Lenovo is cheaper than ASUS. Also I feel their Linux support is better than Asus's. Recently installed an EndeavourOS on my friend's Lenovo, and every single thing is working as expected.

I believe I was on PopOS then. Now I am on EndeavorOS.

I was having problems with NTFS HDDs when I was dual booting. Needing to get into windows for solving them. Then I ditched Windows, reformatted my drives to EXT4 and never looked back.

But now I am using EXT4 with LUKS for encryption.

Luckily DNS is somewhat decentralized.

NTFS reads/writes fine on Linux. But if anything goes wrong then you might need a utility to fix it (Mostly caused by sudden unplugging). If you have the option, I would suggest you format and the media drive in EXT4. Mind you, EXT4 can only be read by Linux systems.

But how can we, at the other end, understand that?

Are there any communities where I can find funny dystopian memes like these?

In my opinion, the worst Android flavor among the popular ones is the Samsung's One UI. Notoriously bad in terms of tracking and telemetry. Yeah these Chinese ROMs are certainly bad, but where I am from, these are few and far between.

The worst thing about Samsung is the inability to install any Custom ROM despite it being a Snapdragon chip. Other manufactures like Xiaomi or OnePlus sometimes let's users do that (albeit the process might be a little difficult).

But to answer your question, look into LineageOS's supported device list. Pick a device from there and install LineageOS. Or better still by a Pixel (there are talks about a partnership with an unknown OEM and GOS, but no clear news on that as of yet) and install GrapheneOS.

Essentially nothing. They copied the shortcuts from Thunar and Dolphin for copy paste.

For FOSS I don't care that much if it has a bad name. But if the website seems sus (like with 8 different trackers), then I am getting out.
