    I would love to switch away from DuckDuckGo, and I would be very happy if Mojeek was a viable alternative. I'll try using it for some time and I will report any issues I encounter with the search. Btw it's great that you're on the Fediverse!

    Never heard of it.

    It's pretty neat and Mullvad is a very privacy-focused company with a great track record. They released their search engine (which is a Google proxy) together with their own browser, which is based on the Tor Browser and developed together with the Tor Project.

    SearXNG and 4get is what I recommend for privacy. They get their results from other search engines but those won’t be able to trace the query back to you. Also, it’s open source and everyone can set up their own instance so there is no incentive to generate profit from your data.

    I tried to use 4get as a DDG proxy, all the instances I tried kept getting blocked by DuckDuckGo. It wasn't a great experience. I also tried SearX and SearXNG many times, I always keep coming back to DuckDuckGo, because it just works and it gives me decent results. With SearX, I often had trouble finding relevant results. I tried various options and different search engine backends in SearXNG, but I never really liked it. DDG is definitely far from perfect, but so are the other options, and I think DDG is the best and easiest to use for less technical users.

    Tell me which of the options I listed you would use.

    • Startpage is owned by an advertising company
    • Mullvad Leta is only available to Mullvad VPN customers
    • Brave does a whole bunch of shady stuff, e.g. installing VPN services on people's computers, although they never asked for it

    The other options aren't good either

    Hey guys, I'm pretty new to Nix and NixOS and one of the reasons I installed it is because I know there's some way to install the KDE 6 Beta before the official stable release. I wanted to use the [kde2nix](https://github.com/nix-community/kde2nix) overlay, but appearantely KDE 6 has been merged into the official nixpkgs repository. How do I switch from Plasma 5 to 6? I'm already on the unstable channel if that matters. Thanks in advance.
