You can tweak any distro but, pay attention to using Jack + PREEMPT_RT kernel + Xlibre (X11).
Avoid Wayland (especially with nvidia GPU), avoid Pipewire and avoid Gnome desktop.
I suggest starting out with Debian stable as the base. There are specialised AV Linux distros available but nothing beats knowing what you're doing from the outset.
If you need the very latest version of a particular app not available as a distro package, Flatpak is your friend. Again, Debian '.debs' and AppImage are most prevalent third party packages outside the proprietary app stores of Flathub & Snapcraft.
The regime has detailed plans (which were published) to subvert the election in cooperation with ally states. The regime has poured obscene amounts of money into arming a masked militia of 'federal agents', currently murdering & disappearing dissenters, with impunity.
The closing gambit in the face of inevitable major dissent is to provoke violence and use it as an excuse to declare martial law which includes suspension of Habeas Corpus.
The corporate captured Democrats are not going to save you.
If any sane governor tries to push back against martial law, killing of dissenters and the total subversion of democracy, Trumps private army will be indeed well armed.
Too many people are just not getting it. The regime will not relinquish power.
More accurately, its preparation for martial law in November. Any US citizen who thinks there will be free and fair elections is not paying attention. The regime are not leaving power willingly.
Time is running out for nation wide general strikes ..
If I recall correctly, Project Trident was M$'s ambitious attempt at a new proprietary browser to replace IE before abandoning it and just reskinning Chrome as 'Edge'
Thank you very much for your suggestion. This looks like a more reasonably priced solution. After re-reading the description I note the developers say that it EXTENDS the iOS Files app, in other words I can access files already present ‘on your phone’.
Well, apart from the fact that it’s NOT Google, (which I used for over a decade), the big selling point for a small business person is EMAIL. Apple do a good job of Email/Contacts/Calendar/File whereas Android struggles. Try accessing a third party Exchange email account on Android … yikes!
iCloud offers cheap reliable multi domain email hosting and the iOS Mail client sucks less than any other mobile email clients, at least in my experience.
I perceive Apple as, at least, a little more respectful of my privacy than Alphabet which is up there with Meta in profligate privacy abuse.
Another consideration is I can rely on Apple to keep incrementally improving devises/OS’s whereas Alphabet has become much less reliable in terms of introducing services then capriciously terminating those services. Every Android handset is a bespoke experience…
I use Linux (Debian Stable) on my desktop & BSD on my Servers.
I would love to use a mobile device running an open source OS such as Linux, it’s not viable yet.
Decent audio experience?
