I saw a post about Firefox has been going downhill in terms of privacy protection, and figured it was time to take some action. I saw LibreWolf was a decent alternative, but wanted to go all the way and get my laptop off Mac OS while I was at it. So, after some difficulties, I installed Debian Linux and am writing my first post that’s not from Jerboa on my phone!

    Oh shoot, you this post reminded me to get off Vivaldi. Congratulations on moving over to Linux, I’m halfway there with my laptop running Mint. Transitioning my desktop is gonna be tough for me, though.

    From what you learned is there a version of linux that you would recommend to install on your macbook that doesn’t involve too much tinkering? (Use case: mainly browsing/research and writing, the occasional spreadsheet and presentation app, the idea is to improve longevity of the laptop if possible)
