QBittorrent has been my torrent Client for 4/5 years at this point, never having problems. It works on my Steam Deck too (Arch).

My next Laptop will be Pangolin 15' from System76. A bit on the expensive side, but the unlimited support and the right to repair make it worth it. Following the specs, so you can have a look.

Like is not PRO, because you can do some light gaming on it, but definitely a good machine in my opinion.

I agree 100%, most messages are just bots, and now with the surge of AI it will be much harder to distinguish a real person from a computer.

Why don't you try becoming comfortable with Linux while using it in a Virtual Machine? I tried different distros too, and then I decided which one was the best for me.

We can't really suggest you one, if we don't know what you are going to use it for.

You may want to do some research, because different distros have different purposes (gaming, privacy, programming, easy to use etc etc).

Let us know, what your use cases will be?

Surface the Web with VPN, Ad blocker, Anti-Tracker, use Linux. In 5 years, I have never encountered a virus or a trojan. Following these 4 "rules" and you'll be fine on any website.

Sucks to be an iOS user. On Android you can install ReVenced and block all Ads and in video sponsors.

Additionally, you can install 3th party clients for YouTube Music (without ads and background play).

I started my gaming experience (PC) with Linux. So I disagree.

I guess it is time to completely delete it.

I see where you are coming from, but at the end Firefox is just better from a privacy point of view (open source).

Yes, you can use emoji, but wouldn't it be better to use special characters instead? At least is 100% sure to be supported in all modern devices.

Usually, lucky patcher can't get around this kind of in-app purchase (subscription). It normally works for apps that have a one time purchase (but some apps have protection against this kind of patch)

However, once the app is patched, you don't need to run Lucky Patcher every time.

Finally, about its safety; I have been using it for a while, and never had any problems with it, so I reckon it is safe to use.

Is Reddit still alive? I have been away for months 😂
