Bazzite (fedora based) is actually more like steamOS than Arch is like steamOS, as both Bazzite and steamOS are immutable. I love Bazzite/Aurora/Bluefin because they have the option to include Nvidia drivers preconfigured out of the box. There have been some improvements in KDE for NVIDIA recently, so maybe check it out. One quick question, why is dealing with packages a pro point for Ubuntu?

The book of German humor is incredibly thin.

No it is not, it as an extremely long book with thousands of pages. It just isn’t funny.

Discord would be the obvious answer, but I understand why you might want to use it, my recommendation is using a client that disables some of the tracking like Vesktop. Spotify is also a major privacy concern, it can be replaced by Spotube (and to a lesser degree by Audiotube) which removes most tracking and is three and convenient. Also I’m not sure if I would keep using chromium, especially with manifest V3

I think the main reason is that most people who use Linux installed it on their own and at that point no parental control is stopping you.

Parental controls are one of the under developed parts of Linux, the only major one I know of is timekpr

My recommendation would be setting up Nobara with a separate home partition so you can easily switch if it stops being supported, although there are no sign of this yet. My second recommendation would be Opensuse Leap, it is more stable and well established but less optimized for gaming. Maybe take another look at Pop OS! when they release their independent new desktop. If you go with base Fedora be aware setting up codecs can be annoying. Avoid Manjaro, the distro breaks a lot due to dependency conflicts. Also I think you mean GNOME 40, GNOME 3 is the old design.

LMDE uses Debian repos which are very well tested, meaning stuff like the XZ back door will most likely not affect you because it is found before you get the update. ClamAV is not designed to recognize malware for Linux only on Linux, so not what you want in your case. My recommendation is to stick to distro packages (well tested) or flathub (sandboxed), which are available in mints app manager. If that isn’t an option try getting the software as an appimage, it isn’t sandboxed but also doesn’t have root access. Otherwise general rules apply: be wary of sketchy websites, use ublock with the malware filter list etc.

SteamOS at the end of the day just is an immutable distro with game mode for the steam deck. Bazzite does the same for PCs. I get that there is some level of brand recognition with Steam, but I think most people (including me) would take a while to notice there is something of when they are handed a steam deck with bazzite

How so?

Not sure, but maybe this is a pipewire vs pulseaudio thing. Enable pipewire on Debian

What would an official steamOS desktop do that bazzite can’t? Unless you need commercial support because you are selling steam machines I don’t see how a official release would be of advantage.

That remove all instances feature could save me a lot of trouble

The video is also on Odysee, but for me there is no marking.

I have used Alpaca in the past, but personally I prefer GPT4ALL as it seems to be more complete.

1. Power off your smart device of choice
2. Smash it with a hammer
3. Live in the woods

This has worked great for me

Don’t no which websites you are talking about, but a bunch of websites (looking at you Reddit) block VPNs based on ip. Your only option is changing server until you find one that isn’t blocked or using Tor

Personally, I just use a raspberry pi with flex launcher. Not sure about remote though

Not trying to discredit the tool, but why the hell do they recommend edge as a private browser alternative?
