Yes, most DEs use X11. I dont think that is a good thing. XFCE will take a bit to implement Wayland (approx 2 years according to their update schedule).
Better for newbies because it is harder to break.
Privacy.com allows you to create virtual cards, allowing you to set up rules for how money can be used through them. It also masks the receipt details that your bank would normal get access to so they can't sell that data about what you purchased.
XFCE will within the next 2 years.
Nah, I personally dont like its look, Ubuntu base, and slow update schedule. I think Bluefin or Aurora would be better starting distros.
Uses the heavily deprecated XOrg display manager. XOrg has no isolation of windows from each other, meaning any app can record your screen without notice. All XOrg apps can also log keyboard presses arbitrarily. Since all apps share the same display server, they can easy correlate keypresses (text) with what app it is entered in, kinda like Windows Recall. Cinnamon, Mate, and XFCE all use XOrg. Cinnamon still doesnt default to Wayland.
I used tee -a because that is how I have seen it recommended. If it works without then do that instead.
Replying to remind you.
It does not use adblock plus lists directly. The lists are hosted by Cromite. uBlock Origin is not available for any android chromium browser (other than kiwi I guess). The adblocker works well from my tests. I recommend adding filterlists from https://divested.dev/pages/dnsbl
