Hm, only screenshots? By the way, this pales in comparison to what Google collects by default on every Android device. It's really crazy. Have you seen the details of what they collect? Google literally logs every touch, along with the names of buttons and apps. You can turn this off in your Google account settings on Android, but most people don't realize what's being collected or how to turn it off.

iOS & Android should not hide admin/root access from users (device owners). The same was as desktop systems (Windows/macOS/Linux) never hide it. This will allow users to use their own encryption (LUKS,dm-crypt, AES, VeraCrypt and so on) to store application data.

This is for WSL2, not for WSL1. WSL2 is just a VM, not a big deal it it's open-sourced. WSL1 is superior to WSL2 in every way. BTW, WSL2 is not a continuation of WSL1, they are being developed in parallel. I still try to use WSL1 whenever possible. For Linux specific features, like systemd dependancy and mounting file systems, I'd use full-featured VM instead of WSL2.

They screwed it up as much as possible and abandoned the P2P protocol and are now shutting it down. The behavior is like a little kid who broke a toy, it stopped working and he throws it away.

I use NixOS and Flatpak (Nix-Flatpak) to install software that is not available in Nixpkgs. Unlike Arch's AUR, Nixpkgs has fewer popular packages. However, Nixpkgs beats AUR in terms of quantity because many Nixpkgs packages are redundant.

Because it is software-based access control, it is impossible to guarantee that access really has been disabled. Thanks to Apple's design, we now live in a world where users are not supposed to detach batteries or physically turn off microphones and cameras; it's all software-controlled. The problem is that software can be hacked and have backdoors. Also, thanks to Apple's smart design, users can no longer upgrade the memory sticks on their Mac Minis and MacBooks. Why do I say it is all Apple's fault? Unfortunately, other manufacturers copy these design ideas...

Can I ask who even clicks on these Google ads?

I click when I want to support the author. I don’t care what I click on, I just click on a few.

I agree. However, some dishonest services allow to download, but downloaded file is DRM. It is even worse.

• Setup new user to sudo

I hope it is not a passwordless sudo, it is basically the same as root.

Good. However, 2 x 16TB Seagate HDDs still cheaper, isn't it?

They are good distros for beginners. But over time some people switch to Arch-based systems or NixOS. Because of HUGE software list that you can install without much hassle, you don't have to add 3-rd party repositories or PPAs or figure out how to install .tar.gz package in your system or how to compile from source. You just type one command to install something hard to obtain in other distros.
