how does carburetor work? Do I simply activate it and that means all my traffic goes through tor? just like that? even if I open a terminal and sudo apt update, flatpak or yt-dlp something?

I see. Thanks

thanks for posting such a detailed answer.

about the different debian versions: I don't know which one I should try first:

I found debian mac 12.5 netinst https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/bt-cd/ and I'm giving it a try.

Shouldn't that work, I'll try one of the live cds https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/bt-hybrid/

I paste the links to check if I have the right version

Incidentally, the data size difference is so surprising: 0.66 GB (debian mac netinst) against 3.17 GB (debian live). Can I have something in between?

If you allow me, may I ask you where this interest to FreeBSD stems from?

the wikipedia linux article with the linux development tree

do you think that FreeBSD will be less of a hassle compared to “other more niche linux OSs”?

I have no idea

Linux Mint Edge Edition

is Edge a desktop environment or a system that lets you use other DEs later? I'm partial to xfce.

I thought every DE gets the same kernel patches.

is there really a reason to switch?

just considering my options

that command returns

GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer, GLX_MESA_query_renderer, GLX_MESA_swap_control, GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer, GLX_MESA_query_renderer, GLX_MESA_swap_control, Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer): OpenGL renderer string: Mesa Intel(R) HD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2)

will do, thanks

yup

thanks for the input

I need to use one of these https://github.com/Skyedra/UnspamifyUbuntu not to get an invitation to join ubuntu pro each time I upgrade.

this never happened before. To me this is invasive, but otherwise it has worked well so far.
