Ive been using Gnome with Fedora ever since I switched to Linux. So far it has been smooth sailing. I would say the choice of distro doesn't matter that much, both Mint and Fedora are very easy to use. Just pick one with the Desktop Environment you like the most. If you are not sure, test them on a Virtual Machine.

You do you, but it's better if everyone donates a bit of money to a lot of projects than donating a ton of money to a single project. It's not like a single individual with a normal salary could fund a project alone anyways.

Let's suppose that 10 people have 10 dollars to give each, and there are 4 projects which they all use: Project A is the most important for 7 people, so they recieve $70. Then comes project B with $20 and C with $10. Project D gets no donations.

But if we ponderate them by average importance it would be: A=0.5, B=0.3, C=0.15 and D=0.05. If they had split their donations, the allocation of funding would have been way more efficient.

Since you're interested in traveling, I would say french. It is spoken in a very wide variety of countries all over the world, you have a lot of resources to learn it and it's related to the other languages to know. Other languages might have more speakers, but if youre just interested in the visiting a lot of wholly different places, it is probably the best one.

making it harder for many* to escape.

many: rich people

I mean, those are valid concerns. Most messaging apps require a server to be running at all times. If there is only one centralized server, costs will start to pile up, so they'll need a way to make money; either by asking for donations, making a paid tier or by selling your data.

They are being ironic here

I have to agree on the DaVinci Code, it's impossible to get pass the first chapter.

It's really more like being called Indiana Jones or Washington Jones

Are you referring to websites that use WebGl like Google Earth? If that is the case, there is an option for enabling it on settings.

I had no idea. Thanks for telling me! In that case, im going to try to use the ones from IzzyOnDroid if avaliable

Edit: According to their docs, they do take some special security measures and I couldn't find a case of an app offered on FDroid which had malware.

The closest to that would be Codeberg. It's a nice initiative, and some big projects like LibreWolf are already using it.
