How is it compared to DDG?

I am gonna simplify it. This contains a lot of generalisation.

A distro or distribution is like Windows or macOS. When you want to install applications you mainly look for applications (they are generally called packages in linux) that are built for these distros. Major ones are Debian (Ubuntu comes under this), Fedora and Arch. Here the Debian/Ubuntu is the most user friendly with lots of guides and forums to help you get going. Most applications that has a Linux version will support Ubuntu. Major advantage of Debian is that, its stable. Because of this, core files that a system needs to run will be thoroughly tested and will not break. If you are testing the waters, you should go with distributions like Debian 12, Ubuntu 24 or 22.

Okay, coming to Desktop Environments, for now you only need to know about two, KDE, & Gnome. They are the GUI that you interact with. They come with basic GUI applications like a file manager, Terminal Emulators, etc. If you like window 10 style, you can go with KDE and Gnome is a little different, but its the default option in Ubuntu I think. You can install any DEs on any distributions but may require some know how. So DEs are for basic utility and Look and Feel.

Major DEs are almost safe.

Go to flathub and check the permission of the application that you want to install. Normally they won’t have access to root directory, but could access your home dir. If they had any malicious intent, they could mess with your personal files.
I think there is another application that can restrict the permission scope on flathub itself.

Sad day indeed, bitwarden going shady and this.

I think it has to install vscode extensions, which is sad.

Seems like it was on a diet of arch forums.

Synching maybe?

Are you sure that it is indeed using piped or proxy instead of googlevideo.com?

Hey what is the advantage of quadlets over normal podman-compose?

Does gesture navigation work flawlessly with lawnchair? All of custom launchers have weird animations when getting out of recent apps window.

Porkbun vs namecheap. Which is the better one?

If you can stretch to a 13 incher (no pun intended), LG gram might be your best bet. Around 965 gram weight, reasonably priced, can run Linux without any problem.

They probably use some toughened laptop running windows like this one.

If you are the creator, the dark mode is kind of not pleasing, have white text fields.
