    No one should buy a laptop with every single fucking component soldered on. Fuck Apple and every company that does what they do. Get yourself a Framework laptop or one from an actual Linux vendor like System76, Tuxedo, Starlabs…etc. That way you’re able to upgrade your shit down the road when you need to. Apple shit is you get what you get.





  • They tried to make it with “respecting privacy” and all that shit that they never really cared about yo to begin with and was just bullshit to try to get people to switch over. Now, they’re going the other route where they’re just another data mining platform like YouTube. Use Tubular. It’s a frontend for YouTube without the bullshit. You just can’t sign in and comment. Or you can use GrayJay. It connects to several platforms at once, like YouTube, rumble, Odessy…etc










  • Pop os has an app store called “pop shop”, that has both apt and flatpaks. Get all of your apps from there. They also have an app installed called “eddy” that you can use to install .deb packages in case an app is not available in their app store and you had to download the .deb package for it. Also, I know pop os has an outdated desktop, but they’ve been working tirelessly on their rust based cosmic desktop and it’s coming along pretty nicely (an alpha release is coming soon). They do maintain their current distro no problem. I honestly would stick with it and set it up to your liking. It’s a very good distro. As for your OneDrive, that can work with Linux no problem. You can also use Google drive on Linux.
