  Paying for a text editor, who doesn’t like that?

  Why do you think LineageOS is way less secure?

  Honestly WiFi support, it isn’t as bad as it was before but still some really popular cards like RTL8821CE aren’t properly supported (i know there is a dkms driver but it isn’t properly maintained and doesn’t work for the latest kernel versions).

  Wasted on F-Droid.

  What does this have anything to do with RCS?

  You can use Invidious, Piped.video or FreeTube if you’re on a computer. If you’re on something like a mobile phone use GrayJay or NewPipe. If you want to continue using YouTube normally, Brave’s adblocker blocks those pop-ups completely. Also if you use Ublock try updating the filters.

  If yoı don’t have much Linux experience, probably Ubuntu or Nobara. You don’t need to use the terminal just as much in these distros.

  uBlock blocks most trackers already. Also using Fingerprinting protection via another extension or if you’re on Firefox on its settings, they probably won’t get much data on you with ads.

  Shut down your phone completely before sleeping. Airplane mode might work also but I’m not really sure.
