This is the salient point that's hard to communicate.

We've moved to fdroid and others because we're trying to avoid the scammers on the Play Store.

Semantics, no? Side loading is an alternate way of installing.

You patient enough to build a distro for yourself?

If so, Gentoo.

That's great to hear! Welcome, and have frustrating fun!

If you don't mind me asking; in your context, what does "leftist" mean? When I hear the term, it's usually meant as a pejorative for some nebulous group the utterer doesn't like.

The transition won't be painless. You're going to have to learn new things, especially if you're familiar with the windows file system and how to work within that.

Linux doesn't use "drive letters" for mount points, so you'll have to learn that.

Many games through steam or other game managers are just as easy if not easier than in Windows. Some are more challenging.

If you're tired enough of Windows that you're willing to push through some discomfort and new learning, then it's time.

Once you get to know the distro you choose (Ubuntu is fine), you'll just work, and it won't get in your way.

When I was younger, there use to be "public service announcements" on TV that provided education for the kids and adults watching.

The underpaid clerk already sells booze and cigarettes.

The age token would be free at the time of acquisition (paid by taxes of course).

Yes, you'd get the "buy me a porn token please!" request behind the 7-11, but I'd bet it would be far less frequent than requests to buy booze.

I agree, children shouldn't be on tiktok or any of these kinds of platforms.

And yes, it should be social pressure rather than legal pressure.

What I like about the convenience store idea, is that the certification process is decentralized. An app wouldn't be.

This is how it works in Estonia?
