The lingering feeling of instability. This is my second install of OpenSUSE, after I messed up something leading to my computer having some files which it wanted to update, but using urls which didn’t exist. After this, I’ve been feeling a bit insecure and afraid of doing something that ruins my installation. I know there’s the saying that Linux ‘just works’, but I’ve never messed up a Windows installation...
Regarding this. How often did you mess your windows installation when you started? Because I started around 8 years old with MSDOS and I screwed Windows many times, eventually I learnt what to do and what not.
Regarding software today it's easier than it's ever been in Linux. With flatpack, appimages and the different repos.
Anyway there is this scene in the show "Bojack Horseman" where the titular character was trying to do some exercise by running up a hill and he is tired, exhausted, another characters pass by and says: "It gets easier", "uh?" answers Bojack, "It gets easier but you have to do it every day, that's the hard part".
What that means is, it will get easier, specially when you are young, but you have to be constant, you have to keep messing around and do backups.
That being said, I am huge fan of opensuse and debian but eventually on my desktop I went with endeavour-os, the only time I screwed it up it was easy to fix it by using the live-iso editing the config files and fixed, now I keep a journal when I change anything :)

Betterbird wouldn't exist without thunderbird though. Same with all those firefox forks people are recommending, if Firefox goes under most of those would go under too.
I don't even have kids and I have protection in place at home to block devices from accessing sites, not exclusively porn tho, gambling and social networks.
Porn can be bad, okay, but if we taught our kids properly it's not that bad and curiosity is ok. Gambling is terrible and more and more people are getting addicted to it.
Fuck government paternalism.
Not even orks are so evil.
Polestar is Chinese, since Volvo is Chinese.

Sanctions started around 2014-2015. Even Spain buys gas from Russia.
There is this app that generates white noise on the phone but such a battery drainer it wasn't worth it.
I'm glad Europe is uniting.
While still buying a lot of natural resources from Russia.
At least half of Europe is the very definition of hypocrisy the last few years.
Zelensky is impresive not because of what he says but because of what he does, I think the European Union isn't demonstrating anything but talking a lot.
Smartphones are a national security threat too but... And not only smartphones, any kind of phone: https://theintercept.com/2014/12/04/nsa-auroragold-hack-cellphones/
