    1. Grab Ubuntu - super easy for new Linux users.
    2. install next to windows. Don’t replace it.

    Just get a feel and poke around.

    The moment one of those Linux users see that I said Ubuntu they’re going to froth at the mouth and lose their entire minds. It’s like their identity is tied to only using the most obscure, unpopular nonsense.

    It’s easy enough - and the Snap store (app) is good enough for what you’d need. Its not the best in some situations, but if you’re not doing anything crazy and you just want to search web or whatever without all the surveillance and copilot slop being forced onto you - it’s a good start.

    It’s a learning curve, but it’s not bad. I use Libre Office instead of MS Office now. Shortcuts and interface still fucks with me after growing up with MS Office products.

    I dual boot Linux and windows on both my machines. When I game - I boot up windows. When I do anything else, I boot up Linux.







  • DoH is not as private as you think, that’s just how big tech positioned it.

    DoH encrypts DNS queries between your browser and the DNS resolver, it does not hide your browsing activity from the DoH provider itself.

    Google, cloudflare or any other 3rd party orgs still see your data.

    I have an open source firewall on gitlab if you wanna take a look. Blocks some IPs - I know it’s not much but fuck Palantir - I made it so their site won’t load.

    Blocks 50+ stalkerware apps as well as data broker trackers.

    I want to go back to it so you can wire in through my VPS and build it as a mobile app to block Gemini and Apple Intelligence from scraping your photos and texts and everything to train their models.
