Bazzite is good for noobs looking for a gaming option because it’s “immutable” which means the OS filesystem can’t be edited, which makes it nearly impossible to break.
Mint is still very noob friendly, just not immutable. Both are solid options because neither one requires any command line to get it on-par with Windows.
I am trying out Kinoite now but it’s very similar. I think the immutable distros are best for people who want a “Just works” experience to start with.

This is a good point, I actually made that mistake once! It required their app to setup.
I’m all for making tons of accounts to use Google Drive/Mega/Dropbox/etc to distribute files, even if they have crappy privacy practices, you don’t need to share any real information with them anyway
A valid phone number is needed for Google accounts
Amcrest seems to be the cheapest and I have good experience with them and Frigate
Not sure how Kagi will help with my supermarket loyalty card but thanks anyway
Tried and couldn’t! Was hoping someone here could highlight something I missed but seems no.
Eh, not really. I don’t use google and I block trackers anyway.
How is that not 95%?
