Well, for the users, I guess this is a lesson for them to not bank on a Big Tech company like Apple to cover their financial credit and transactions.

While I largely agree with the options that Tuta provides, I think the article could've been more succinct and to the point if they condensed all the Firefox forks like PaleMoon and WaterFox under one category. Also, I'm not sure if Brave should be on this list, not just because of their Chromium foundation but also because of their use of cryptocurrency, something I consider very suspicious and unsustainable. Finally, I question whether DuckDuckGo should be on the list. True, they are more private when compared to Google and all, but aren't they limited to what they can block through their contract with Microsoft? I remember hearing/reading something about that.
You're absolutely right about PeerTube. However, given the recent decisions made by YouTube and its parent company on adblocking, I think we might see a surge in PeerTube content and development soon.
One thing I have noticed in the past year is that whenever Big Tech services become compromised or make controversial decisions, the Fediverse equivalent starts to bloom. I joined Mastodon and Lemmy earlier this year because of the controversies surrounding X and Reddit. Now that YouTube has done the same, I think we will soon see a "great migration" to PeerTube.
Just my two cents.
I believe this has been going on for a while now. It's one of the reasons why I switched over to Proton Mail.
Linux Mint with a secondary partition running EndeavourOS
Didn't Robocop teach us not to do this? I mean, wasn't that the whole point of the ED-209 robot?
It's not my primary driver, but I would gladly choose KDE over Windows.
Well, if YouTube videos haven't been much help to you, then perhaps these books will give you what you want:
Hmmm...given the beginner friendly nature of distros like Linux Mint and Pop OS, I doubt you will find much tutorials centered around those distros (though you will definitely find a lot of commentators and reviewers talking about these distros and how "great" they are). However, if you want to learn about Linux as a whole, then there are definitely some great resources you can use to help you with that.
What is your preferred learning method? Do you like learning through reading, or do you prefer an online video tutorial where someone is simultaneously talking and demonstrating?
Definitely yes! Pop OS is one of the best distros for starters, along with Linux Mint. Basic tasks like web browsing, playing games, and writing docs all work well on Pop OS. If you have familiarity with macOS, you'll notice that Pop OS is very similar when it comes to layout and certain multi-touch gestures.
Don't forget about the Firefox forks like LibreWolf!
Well, I guess now is as good a time as any to become a pirate. Drink up me hearties, yo-ho!
