Maybe it’s just nostalgia, but I’ve fond memories of WXP, back then when I still bothered dual booting.

Which CPU is that? Mine is and i5-8250U and can virtualize Windows in a decent manner.

I’d cut my balls before giving any kind of money to Apple. If you really need a new laptop (debatable, se my reply to you comment above), you may just get a well specced Thinkpad with at least 16 GB RAM (new or 2nd hand), install Linux of it and use Windows in a VM with virt-manager.

That’s odd… My laptop is a shitty E-series Thinkpad from 2018 with 16 GB RAM and runs Windows in a VM quite well.

I’m not sold on passkeys, either. Too “opaques” to me.

• Kate
• Yakuake
• Brave, Vivaldi, Chromium
• LibreOffice (I use Calc a lot)
• Kate
• Ocular
• DoH-client
• htop
• ncdu
• Windscribe
• virt-manager

… and more I can’t remember right now, because it’s too early in the morning.

EDIT:

• nano
• mc (midnight commander)

Still, OP doesn’t need to apologize.

You don’t need to apologize for using a tool.

Me neither. And I’ve been using them for 6ish year. That said, mistakes may happen, so…

Me on a RPi4.

Give 2 millions bonus to that CEO!

You’re not entirely wrong…

Brave+self-hosted SearXNG

Not this with built-in adblockers, despite someone’s wishes.

I was talking about AdGuard, not AdGuard Home.

AdGuard is not a DNS blocker

No, you’re wrong.

Browsers with in built adblocker or system wide AdGuard.
