/e/OS is based on LineageOS with microG. They did make a choice for Magic Earth as maps app which is not open source. For "normies" /e/OS seems a fine choice to me to De-Google.

Did you do a sha256sum or md5sum checksum after downloading the iso file and after copying it to the Ventoy pendrive ? (Linux uses caching for copying. Taking the pendrive out before your system has done a "safe remove" can cause problems)

Indeed. GoboLinux is neat last time I tried it. Although it's not clear to me how active its development is.

👍 Interesting idea.

Honest question: Why?

You missed the StackExchange and AI story this week ?

Take a look at the fog server project.

Thanks. https://fogproject.org

After not touching my desktop for several months, I now see that I absolutely hate Windows even more.

Welcome to the club :-)

Currently, I’m a student in Mathematics and Computer Science.

In that case I would certainly toy (but maybe not daily drive) with Nix or NixOS. Its concept is stunning. For daily driving Linux it depends on your hardware (x86 or arm). Debian is rock solid as daily driver on x86. If you need some newer software you can use Flatpak or the Nix package manager, or use distrobox or toolbox though beware of its drawbacks. Another good choice is Arch Linux. Since a while the install iso comes with an installer so that you no longer have to read documentation. The Arch Linux wiki is very often a superb source of information. But depending on your hardware there's Asahi Linux : https://asahilinux.org

To get some more Linux good vibes watch and listen to the BDFL /j

 

Debian or Arch or Ubuntu never ask for my confirmation ?

Example :

Please consult the Bureau of Industry and Security web page www.bis.doc.gov before exporting items subject to the EAR. It is your responsibility to obtain any necessary export approvals.

 

Solution :

  • :set
  • In this list of options find the entry with the default DDG and change it
  • :save

The reason I had trouble starting to find the solution is because qutebrowser is not using a configuration file by default (from version 1.0 or something onward) and I got lost in the qutebrowser help which has countless entries. Thanks to the Arch Linux wiki I figured out more.

Today in a Privacy community a post about YouTube. No word about privacy but all about which software or settings are needed to watch videos and the money needed to host videos. It made me wonder whether some of you can lead a meaningful life without YouTube. Or will a cold turkey bring the worst out of you ?
