Explaining Computers has been a huge boon to the continuation of my desire to support open software and hardware as the host is extremely knowledgeable and routinely does guides and showcases for these things. I cannot recommend his videos enough.

I have a non-techy friend already using Linux Mint competently, and I think this video is a great bridging of the gap if you've been desiring to make the switch.

For those who are not aware, Invidious is a free-and-open-source front-end application for YouTube that anyone can host. People use/host Invidious use it for watching YouTube without all the creepy trackers and stuff, or to customize their YT watching experience. The above is not necessarily a scam link like it appears (which is the first thought that comes to my paranoid brain).

Yes, youtube is the real scam. I just opened the youtube link with libredirect and got that link. Here's more info about it: https://libredirect.github.io/

Linux the way to go. I have not used other systems for my computing since 2002. Linux is a joy to use free of the duplicitous shit that infects the corporate software GodKings systems. Linux is highly compatible and consistent with Bitcoin and IMO far safer for use with Bitcoin than the corporate state surveillance Windows and Apple shitware.

As Rear Admiral Grace Hopper always repeated, make sure to analyze the cost of doing something vs. not doing something at all and prioritize accordingly :)
