Same for me, XFCE is light, stable and efficient. I believe that’s the reason it’s chosen for Debian as default DE

2·1 year agoAccording to their Wiki, other Distros (including DE) are not supported/documented and if you do it’s at your own risk. Personally, I wouldn’t dare trying that.
Dell provides XPS laptop with Ubuntu on it. It works great and Ubuntu can be replaced with other distro ( I did successfully tested Mint and now Debian 11)
I don’t think so, mostly it’s hardening, and few security related software, all FOSS
But you’ll need much more RAM, 8 GB is a bare minimum…
The kicksecure documentation is well written. Go here for distro-morphing of Debian 12, step by step things to do are pretty explicit and you can even copy the command lines if you think you’ll make a mistake…
This is the best choice IMHO. You have a rock solid OS (Debian) and all possible taken measures to harden it with Kicksecure patch.
Ans there’s even no Chinese brands… Will be even much worse!
I do have TrackerConrrol + Nebulo, works like a charm
2·1 year agoAgree to that, especially for video cards and Wi-Fi. These two can be hard to deal with… If your laptop is Wi-Fi only and you don’t have a USB/Ethernet adaptor you may not be able to connect to the net at all
Yes, agree with you, especially your last comment: disable entirely IPv6
I honestly prefer to have Nebulo + TraclerControl combined. I never saw any ad on my mobile. Nebulo is great because it uses privacy-focused DNS server, while TrackerConrrol identifies and blocks any tracker as you want.
Change iSP if you can, ans un any case you should use your own router running OpenWRT to have full control over your own network
You can try Frost, a web wrapper for Facebook: get in on F-Droid here.
You can also run it isolated using Shelter, another app on F-Droid, get it here.
