Oh, so it’s all about consent? Huh.

Play store is a shitshow. It’s so hard to spot the few actual gems in the absolute avalanche of ad-ridden asset flip time wasters that have the only goal of harvesting your data or running a monero miner in the background. The chances are better with paid games, but even then it’s hit-or-miss.
I gave up on mobile gaming long ago.

probably the best option given your distro. Go with that.
I never learned how that happened. We suspected that someone might have sneakily applied them during production or before delivery, as the trains were brand-new.
I doubt they were “official” stickers 😉
When the Munich public transport introduced new trains around 20 years ago some of them had porn images stuck to the inside of legs of some of the benches. You can be sure that teenage boys find them.
The numbers quickly dwindled but it took the company years until they had them all removed.
Ain’t that the truth. But I love the workflow they offer. You don’t have to go looking for new windows. You can easily pin applications to virtual desktops and I prefer the multihead model they use over the one used by gnome or KDE.

Completely agree. Ran Arch for about 10 years and had like three breakages that were all my fault (didn’t read news before a manual intervention. Once the battery died). But every time I could fix that by booting the current live image. No data loss.
It’s comparatively easy to not break things if you’re like ten years behind. 😉 But sure, Debian takes pride in its stability. I just like having recent versions of everything.
I mean, if you like knowing what your machine is doing, Arch is one of the best options.
Accidentally flashed a live image (PCBSD, IIRC) onto my 1TB external HDD instead of the thumb drive. Lost years of collected music and movies that night. I learned two things:
dd
is nicknamed ‘disk destroyer’ for good reason.You can either try to contact the seller and ask for the password or just erase the UEFI settings by shorting some jumper or something. There should be instructions how to do that for your specific model.
Yarr harr fiddle de-dee…
But I have to fight the stupid OS to give me useful information. I have to install 3^(rd) party stuff. By default you only get this useless error reporting tool. Even if you report an error your likely to never hear from anyone and the chance of the error being fixed is virtually nonexistent.
On Linux the necessary information is usually readily available. The worst offender in my experience is Steam itself. You can get logs from games fairy easily. But if Steam misbehaves things can get more complicated.
This might work.
If you’re ready to take a bit of a dive, take a look at NixOS. As a CI/CD guy it might be right up your alley.
It allows you to configure your entire system via a single, declarative config file, including any configurations for installed software. You could even develop the config in a VM and, once you’re happy with it, use the same for to configure your host machine.
Be warned, though: the wiki is nowhere near as good as the Arch wiki.
They made a knot around the needle…
Yea, people mostly equate email to an electronic letter, but it’s more like an electronic postcard. Anyone handling it can simply read it.
So you’ll want encryption, too. So either you get everyone to use PGP/GPG or get them to use a privacy-by-default provider.
Good luck with the first option and I’m not sure how interoperable the various providers are, so in the worst case you’d have to rally everyone to the same provider.
