Hello everyone, I'm an user of Piped and Libretube for Youtube. I love being de-Googled. But what's the major difference (excluding metadata) about using Youtube only from browser (with Security-Privacy oriented browser, auto-deleted cookies per tab, without account) vs using Piped?

Thanks.

Hello everybody! I can say I'm a newbie at Linux. Wanted to ask about Linux' task viewers. On the famous task viewers such as bpytop, htop etc., can viruses hide from them? Excluding the injected codes, can virus & tracker/logger softwares hide from classic task viewers of Linux? Do they show all kinds of services and running tasks?

Hello friends, I am using custom css' on my Librewolf. Downloaded FF-ULTIMA and it looks cool. I have looked at its all .css files as stranger for css. As far as my view, there is no problem but can these css files cause any security or privacy vulnerability? Like, being injectable or the creator of theme can track us or not? It may seem a funny question but idk much about css language. Just wanted to asking. Am I safe with it?

Hello guys! I have done a fresh install of Arch Linux with KDE. The first thing to do was downloading Librewolf but there is an issue. I used an installation way that is without an AUR helper. And the package named librewolf-bin. System updated, git command executed, changed directory to librewolf-bin, executed the makepkg -si. But it couldn't verify PGP signatures.

Hello guys, I'm using Arch as a newbie. Learning about it. But worried about a thing. When I was creating the bootable media for install it, I downloaded the .iso and .iso.sig from any mirror that is near. I followed the things about verification of .iso but I got some errors and gave up. Just used the iso I didn't verificated. I am using the OS that iso installed. There is nothing wrong with usage. I can access all the things about Arch, not had any problems and any performance issues. No special internet usage, no broken things etc. but I'm a bit worried about is there any malicious software such as keyloggers, mining softwares... Can I verify my Arch after the installation? Can I see if there is any software malicious via htop-bpytop? Should I create the bootable media again with verification and reinstall my Arch?

What type of Services? And do Signal use our contacts or something private like that for third-parties?

Hi guys, I was looking for matrix.org's and Element Client's privacy policies and I saw something that says Matrix and Element shares data with AWS (Amazon Web Service), Cloudflare, Mythic Beasts, UpCloud. Is it safe to use? The matrix.org has good features as FOSS, decentralized etc. But this seem a lil bad. Any experts about prviacy?

Can't download Librewolf in Arch Linux + KDE Plasma 6

I'm trying to download it from AUR but it gives me error about gpg and closed DNS. Can't import the keys.

As a newbie Arch user, I got bored to use Gnome or KDE. I want to use Hyprland as my desktop environment. Like what I see at social media. But there is different ways to download it as far as I see. Somethings called Hyprdots, additional things like Waybar etc. and these making me confused. How can I download it and make it look like as the things I saw on the Internet? Don't want to be wannabe, just I don't know how to set it up.

I was Nobara user, then I am using Fedora right now. I want to use things like Hyprland etc. and ya know, Its damn cool to say I am using arch btw. So I've decided to use Arch Linux. But everyone says its always breaking and gives problems. That's because of users, not OS.. right? I love to deal with problems but I don't want to waste my time. Is Arch really problemful OS? Should I use it? I know what to do with setup/ usage, the hardness of Arch is not problem for me but I am just concerned about the mindset "Arch always gets broken".
