kagi has abandoned orion on linux and windows, and is open sourcing their codease. so, at least it is now? hope some brave volunteer will carry on with the vision.

many sites do this for cookies, no one cares about GDPR. hell, The sun is literally based in the UK and while they aren’t in the EU now they still have a GDPR implementation, yet they’ve been doing this for years.

Yeah, it’s funny when people shit on Linux just because people care enough to disclose vulnerabilities. Trust me that any proprietary system has just as many; they just get silently patched in this month’s security update.

Computers are finicky things; the amount of known CVEs is simply a measure of how many people pentest the software and how big the project is, rather than any statement about its security.

I’d say mint is great for non tech people (90% of the time it’s the DE and GUI apps that are important rather than the distro, but mint has good ones by default). For former windows power users I’d recommend CachyOS or Fedora. Either way, you can boot from USB for any of these as a live demo; I have images for all 3 + memtest on my ventoy USB.

Guess it’s too late now, but mint has an option for automatic updates.
