It's disappointing that they prefer X, Bluesky and Threads over something like Mastodon.
Just go through the settings and you will probably be able to judge urself what to change.
You can also choose to install an Content Blocker, like uBlock Origin + other extensions which might be beneficial depending on ur threat model.
You can optionally check out following:
- ClearURLs (probably unecessary if use uBO with appropriate filters + ETP, but you can still used it in addition)
- CanvasBlocker (slightly advanced), JShelter (advanced)
- LocalCDN (fork of decentralised eyes)
- Auto Referer
- LibRedirect
- NoScript
SimpleLogin, Addy.io, Adguard Tempmail
You're welcome :)

I tbh would say, just go with Kubuntu. You can always switch afterwards when you end up not liking it, especially the fact that family members use it can be helpful.
