On a lark, I installed Linux Mint on an hold tower I had lying around and I'm giving linux desktop a go after more than 15 years using Apple products exclusively.
So far I'm pretty damn impressed. I'm having a lot of trouble learning keyboard shortcuts and things like that but install apps has been insanely easy and there are high quality free versions for pretty much everything I was using on my Macbook Pro.
Any tips from you Linux maxis out there?
Also, what's the best privacy-focused browser these days? Sounds like firefox is going down the ad path... Brave touts itself but I hate all the shitcoinery in their browser.
