Basically, which linux distro is the best for a non-power user? Someone who wants to be able to get up and running without having to learn how to manage the OS using the cli.
Quick example: When I install a new OS, the first thing I want to do is install Brave. That should be as easy as “click on this thing, type in brave, select Brave, install.”
Pop os, but don’t install brave, it’s bullshit cryptocurrency spyware.
is it really running crypto in the back ground. When I head people say that I hear it runs some crypto mining in the background
No. You can opt into watching ads for their BAT crypto, but you can also just turn all of that off and have an awesome ad-free browser.
ah good to I’ll still use vilvaldi
It’s not crypto mining, because crypto mining is basically worthless on consumer hardware now. What it does is run its own ads and pay you for enduring them and being spied upon by them in its own cryptocurrency.
