  • Linux or Windows.

  • But it is there. Both Linux Mint and Pop OS are based on Ubuntu. And these three distributions seems to be the most recommended, that I have seen. My personal issue with ubuntu itself is that it is a little bit rough around the edges and then there is this whole snap thing. But I don't want to go into that here. It was just a recommendation and yes ubuntu is fine :)

  • I would switch the "will always" into "might". "Switching to Linux might come with a little bit of tinkering involved." I have seen more and more cases when you put a linux on somebody's laptop and they even hardly notice something is different.

  • Windows is not making money on sales only. They collect data and then they sell them to data brokers. Those brokers then sell the data to advertisement agencies to serve you adds. Even if you buy just one item based on those adds (which may be unconscious choice) you have already paid. Even if you buy nothing based on adds, microsoft already got the money.

    I do recommend linux but be aware of letting people to push you into something you don't want to do. Linux community can be very enthusiastic 😅. Top three to recommend are Linux Mint (most windows like design), Fedora (most stable) and Pop OS (best with nvidia gpu). Only one of these is favorite of mine but I will not tell you which, just search for them, look at screenshots and you will see what suits you.

  • Are there alternatives for Europeans who dont want to be "purchase taxed" by VISA and MASTER CARD?

  • I think the point is that not everybody's life revolve around thinking about more private options (mine does lol, gotta push those limits) or cash in this case. It sure is better, but it also is less convenient and that is a fact. People do have hardships in their lives and its good to have something easy instead of adding more to your plate. For people like me its fun, but for most its a chore.

  • Revolut is Lithuanian I think.

  • Messanger / Signal / Whatsup Alternative

  • I think they are also non-profit company

  • Nitrokey, German alternative to Yubikey

  • Last time I was checking them out (~year ago) it was basically impossible to use them with android phone. If I remember correctly there was one mobile app that was mostly out of date that worked for some models, but not easy. How is the support now, do you know?

  • Spain turning Non EU products upside down on shelves in shops as a form of boycott

  • its still fun thing to see :)

  • People who joined Lemmy in the last few days thanks to posts on /r/buyfromEU, how are you doing?

    Jump

  • I am happy I joined (in past 14 days or so). So far I like it a lot. In the past I tried lemmy and was confused how it works. Somehow I thought when I post something on mastodon it can also be targeted to lemmy (posts or replies), but I think I largely misunderstood and that put me off for some time. But when I found out about this sublemmy I had to try again and this time with success!
