Debian is never a bad choice. Put some flatpaks there, backport some goodies, and install some kind of AnyDesk system. Put some KDE Plasma and they'll think Windows finally runs well again.
Nope, MacOS would be too different for them to handle. Linux Mint, or something with KDE Plasma would be way better IMO.
Oh, wow, that dude in the thread is proud in his ignorance.
Unless you really need some big GPU thingie... Laptops are too good nowadays.
No, laptop functions have not been offloaded to phones. Phones have simply taken time from real life interactions 😅
I could understand that some distros' kernel had binary blobs, but the main kernel?? I was not expecting that if it's true.
This is premium functionality, for those who don't know.
With Piped you are watching videos through the Piped server, which is the one calling YouTube. So Google knows the server is watching but it does not know it's you. A proxy, they call it.
The benefit is clearly that your views get mixed with many other people's and tracking individually is way more difficult.
Also, you get to have subs, playlists... All synced with your Piped account.
Workaround, get some mewing hardware and √ 🤫
I'm in the process of trying to make some old phones work on Linux mobile and truly check what is the state of things there (considering they have been reverse-engineered to work there, not ideal).
Just like I am not a fan of Firefox derivatives, I am not a fan of modified ISOs for Windows.
This is because all the effort put on trust on a big company/community is now gone; now you must trust some unknown random dev.
Install official Windows and apply trusted tools to clean it up. Or better yet, install Linux. That's my general advice.
In terms of the software compatibility, even if you dual boot Windows, always ask for Linux-compatible software.
Not for over-the-internet use
