Bah, real power users only need a magnet and a pin.

Linux is whatever the Linux Mark Institute says it is.
You don’t need reproducible builds. You can get by if you trust whoever compiled it, like your distro’s maintainers or the pidgin developers.
The risk of mis-ordering your layers is a security issue.
There are two ways to layer a VPN and tor:
In the first option, you gain little. Tor already encrypts your traffic, so your ISP can’t see inside them. Technically, Tor over a VPN hides the fact that you’re using Tor from your ISP, but Tor’s snowflake does something similar if you need that.
In the second option, you’re revealing your VPN account information, which could theoretically be associated back to you. Tor adds nothing over just a VPN in this case.
Don’t mix tor plus VPN.
If you’re using tor browser without tor for some reason, carry on.
Copyleft means: “if you modify the program and share it, you also have to include the source code for your modifications.”
The owner of the copyright (usually the developers or their employer) can still change the license later.
I am aware. What processing is only possible in the cloud, and not locally?
Edit: My apologies, I didn’t realize you weren’t the same person I originally replied to. Please disregard!
Until homeomorphic encryption becomes a thing, cloud can’t be secure or private.
Why do you need homeomorphic encryption? Isn’t client-side encryption good enough for most use cases?
I’d like Gentoo ebuilds to run in a fully isolated namespace/container with only the dependencies explicitly enabled by portage configuration. Something like a mix of nix but with the ebuild syntax.
Yes, this. Don’t put your whole home directory in git.
There’s https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/ for privacy, at least.
Chiming in to also recommend Gentoo. It’s a pretty stable rolling release distro, with access to pretty new packages when necessary.
Snaps just aren’t ready yet.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ares I think? Don’t understand the quotes though.
Go for it then! Gentoo is a blast (if you enjoy this sort of thing) and is surprisingly stable once you get it set up.
One tip, before I forget, is to save your firmware from MacOS before wiping the drive. Unfortunately I don’t remember where it’s located, and no longer have access to try and find it 😅
You’ll need to be a bit more specific about the iMac. What year is it?
If it’s pre-2017, I’d expect some difficulty with the WiFi. If it’s newer, you might have luck with https://wiki.t2linux.org/distributions/gentoo/installation/ . I haven’t followed that guide, so YMMV.
Bit of pedantry, but ~/boot
expands to something like /home/username/boot
.
/boot
is a folder at the root of your filesystem, while ~/boot
is a directory in your home folder.
That said, there are cases of players noticing emergent behaviour in games! For example: https://twitter.com/JoelBurgess/status/1428008041887281157
I run Gentoo as my main distro, and have for a couple years now. It’s a pretty stable rolling release (IMO more stable than Arch), and since you’re already an advanced user, the experience should be pretty rewarding!
The wiki is great, and the installation handbook is top notch.
You get to control exactly what features each package is compiled with, so no bloat at all.
KDE 6 just landed too!
