I don't think there's one single effective guide that teaches you everything. I don't even think you need to learn everything right from the beginning. I just watched a bunch of DistroTube, The Linux Experiment, LearnLinuxTV and Mental Outlaw videos, and grew my skills over time. And the best way to learn it is just to install and start using it IMO. If you need help with something, search for a solution on the web, or ask in a Lemmy community, forum or chat room. I also recommend taking some notes about what you learned, so that you can reference it later. Any note-taking app will do it, but I specifically like Obsidian for this. Also consider saving guides/threads/videos that you found useful, if you might need them again at some point.

Personally I run everything behind a VPN. Browsing the web without one kinda feels like a bad idea, like why should I expose my approximate home location to every website I go to and every server I connect to? Why should I let my ISP see which websites I'm visiting? And why should I trust my government to have access to all of that data?

the only affected IPs are of Invidious instances

That's not true, I just got a "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" message on the official fucking YouTube website using Firefox behind Mullvad VPN. It's also very common to see this on Piped instances. The invidious team seems to have developed a fix though: https://github.com/iv-org/youtube-trusted-session-generator

WriteFreely and Plume are based on ActivityPub and can be followed from the Fediverse (in addition to RSS of course)

Wtf is run0

Edit: Is that nyx flake made by the same guys as the Chaotic AUR repo for arch?

It's great for offline, singleplayer games. Unfortunately some multiplayer games just refuse to work on Linux, because of the anti-cheat. But I mostly use my Steam Deck when I'm traveling and have a very poor or no internet connection, so I can only play singleplayer games anyway.

That's what I've been trying to tell my boss for the last 6 months...

Torvalds actually hates GitHub

I'd say Nix requires some experience, so if you are new to Linux, definitely go with Flatpak. I believe Flatpak also provides stronger sandboxing.

Oh that's cool. Looks very promising.
