Just use OnionShare

Here are some answers I can give

1: Depends on which game you play, performance ma be better or worse, cant say without specifics

2: If modding a game requires copying files from here to there, you will have 0 issues, but if it requires some software to do it, you will have to do some digging

3: In some cases, you can use something like WINE to run these applications. But I have personally never done it. A better way would be to search for how to do it in Linux, which look difficult at first, but its just different not difficult

4: That I dont know enough to say, maby WINE can run them

5: Yes, there is a Linux update button on many so called beginner friendly distributions like Ubuntu and Linux Mint

6: Lets just rephrase it this way, a vehicle is open source, anyone can unscrew anything, anyone can change brakes, does that make it less safe?

7: Yes, GPU drivers are very stable these days, there was once a time where it was not true but thats history now

8: No and Yes, Linux will not try to prevent you from breaking your computer if you want, this sounds weird but there are good reasons why. But you gotta understand, Linux is a layered architecture and most of the hardware related stuff lives on the bottom layer, and you need to go out of your way to modify it and disable safety features to cause hardware damage.

Personal note:

1: Anything you can do on a web browser is not an issue, that includes office 365 or Adobe cloud or stuff like that.

2: If you have iPhone and require full support, you are out of luck, I know some folks were able run iTunes through WINE and get its full functionality, but thats just hack and nobody can tell if that works or if you can get it working now. The only support that comes out of the box is being able to copy media from iPhone to computer, cant remember if you could copy media from your computer to iPhones.

3: Adobe support is absent. I know some were able to get older version of Adobe products working with WINE but cant say that works anymore. Like I mentioned previously, being able to use stuff over cloud with a browser is non issue.

4: Libreoffice in Linux is pretty must identical to MS Office. Its just that buttons are in different places and you can save as PDF which will look exactly the same.

5: There is no reason not to atleast have Windows dualbooted, you can find something like Oprekin’s Windows 10/11 lite with everything removed, though it may be absolutely insecure, Windows cannot support Linux’s filesystem so its fine when you need it. It can fit in about 50GB disk space so no reason not to have it.

Wait, Microsoft pays to use their products?

Just learn socket programming in your favourite programming language duhhh

I have heard of drama involving Graphene OS. I just know there is some drama involving GrapheneOS, I dont know who did what or care who said what, maby its related to that?

Is week enough?

Mine may be the funniest

I used to always recommend people use Linux Mint as their first distro, but then it hit me, how can I recommend something I only installed for five minutes? So I got myself Linux Mint, it was 21.3 Virginia at that time, now I have more important things to do in my system and it has stayed.

I used Arch in my old laptop for 2 and half years, learned alot of things from Arch, also got to know some people in the Arch unofficial Matrix Room. But I have a new laptop and this is the story.

The answer is absolutely yes

Keep in mind that RSS is just some XML sent over HTTPS connection. For anyone outside, it will look like gibbirish, they can say you are requesting and getting some things from that particular site but not what it is.

A more lightweight browser?

You gotta understand, browsers are designed to be HTML parsers. You can write an HTML file and double click to open in browser so your only option is a web browser.

Some browsers are certainly light weght than others, find the one that suits your need and use it

There are no shortage of encryption software in the market, use one, any one, Veracrypt is fine, so is million other software for this.

Use a note taking app like Joplin, Obsidian, though not open source is just as fine. Sync its data folder to the encrypted vault created with encryption software of your choice, and you are good to go

pyqt5 or tkinter

Because you can format your system without deleting your personal files

I love to support women too, I understand and notice that there are far too few women in this field.

If you think about it, it makes no sense. We see women as weaker than men physically. Which explains why we dont see that much women in labor work. But why in tech? Tech is a place where noone is incapable. Everyone regardless of gender, political opinion, caste can be equal in tech
