Yeah, like a month ago my YT recommendations were dry, plus and I wanted to delete all my search history and turn it off, but I couldn't do that without clearing my watch history too. So I did that and the algorithm was fixed!

The only problem was that it recommended videos I already watched.

Use a different email client. I use Samsung Email, but that's (of course) only on Samsung.

A good FOSS client would be FairEmail though.

Remember kids, if buying is owning, piracy still isn't stealing. You can make infinite copies of digital media.

Based on current calculations they predict a 50% chance that in a merged galaxy, the Solar System will be swept out three times farther from the galactic core than its current distance. They also predict a 12% chance that the Solar System will be ejected from the new galaxy sometime during the collision. Such an event would have no adverse effect on the system and the chances of any sort of disturbance to the Sun or planets themselves may be remote.

I once heard some YouTuber say Windows uses \ in path names instead of / like everyone else because Microsoft thinks backwards.

Winget, the M$ Store and the other PM I forgot the name of (not choco) exists. But it should one day completely replace .exe installers, they aren't even practical nor secure! There is no moderation like in an app store.

Everything you listed would be solved if Linux was as mainstream as Windows.

For me, I don't use Nvidia, WiFi works, old HP printer works, just need to install a package, a 1-year old Canon printer works out of the box on Ubuntu, but on Arch I need to extract the stuff from the driver .deb and place into the it into the right directories. Audio and microphone works flawlessly. This is the case on ASUS ZenBook, an underpowered ASUS Vivobook or something and a 2012 iMac, though on that one I need a modification to /etc/default/grub to be able to control the brightness.

No, Mac is tilted Windows, and Linux is open Windows.
