Well, my ISP doesn’t need to know anything about my posts. And the fediverse doesn’t need to know who I am beyond “growingentropy,” so…

Did you just do the “if you don’t have anything to hide, what’s the big deal” move?

I want privacy. That’s all.

No idea. I installed a VPN on my router to get privacy. That’s all I ask.

I have a router with a VPN. I’m not disabling that just to post on lemmy.world.

I got off lemmy.world because they block VPN connections. Not happening, under any circumstances. I don’t trust anyone that much.

I don’t miss anything from Reddit, I’m just sad that some of the homogeneity of thought came over here to Lemmy.

The last paragraph is vital. Grab a flatpak of any software you need to be more up to date. Flatpaks running on Debian are amazing. Current software running on a stable base.

Two choices in the end game.

Ready to go out of the box? Mint.

Bare install where you pick your programs? Debian.

And then there’s the secondary question for some of us… the machine you game on?

Ready to go? Fedora, Pop, or several other choices.

Bare install where you pick your programs? Arch.
