    Signal is still great for cross-platform rich messaging, sending photos and videos with good quality (unlike with SMS), as well as voice and video calls. It also has fantastic desktop apps, similar to how you can use iMessage on your Mac, but Signal works on Linux and Windows as well. And you don't need to be a criminal to care about your privacy.

    The Firehawk52 guide has some ARLs that expire in 2099. I never had issues with them. Just hit Ctrl + F, search for 2099 and you're good to go.

    Btw the regular ARLs are being updated, search for 2025 and you'll get some results.

    OP asked about TLauncher, which is a cracked version. It's proprietary though, and there's a much better alternative called PollyMC. It's based on the amazing Prism Launcher, and has a bunch of useful features, such as the ability to download individual mods and entire modpacks straight from sources like Curseforge, Modrinth, ATLauncher or FTB.

    I recommend using PollyMC, if you want to play Minecraft for free. It's based on the awesome Prism Launcher, is completely open source, and has more features than the official launcher or TLauncher.

    If you want something that's basically the exact same thing as Notepad++, check out Notepad Next. If you want something similar, try Notepadqq, and if you want something better, use Kate. It's developed by the KDE Project btw, and fits in well with the rest of your Plasma desktop experience.

    I have installed Lutris (flatpak), Bottles (flatpak) and Heroic (Appimage).

    Why did you install Heroic as an AppImage? Just go with the Flatpak, which is more convenient, because you can easily update it from Discover.

    I also recommend installing ProtonUp-Qt btw, it's an easy to use graphical tool that lets you manage multiple versions of Proton. Once you have it installed, use it to download the latest version of Proton-GE-custom. It has better performance and compatibility with many games.

    When actually installing Linux onto your machine, I would reconsider your choice of distribution though. Debian isn't bad, but there are better, easier, more user-friendly distros for gaming. One example of this is Bazzite. It's pretty similar to Steam OS, and you can't really break it.

    prohibit a seller of a digital good from advertising or offering for sale a digital good, as defined, to a purchaser with the terms buy, purchase, or any other term which a reasonable person would understand

    I think 'acquire' definitely falls in this category

    Who uses that anyway? Back when I was using a Samsung phone, I was always annoyed because I couldn't uninstall this bullshit

    The Pixel with GrapheneOS is simply superior. No ads, no tracking, no bloatware, no bullshit, just 100% FOSS software with privacy and security in mind.

    An Alpine user, cool! What is it like to use it as your primary desktop OS? I have only played around with it on servers or in VMs and containers.

    On Arch I don't need any, I just run paru without any options, which by default invokes a full Pacman update, as well as updating all AUR packages. But I have a system maintenance script, that, besides doing some other stuff that's specific to my system, runs paru -Sc --noconfirm to clean the Pacman package cache, and delete unneeded cloned AUR Git repos and build artifacts.
