Yes.
Oh no.
Anyway, glad that Mastodon isn't down due to it's decentralized nature. That's something bad actors (such as those who are doing that DDOS) and most users (which make the mstdn.social instance and a few other ones, the main ~80% of all Mastodon) fail to to understand, the beauty of it.
(Still feeling bad for the instance and it's users, despite the sarcastic tone)
Similarly, there's System Admin Girl★まんがでわかるLinux シス管系女子 Imported a physical edition just for the quirky factor of a Linux Admin manga, but it is pretty well made and does explain pretty well some bits (even if from the first episode, they explain how to do VNC if i remember, from a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS desktop, so fairly easy and old) but it still on-going !
It's a scraper. And, in theory, it shouldn't even cause any issues with ReVanced modified Youtube patches except if they need to be updated.
Just an ad. It even has mistakes, such as GPC support and auto-redirect to HTTPS.
If you believe Google is the most reliable, you can still use it in a private way via :
- Startpage
Startpage is a private search engine known for serving Google and Bing search results. One of Startpage's unique features is the Anonymous View, which puts forth efforts to standardize user activity to make it more difficult to be uniquely identified. The feature can be useful for hiding some network and browser properties.
- SearxNG https://searxng.org/
SearXNG is an open-source, self-hostable, metasearch engine, aggregating the results of other search engines while not storing any information itself.
There's plenty of public instances too https://searx.space/
Get Google search results, but without any ads, JavaScript, AMP links, cookies, or IP address tracking. Easily deployable in one click as a Docker app, and customizable with a single config file.
Couple of public instances too. Basically SearxNG with ONLY google as a source. https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search#public-instances
Worthy actual open-source alternatives :
- YunoHost https://yunohost.org/ GPL3
- FreedomBox https://freedombox.org/ DFSG (Debian Project)
- Sandstorm https://sandstorm.org/ Apache V2
- CasaOS https://www.casaos.io/ Apache V2
- startOS https://start9.com/ MIT
- homelabOS https://homelabos.com/ MIT
However, I still use UmbrelOS as compared to all of those, It's the only one which seems to work well with my RPI4 and the connected drive with it, despite my modest Linux knowledge (Fedora and Arch on mobile user), and Umbrel being unsecure and retaining app versions compared to upstream.
Actually, it's far more limited than those options. The main advantage however, is the Manifest V3 support of it, meaning that such extension can be used on limited web browser that enforce it. Which isn't a lot.
Here's an actual FOSS cross-platform alternative with Windows, Mac and Linux (Need to be manually compiled and still experimental) https://screen-play.app https://gitlab.com/kelteseth/ScreenPlay
Try helping ScreenPlay support Linux, it's probably the closest alternative other than that kde-plasma reverse engineering port of Wallpaper Engine. You just need to compile it manually. https://screen-play.app/ https://gitlab.com/kelteseth/ScreenPlay
Doesn't seems like it. Had some difficulties finding it, because it's mostly only on Telegram

You'll get plenty of answers with different suggestions, so I'll suggest checking in that community for plenty of previous answers. I would say to stick with "main" known distribution and to ditch specialized ones. https://linux-myths.pages.dev/Single-Maintainer https://linux-myths.pages.dev/Distros
I'm on Nobara but despite the fantastic work of GloriousEggRoll, it did had it's lot of breakage which made me want to switch to the suggested uBlue Fedora atomic builds, per those criterias.
