Anyone know why LibreWolf isn’t in the default Debian repositories? I trust Debian - I’m not going to add a repository to get LibreWolf.
Until it’s available from a default Debian repo, I’ll keep going thru my list of all the garbage I have to go switch off in Settings and about:config every time I install Firefox for someone.

You can instead try a distro that just works on most hardware, like Linux Mint or other easy-to-use distros suggested in this thread. That way you can slowly learn how to use Linux if you want, while using Linux, so you can later use a more finicky distro more suited to what you want.
For years I used Ubuntu, but when GNOME 3 came out I changed to Xubuntu, and then when Snap came out I changed to Mint Xfce. I’ve used several 2nd-hand desktops and laptops over the decades, so brand-new hardware might be more problem-prone.
I started off trying Slackware, SUSE, and Mandrake; but struggled too much with them so I stayed with Windows. Ubuntu just worked for me, so it allowed me to easily ditch Windows. Years later, I had update problems when I tested MX Linux and Debian, but instead of trying to fix it, I personally found it easier to just look for a distro better suited to the way I want to use my computer.

The train already had about 10 students who got on at previous stations also going to her school. She was the only one at that particular stop. Her parents already has a car, and they use it to drive her for 5 minutes to the train station, the train then takes 1 hour to get to where her school is.
"There’s only one train heading away from the main city of Asahikawa toward Engaru High School each day, so Kana’s parents make the five-minute drive to the station in time for her to catch the 7:16 a.m. train every morning, where she’s the only regular passenger waiting on the elevated section of land serving as a platform. The journey to school takes almost one hour, giving Kana time to read, listen to music or study during test time.
When Kana boards the train, there are about 10 other passengers, mostly other students, inside." https://allabout-japan.com/en/article/1540/
Nope: “along with more than 10 schoolmates at 7.15am.” The Straits Times "On boarding the train, Kana takes her seat amongst her schoolmates who got on board at earlier stations. Most of the passengers, indeed, are students at the Engaru Highschool. " The Online Citizen
Also, reducing human overpopulation is a good things because human overpopulation is the biggest cause of anthropogenic climate change (compare it to other causes), and the root cause of it. It’s also the root cause of the anthropocene extinction event and of that becoming a mass extinction event, and of factory farming, and of industrial fishing, and of habitat degradation and destruction, and of unsustainable pollution, …
The 2 trillion figure is the minimum: it could be more than 6 trillion every year, and the elephant in the room is that more than half of those are factory farmed - which means humans are responsible for torturing them their entire lives.

Doing the same thing slower (because you’re explaining what you’re doing) sometimes prevents the problem from happening.
Things that aren’t working for a user sometimes work for me because I wait a bit longer between steps, e.g. waiting for the services/background-programs to finish loading instead of immediately clicking something on the desktop/panel 5 times the moment it shows up.
