Linux mint is in my opinion the best distro for a new user, but you may personally not be fond of the UI.
I don't know how to write a guide for you, but if you have more specific questions feel free to ask them, best of luck!
Sad to see it finish so soon :(
Opera is just chromium with extra spyware and shit. Firefox is mentioned a lot because it is foss, and my favorite browser for that matter.
You pay and you're still the product, they continue with all the tracking they do.
Home Manager on a NixOS flake, it's a rabbit hole but I've been loving it since last week!
I would love it on Piped, they already have sponsorblock

The community is new and right now I am the only mod, but in the near future I will carefully add trusted people to help me moderate this place if it gets big enough.
This community is made with the objective of hopefully improving the onboarding experience for new users and the overall experience for veteran users alike, by sharing our questions and knowledge.
As you can imagine this community is heavily inspired by "No Stupid Questions", the idea behind this new one is too take off the lemmy/fediverse questions out of the original, because it has become a support community.
I love that Linux allows us to do this, but why
I'm deeply sorry, but I had to mention i2p torrenting, it might become more popular soon.
Sidenote: I2P torrenting doesn't require a vpn or port forwarding, and is indeed more private.
No ads, no tracking, just donations. The model proved itself when twitter went to shit and a big influx of users came to mastodon, it all worked out.
I was going to suggest the Pinetime, but it is far from close to what you're asking. Have you looked at the Bangle.js 2 watch? It has GPS at least.
When I had reddit (deleted a few years ago), I posted a screenshot of my android launcher, and someone pointed out that I was using google apps, and said "protect your privacy", he gave me some resources and that's where it all clicked for me. What a nice guy.
