“better” is kind of implied when you suggest “alternatives”.

Only with context, which is kind of what I was trying to say. The context was Firefox users who are not happy with its current direction, or people looking for a secondary browser. That kind of makes the only necessary criteria "Not Firefox". Everything else is the creator's opinions of which ones you "must try".

Sorry, I left this ambiguous. My intended context was that the person you were replying to didn't mention Ecosia's privacy.

I don't see them claiming it is

This has absolutely never been my experience. Many people actually say Wine is a better choice for running legacy windows games and applications.

I dislike Windows as much as the next guy, and recognize this is just a rant. However:

  1. Might be more HP's fault than Windows
  2. Might be mire Zoom's fault than Windows (though Windows audio is a gongshow)
  3. Just use OpenSSH from Command Prompt or Powershell. It should be preinstalled I think but if not can be installed through Programs and Features) in Windows 10 and above.

Installing is just following directions. It's maintaining it after you Frankenstein the hell out of it that most new users struggle with

there is no proprietary AMD Linux driver

I mean, there is. It just isn't recommended for most users.

FYI: If you aren't aware, Arch has a CLI installer now that is very easy to use, should you ever want to give it a try (archinstall)

Endeavour is basically Arch with a more user friendly installer, a very small number of their own packages, and a coat of paint.

Manjaro is similar, except Manjaro runs their own repositories and delays packages for testing. This can lead to a whole bunch of issues when combined with the AUR. The team leading it has also been shown to be a little inept at times. I wouldn't personally recommend it.
