Its good if everything you need can run from Kodi. It uses its own Linux distribution in the background, so you won’t really be able to install anything else unless you build it.

I would avoid anything built into the TV.

1. Its starting to be used for spying on you
2. The chip they come with are usually not that good unless it’s a high end TV.
3. They are building ads right into the TV themselves.

I would not connect the TV to the internet and use a external media player. Either a Nvidia shield or an Apple TV is your best bet.

You can also try building a media player yourself using a small computer.

Note - The self made media player will be more limited in terms of apps available, unfortunately, as well as streaming quality from some of the streaming services.

You can probably do some more advance tasks via CLI. Also usually lists information faster. But honestly you will be overall fine with GUI a majority of the time.

Some people just like being in the terminal.

Yes, sometimes.

I basically move and transform data.

Given you are using niche forum software. Yes, most likely.

These rumors/stories, whatever you want to call them, is all new to me, but its just a way to dehumanize a certain group and therefore helping to justify labelling them the new boogieman.

ELI5 Its a way to make a group of people appear less human and different from yourself. This makes it easier to not relate to them and use them as a bad/ evil example of something you want to avoid.

I think you are confusing private with anonymous. One can be private without being anonymous.

Its due to compression of the video in order to fit on a MMS message, which is very small. Android uses RCS as a new message standard that can send bigger files but Apple has yet to add it to their OS. Its similar to how Apple uses iMessage to do the same, however this is not a standard and is locked to only apple devices.

Apple is supposedly adding support for RCS during the new iOS update but until then you can use a different messaging app to send better/larger files.

I recommend Signal as it is easy to sign up and start using while also being private.

You should be fine doing what you want on Linux. Just make sure everything works before installing completely. There is a liveUSB mode that let’s you try it before you install.

Mint and PoP os are good ones to try.

Can also check out Zorin os which is pretty good too but doesn’t update as often.

Overall works well. Sizing is a bit large but can be worth it for the universal distribution.

Allows for more software to get out there.

Signal is probably the simplest to get started with.

There is also element/matrix for more of a discord type feel.

SimpleX if you want something more anonymous.

Isn’t matrix more like slack that you are looking for?

• Customizable, yes
• Gif, no

Go to the Settings -> System -> Multiple Users. Allow multiple users.

Without much context all I can suggest is PowerAmp for music player. It is a paid app.

Eternity for Lemmy.

Heliboard for a more private keyboard.

Newpipe for YouTube.

From my experience, you have to use google services for the 2fa to work on Yubikey. You can work around this by using a TOTP and storing it on the key. There is a Yubikey app that can read the tokens that doesn’t require google services. Another approach is make a separate profile that has a google account active on it and just keep those apps there to use the Yubikey on.

Some banking apps require extra work in their settings permissions to get them to work. Try turning off some of the extra security measures for app in the app permissions settings. See if that can get them to work.

Messaging is going to be broken unless both parties use an internet based messenger, like signal or iMessage. SMS is very restrictive. RCS may help fix this when it launched to iOS but it seems to break on graphene. Probably the same reason banking apps break.

1. Fallout - Tale of two wastelands…hopefully that counts as one game, if not then Skyrim. For the endless mods.

2. Hades or Binding of Issac - for the infinite replayability.

3. Minecraft - for the creative aspect of building and lots of content.

Haven’t tried it myself yet but you can check out brazzite

Gaming focused distro.

Also pop os has been pretty good to me, but it is on the old side at the moment until they update everything near the last quarter of the year.
