Did you? You're suggesting that someone who wants to learn how to maintain a car build one from scratch. It's drastically overshooting the assignment.
From the "Prerequisites" section of LFS:
Building an LFS system is not a simple task. It requires a certain level of existing knowledge of Unix system administration in order to resolve problems and correctly execute the commands listed. In particular, as an absolute minimum, you should already know how to use the command line (shell) to copy or move files and directories, list directory and file contents, and change the current directory. It is also expected that you know how to use and install Linux software.
Just start using it. Set up a dual boot if you really need access to Windows still, but try not to use it as much as possible. You learn by running into problems or holes in your knowledge, and solving those issues will fill in other gaps.
There are plenty of video series if you want to listen to advice before diving in, but there's no teacher like experience.
Yeah SteamOS is nothing special. Any of the big distros can give you a similarly solid gaming experience these days.
If anything I'd expect the opposite; many people with fresh tattoos are constantly applying sunscreen to keep it protected
I've been enjoying Tauon, it does the things I want
No, but that's a local program processing and saving data entirely on your system. It's a world of difference from what a web browser does, which is oversee a whole suite of protocols connecting you to remote servers and transmitting data back and forth in requests that build on and reference each other. With the complexity of modern web interactions, there's a ton of reasons why a browser might need to store your data and share it with others, even ignoring profit-seeking motives.
And let's remember that the last thing Mozilla got heat for was the introduction of a method to anonymize bulk user data for sharing & selling purposes, as opposed to the granular, extremely invasive tracking that 99% of websites are doing these days.
I see a company that needs to make a decent amount of money in a crazy competitive environment, that's trying their best to do so in the way least destructive to user privacy and choice.
I more meant that the average user actually wants a significant amount of data collection and telemetry, as part of their normal web usage. There are some true privacy geeks who are actually maintaining near-anonymity on the modern internet, but there's a lot of people who get riled up about things like this while using Android phones, or signing up for loyalty programs, using corporate social media, etc.
Deluge is another good client -- I'm not sure why but its defaults gave me much better download speeds than transmission or qbittorrent
You're not totally wrong here, but the fact is that these updates are a complete non-issue that has only resulted in so much backlash because of the self-selected Firefox audience of people who know enough about tech and privacy to care, but not enough to understand what's actually threatening. The updates were a minor change in language that didn't change the status quo, but idiots like the guy who thinks that incognito mode somehow stops a site from gathering information on you flock to these articles and start crying doomsday.
Mozilla is the only big web company that's even close to on the side of consumers and it's sad to see them eat shit for no reason.
ZSA Voyager is great, but it's ergo so neither ISO nor ANSI.
