Comment on Major privacy question (linux distro)

Although I get the idea, going all in on the privacy would mean you can never log in with a single account you have since they bind it to your ip and you’ve lost. Also using vpns all the time or tor if possible/necessary. Imo, its far too much work to go full paranoia mode.
So I‘m running debian stable with kde (dont do it on nvidia!) and pop os on a laptop. Firefox, adblock plus and pihole do most of the heavy lifting. Gaming, working and other activities on the same machine works well without vms. I do use vms in specific dev Environments though.
For kids, an immutable distro sounds like a great idea. Good luck and have a nice day.

I already use VPNs/for for 99% of my daily browsing/activities on my personal PCs, is there a higher chance of account lockout with VPNs on linux besides a few services like Netflix?

Debian stable is pretty much a meme since it prioritizes stability over everything else. So you get the oldest kernel and will get the latest features months after every other distro. Since kde has only recently gotten wayland+nvidia support, it is pretty janky on debian stable still. It just makes no sense imo for a desktop pc. Pop is way better.

Oh that makes sense, thanks.
