Linux Mint. Yes, it's not that interesting, but as many others point out, it just works. Both on my laptop and desktop pc. No issues for over two years.

as in how? using it for ads? Ok. And apple shares it with the chinese government in china. Unlike Google.

apple tracks as much data as google does. It just isnt as open in saying that. But its commonly not known.

Anyhow. Both suck hard. Atleast on Android though, you can go without google.

google and samsung suck just as much. Custom rom's for the win. Besides on Android at least you dont have to use a google account and can use aurora store or apks. And you can easily set a filter to not allow any apps or system apps to use internet.

battery storage? how long do they last until they loose most capacity.

A lake pump system would make much more sense to store energy. Pump up water into a higher lake when theres too much energy and get it back with turbines, when you need energy.

thats ok with me. Wouldnt buy a ios device anyways. Exactly, because they dont allow third party apps.

why, when it can actually be helpful? Using chatgpt for searches is already much faster than denying 10 cookie banners. Some more privacy focused AI would be great, if firefox does that.
