I use eternity chase its Foss and easily available in the fdroid store

Microsoft is already done same with google I have like one niche product that I have not found a place outside of lime a singular stellar on Amazon to buy from

As someone that does not use a google account I disagree

I replaced most of that with proton mail and grapheme is which ironically requires a pixel

Get time shift set up so you have restore points if needed

I miss the days I only needed 2 tb

Personally I prefer jellyfins interface. Plus its easy for my bon tech familyyto use jellyfin

personally i prefer mint, in large part because i love the cinnamon desktop and mint seems more stable than pop os in my experience. (and if you have nvidia gpus i know pop os can have it pre installed but getting it installed in mint is the click of a few buttons)

Edit to add: See what desktop environments you like, than find a distro that ships with that environment, that will tend to lead to great levels of stability for you.

you use a system like mint and it is as easy if not easier to use that windows and the local application search bar actually works decently and doesnt bring up a bunch of useless fucking web results.

Hell, i personally run into MORE issues on windows than linux which is why in 2020 when proton became pretty big news i made the final switch and have not looked back. I use windows in my work laptop cause work makes me, other than that i dont touch windows based systems and i live with more stability running mint.

Hard disagree. I use mint as my daily driver and gaming PC and run into less issues as a whole than if I was running windows
