Linux as the operating system

Or Haiku

I love you, man! 😄🧡

#Haiku

2 browsers, 1 with nos2x or nos2x-fox, the other without. Both with ad blockers, or just make Brave one of them, even though it's also not actually the best for privacy/security.

Open source versions of any tools they might use, like libreoffice, or LMMS+Audacity if they're into making music, or kdenlive if they might try starting a YouTube channel or something.

This is very helpful! Will pass it along to them!

#LMMS 🍻🎵🎶🧡🧡🧡

#uBlock Origin Browser extension

#TorBrowser

#VPN client like #OpenVPN or #Wireguard

#Librewulf Browser

What OS do you have?

They’re currently just on windows 11.

I’ll bring up LibreWulf!!

You’re the second I’ve seen mention wireguard today.. Will check it out.

Go for Linux. Just spend some time on #windows to convince yourself…

Thank you!
