I use Alpaca

You also could cool into high core count CPUs.

NVK is pretty cool but it is still pretty new

It is now supported in Mesa

The browser is much weaker than the network itself. Stay up to date with security patches and run Tor in a live environment like Tails OS

Gentoo with Ansible

Excuse me…

Linux makes it fairly easy to be a power user even if you aren’t super technical. Linux puts you in the drivers seat.

In reality anyone can be a power user

Could you just secure the physical location?

Do you not live in a safe place?

That is a very bad idea

Use Tor since For is designed to make every user apprear identical. Firefox is packed full of telemetry and leaves a pretty heavy fingerprint.

What are you going to use except Tor?

Anyway the risk is pretty low that you are going to get targeted by law enforcement. Even if you are a person of interest it is going to be easier just to wait until you make a Sec Opps. They would need to control every node in the path plus they would need to decrypt the traffic on the exit. Somehow I don’t see that happening.

Also if you use Onion sites it is even harder to trace since there isn’t a clear exit.

A better example would be the dark web forums

What else are you going to use? Also Tor is highly resistant to attacks and it is very hard to trace traffic even if you control a sizable amount of the network. I think using Tor for random stuff once and a while is good as it mixes in junk with sensitive stuff.

I think the actual risk for a single low priority individual is low. However, run a node of you can. Also install the snowflake extension

I honestly don’t care as long as the bots don’t cause a denial of service

No one can read this comment but you and me…

Right?

Depending on his age that may or may not be acceptable. My parents used to have a charging station away from bedrooms. The rules was that tech went on the charger at a certain time.

You could ask him what he wants

Best way to engage kids in tech is to give them options.

I like Chromebooks

I would use one if it wasn’t a privacy and freedom nightmare. I think it would be cool if there was a distro that was rootless by design and unbreakable as possible

Honestly that’s a pretty good comparison

I think the troll users are getting old and grey at this point. People people are willing to help.

My guess is that they are using a KDE distro that doesn’t properly package gnome stuff

That’s just a guess though

You might be able to do that with Windows Update
