Welcome! 196 (you are here) and Privacy are the main reasons I come to lemmy. Some hidden gems I enjoy are Creepy Wikipedia and Desire Paths

Littetally. I found it fishy that Brave suspiciously scored so well. Half of those browsers are just modified Chromium anyway including Brave, and Brave has made some suspicious marketing decisions which is why I dont really trust them. If you're curious look into their history involving crypto and advertising.

The only good ones I'd recomend are Librewolf, Mullvad Browser, and Tor. They're really the only ones that even try to combat fingerprinting.

I still don't see Mozilla as a bad actor, especially in comparison with the villany that is google and microsoft. It's still a great alternative for privacy newbies and average users, although I personally made the switch to librewolf (desktop) and iceraven (mobile) a while ago. Both being forks of firefox, development for actual firefox is essential for either of these to survive, so Mozilla still has my support albeit indirectly

One area of The Talos Principle is set in Greco-Roman ruins. It captues a very specific tone. The puzzles are fun too

I also enjoy dualsense and there is definitely quality there, but I could not get it to work with a handfull of emulators on linux for some reason. I'm sure there could be some tinkering to do to get it working but I've just been using xbox series for plug n play

Not generic, but I've been using Xbox Series controllers with LMDE. They were plug n play and work flawlessly out of the box. I've used them with both bluetooth and wired and have had no problems with emulation and steam. You'd probably save more buying a used xbox controller for about $30-$50 than trial and error with cheaper off-brand gamepads

Texas brisket was honestly a close second for me. It's so good when it's done right.

I totally agree on the West coast pick. San Diego and Tijuana have some of the best mexican food anywhere, and it greatly outshines the other food in the area

I had it somewhat like this in NYC, and the cheese curds are definitely a game changer. I believe it was made with russet crinkle fries though. Potato wedges are a great idea

I'll have to try this one! It vaguely reminds me of a dish I tried in Arizona called a Sonoran hot dog. Basically a piece of bread stuffed with a bacon wrapped hot dog and an insane amount of toppings and sauces/salsas

Can second this strategy. I still dual boot W10 and LMDE, but every day I find myself booting Windows less and less. All I really use it for is Roblox and Playnite, and Playnite isn't even necessary because I've been getting more and more used to Pegasus on Linux.

You just gotta get comfy with a bit of program migration, for example I used to use programs like Word, Brave browser, and Playnite, and learned LibreOffice, Librewolf, and Pegasus one at a time until I didn't need the often worse Windows version.

It's unofficial, but you can play it via browser at shin.itch.io/elden-ring-gb, or download it and play via emulator

Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap for GBA is my all time favorite from the series. It was made late in the gameboy development cycle, and feels miles ahead of other gba titles. Imo it's the pinnacle of 2d Zelda.

Another great title is Fire Emblem. It's not the first one, but a lot of them can be played out of order, and it's tons of fun if you like turn based strategy.

Other mentions: Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen, Pokemon Yellow/Blue, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Legend of Zelda Oracle of Seasons/Ages, Link's Awakening, Fire Emblem Sacred Stones, Final Fight One, and the Elden Ring demake
