Some day surely Windows and Mac will get something similar to SearXNG, then you won't have to worry about this stuff

Nah, self hosted local search engine on Microsoft's platform? Lol

I am a Linux user.

Then I'd suggest SearXNG. I use public instances because no one has made a way for me to natively host it myself, but I recommend it regardless

That reminds me : Last time I tried Garuda Linux it came with a local Whoogle instance.

Unfortunately it's broken all the time because it gets IP-banned by Google. Perhaps they could implement something like the Invidious smart-ipv6-rotator to prevent this.
