firefox, it only works on apple devices, it doesn’t have a lot of the anti fingerprinting features that Firefox supports and is a proprietary application made by a company that earns money from advertising. I don’t think Safari is a realistic option for privacy if you find Firefox to invasive

Don’t forget automatically killing orphans

Aurora is a beautiful place to live in and I love it

You just have to add „All hail Tux“ to the end of every comment and it should go away in 2-3 business days

I don’t think anyone uses immutable distros for security, the main selling point I believe is that you can rollback when the system breaks due to a update, especially when it’s a rolling release

Picture one but in a Japanese/anime style. Wait a second

Falkon just uses Chromiums web engine and strips everything else, they don’t use Manifest V3 as they have their own extension system (although that isn’t really mature). It comes with a built in adblocker that works fine for browsing, but youtube ads can’t be blocked. I recommend Falkon for web browsing, but I wouldn’t use it if all you want to do is watch youtube I would use a browser that supports h264ify. For browsers that do use chromiums web extension api there is a version of h264ify, which you will need for hardware acceleration.

Also if you use Firefox make sure to use h264ify for hardware acceleration on YouTube

Some tips:

1. Rasberry pi OS is the lightest OS on pi
2. Use Falkon as a browser, it’s much lighter
3. Use mpv (or celluloid for simplicity) to watch YouTube videos and something like ytfzf (tui) or plasmatube (gui) for browsing YouTube

Also gnome is a desktop environment not a distro

The problem with web apps is that even if the messenger is perfectly secure your web browser/webview provider might not be. Like with windows recall, even if you have the most secure messenger it doesn’t matter if an underlying function scans your info. This doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be the option for a webapp, but it shouldn’t be the default.

Valid solution, but I miss unified updates with appimages and such

No
