I love the KDE plasma theme Underworld. It’s definitely black and pairs well with a ton of stuff. I like Breeze Dark as the global theme, Ball10050’s Black color, and Underworld for the plasma style. This makes it all primarily black.

I trust the DivestOS team while I have no clue who runs Cromite. Plus, Bromite being abandoned made me look into other options, which makes me trust Divest to keep Mulch running longer than the Cromite team I guess.

Mulch is a mobile chromium browser made by DivestOS (same folks who make Mull). Maybe worth checking out over Cromite.

Be sure to include Nobara and Bazzite, both of which are gaming focused distros. Both are Fedora based, but Bazzite is known more as a SteamOS 3 clone. There’s also another gaming focused distro, it just escapes my mind. But I love Fedora KDE as is and then just installing the required software. So I’d say add Fedora, Nobara, and Bazzite for sure!

I’d say I’m one (1) eldritch scientist + Sat[censored]art

KDE is the way! I’ve heard KDE called the swiss army knife of DE’s, and I couldn’t agree more! I’d be curious to see a comparison of Gnome and KDE users previous OS. I’d bet KDE has more windows converts and gnome favors mac, but I really don’t hear about many mac folks switching to linux.

That’s odd, it seems fine on my end. But here’s another instance link: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=4sfIBRTcRpU

I’d recommend https://privatebin.info, https://toptal.com/developers/hastebin, or https://rentry.co. All are open source and awesome replacement options. PrivateBin is a software package you download, while the other two are webapps.

That’ll make it so you’re not bothered by banners anymore, so I’d say yes. I activate everything listed and then import others filters from filterlists.com. Here’s a link which will let you add the Easylist Cookie Lists: https://filterlists.com/lists/easylist-cookie-list

I’d recommended adding EFF’s Cookie Block List, which you can find here: https://filterlists.com/lists/eff-cookie-blocklist

uBlock doesn’t block cookies directly but it can be setup to block the domains associated with cookies. Adding the EasyList Cookie will accomplish this. It will prevent websites from setting cookies when you visit them. As far as essential cookies go, I’d assume the Easylist blocks cookies which won’t affect the websites function.

The fuck!? I’m already late for work, I don’t have time to Finish Him, or anyone! I got to get to the office!!

It’s 100% a feature! Truly a horrendous approach to lock down a device someone purchased to the extent seen on Windows.

Linux can’t prevent you from permanently removing files. While in Windows it’s a chore to remove a number of files/bloat, which are then most often back after a system update.

I went with Petlibro for the feeder and fountain, they’ve worked well for me.

I bought my cat an auto feeder and a filtered water fountain. Definitely quite pricey, but it’s amazing not getting woken up by meows to feed her each morning. Plus, it keeps her on a consistent schedule and seems like she drinks much more water with the filtered fountain too.

Arnold H. Glasow basically covered this indirectly when he said “the fewer the facts, the stronger the opinion.”

You can pick what search engines are sourced, which is fanatic, and it’s fully anonymous. My preferred instance is disroot’s (https://search.disroot.org) as they are a super trustworthy nonprofit in my book.

Aegis is the move, my favourite option for sure!

CryptPad is my go to, there’s many different instances where you can make an account. Fully encrypted and allows for doc sharing plus working with others on the doc at the same time. Offline can be accomplished by ensuring you downloaded the file, and then uploading the updated doc once back online. It’s the bee’s knee’s! https://cryptpad.fr/

I believe Joplin still doesn’t have a web app unfortunately. StandardNotes does and it could help here too. I’d think just making a new note for each entry will time and date it, but any editing of the note would change the time stamp.
