  • Here are three sites that will make your life a whole lot easier:

    • DistroWatch.com - This is basically a database of various Linux distros, BSDs, Unices, and other similar OSes. It’s a good way of looking into a distro before installing it.
    • DistroChooser - This is a basic quiz that suggests Linux distros for you.
    • Linux Hardware - This is a database of hardware. I use it to check driver support before buying a new machine. It is hosted in Russia, though, so be careful.

    If you or your dad are new to Linux, don’t bother with DistroWatch or DistroChooser just yet; go for Linux Mint.

    I started my Linux journey with Mint on a ThinkPad T400 back in 2019, and now I’m one of the few people in my university writing Bash scripts without using ChatGPT. This shouldn’t be a flex, but it is; and I owe it to starting with Mint.

    I trust Mullvad with my card number a lot more than Amazon, and I did mention that I would have paid with Monero if only I had any.

    As for Posteo, great experiences all around. It mostly just gets out of your way and, unlike more popular providers, isn’t always telling you about how great it is. However, the SPAM filter could be better.
