Yep, it does what I need it to without much fuss. :)

Yeah, since it’s just a hardened fork of Firefox, I found switching really easy. Didn’t try out sync tho, so ymmv.

Neat. I hadn’t heard of NixOS before. Will have to check it out!

Of course, tovarish!

Nice. There’s definitely a learning curve, but it’s much easier these days with so many online support communities.

The hardest part of a journey is taking the first step. :)

Yeah, if you want to minimize tinkering, running Linux on a VM might be best. Check out UTM, and you can get Debian right from their Gallery page. Linux Mint is another good option, but it may run a little slower, since its not built for Apple silicon.

It’s pretty good. I’ve used Linux Mint in the past, and haven’t noticed any jarring differences. Then and now I picked Cinnamon for my DE, and if anything it looks more polished than it did before.

Pick up The Buru Quartet. Although the massacres in 1965-66 caused damage that’s still visible even today, they fell short of eradicating the spirit of the PKI.

Shame? Never heard of it.

Security is a good one, since the need for it isn’t going away. It would also require some good generalist knowledge to be familiar with the varieties of exploits out there. Good luck!
