An efficient solution would to just stop using Google's services all together. That way they can't spy on you so easily and make a profile from your internet habits.

There are plenty of alternatives to Google services in the opensource realm.

"Core apps" are better on baremetal for seamless system integration.

Just use flatpaks for everything else.

Yeah, maybe Slowroll is better for for that kind of bandwidth limitation. It is still pretty fast paced in the update department.

When I installed Tumbleweed not so long ago, I also had problems. The installer is notorious for giving you an unusable system sometimes, even when using the defaults.

I have been running Tumbleweed "stock" on my desktop for about 10 months now and truth to be told I never had a problem with it, including updates. Rock stable with a nice snapshot feature as a safety net.

That's why I'll wait to install Kalpa on the desktop. Just no reason for it.

I have of course run into bugs but those came from KDE. Can't really blame Tumbleweed for those.

In fact, Tumbleweed is the reason I went all in with Linux and ditched dual booting Windows, as I had been bit pretty hard early on my linux journey with other distros and made me think twice using Linux as a daily-reliable-driver.

Yes, I couldn't even use whoogle with the free tier as I got ratelimited on normal search queries.

Needless to say that many ppl share the same (proton vpn IP) on the free tier.

Google Maps as well. Very inaccurate at times.

Well well well... We have a Google fanboy here.

While you at it, route all your traffic though Google's new and shiny proxy, for that extra privacy peace of mind. /s

Yeah, I second Freetube on PC.

Even has sponsor block built in.

Works on Linux (flatpak) as well.

Well of course. Now all your traffic goes through proxies to Google's servers for analytics.

100℅ data harvesting.

Genius move by Google. Even calls it a security/privacy measure!

They will succeed too. Most of the human race are Neanderthals anyway. Couldn't care less.
