with the opt-out the data really isn't very dramatic stuff (the biggie is statistics on frequency of application use, for the usual legacy support reasons). e: it is pretty interesting to sift through the stuff though, if one ups diagnostics it does spew a lot of stuff: https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9N8WTRRSQ8F7 Cybernetic Vermin fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Mar 15, 2020 |

The Nvidia driver can be enabled after install using the software tool and the software you listed can mostly if not completely be installed via its GUI software app. no, just no, everything in this post is stupid

You should probably start with Gentoo or another source-based distribution. That is the simplest way to get very familiar with Linux. Alternatively, have you heard of GNU/Hurd? It's very secure because unlike Linux, where Wifi doesn't work, on Hurd networking doesn't work at all.

gently caress mint, even vanilla ubuntu is better go with fedora or ubuntu or opensuse, drop the derivatives (even tough ubuntu is technically one itself)

I haven't personally used it and it's nothing special, but PopOS is known to handle Nvidia drivers well if you don't feel like wrangling them yourself. It's basically Ubuntu With More Features. Nvidia drivers aren't too hard but they're enough of a hassle that I wouldn't advise it for a beginner, and Pop OS has several other nice-to-have's for people who don't really want to Learn Linux just to do things.

in 2021, all the yospos regulars will be dead from chainsmoking and catching covid-19, and then it will just be dudes with "stupid newbie" blank avatars shouting at each other about their favorite ubuntu fork in between posting screenshots of lolicon desktop wallpaper (i.e. it will become the ars openforum)
