Tails and Whonix is definitely overkill. And given your description of nonexisten linux experience, it’s not recommended. But it’s not the usual daily-driver distro anyway.
Fedora is nice. Fedora has a leaning on FOSS projects, which if you need to install a proprietary software, you’d have to enable additional repository. It’s not always inherently privacy-respecting, but it has great defaults, then everything else is depends on what users install and configure.
But do expect a changing workflow from Windows, because Linux is simply different. So whatever distro you pick, it definitely require time for you to get used to it.
If you ever have used Photoshop then moved to GIMP, it require you to change how you work with it. For example, in PS you can edit individual RGBA channel independently, while in GIMP you’d have to decompose each channel into layers, edit, then recompose them into single channel. Things are different. You wouldn’t get used in a day.
I’d suggest dualbooting Linux & Windows for several months, so you can explore Linux while you can still use Windows as needed. And by exploring Linux, you can also read/watch online resources to see how people use it or see people’s review.
If you go with Fedora, bear in mind that the installer is different from other popular distros. Confirm/next/back button is at the top, mind you. See the documentation while installing. Just giving you a notice because some people complaining that the installer is hard. But once it’s installed, it typical GNOME experience and best for touch gestures as you need (if you go with the main Fedora Workstation download).
I thought they’re doing review in the way they’re receiving cryptocurrency donation, and pause cryptocurrency donation, not exactly cancelling.
Even the article itself quoted it:
“Starting today we are reviewing if and how our current policy on crypto donations fits with our climate goals, and as we conduct our review, we will pause the ability to donate cryptocurrency.”
Yeah, GNOME on Wayland. Not only the DE, some GNOME apps also utilize the touch gestures.
But also if you use Firefox (or forks), make it to run on Wayland MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 (or simply enabling wayland on FlatSeal if installed via Flatpak). They you can have pinch-to-zoom feature in the web view. It’s pretty good.
About the OSK, you can enable the screen keyboard on the gnome-settings in accessibility section, the OSK will appear when a textbox is clicked.
but about the long-press to right click, I don’t know anything. But just like in laptop touchpad, I think you can just do two-fingers touch to right click. Basically various gestures are to be used with some variation of finger count and swipe movement.
I’m disappointed with Odysee that it’s pretty unusable via Tor.
Edit: once again I tried, I managed to use it for around 5 minutes in Tor. Last month I did 2 tries, the first one had an authentication error after I logged in. In the next day, I managed to log in and use for a minute or two, then having another authentication error.
I guess it’s hit-or-miss.
All I know is that there’s one Reddit admin cheating on r/Place, by rapidly putting pixels on top of other’s drawing with no cooldown, unlike every other r/Place participants. If it’s about them censoring something, I don’t really know. This one Reddit admins is previously also known for banning shitpost sub r/2balkan4you. But I don’t really follow r/2balkan4you either.
If there’s something else going on in r/Place, I don’t really know.
