My first distro was Debian, probably back around 2008. I used that and Ubuntu for years without having even looked at a desktop environment. For me, Linux was a server OS and I had to teach myself how to use it to spin up Teamspeak/Mumble, webservers, VPNs, etc.

I first started using Linux as a desktop OS in 2016. Tried SUSE and Fedora, but really liked Manjaro and eventually gravitated to Arch. I tried out NixOS a year or so ago and liked it, but I still go back to Arch with KDE Plasma.

I’ve been using Feeder for RSS and am fairly happy.

I wish there was a way to group articles by topic. At the moment I have to scroll through pages of articles about the Pope’s death.

I initially had problems with Piped, but I’ve been using PipePipe for ages and have never had an issue.

Mrs Browns Boys is a good one, but a bit more risque.

I stopped visiting reddit when they started screwing around with API access. I’m glad I didn’t wait in the hopes the inevitable wouldn’t happen.

The military? Excuse me, AREN’T THEY ALL FUCKING HIRED KILLERS!? SHUT UP! They are thugs and when we need to go blow the fuck out of a nation of little brown people, we’ll let them know!

I was part way through switching from Gmail to Protonmail when their CEO started brown nosing Trump. I’m tossing up between Tuta and Kmail.

I hate the north, they put up their nose at us like we’re peasants.

Absolutely the easiest phone OS installation I’ve ever done. Completely web-based and easy enough for anyone to use. Even easier than flashing LineageOS.

The big hurdle to GrapheneOS is can you do without Google Wallet and other apps that won’t work. The flashing process isn’t something to worry about IMO.
