  • Could you provide some criteria for what you’re looking for in the way of security? Wayland is far better for security than Xorg, but it’s hard to say how much it varies between wayland compositors. I can’t imagine it would matter too much, but depending on how much security you’re looking for, choosing more minimal software is probably better. Rust can be better for security but I’m not entirely sure how much can really get compromised through poor memory management in a window manager.

    Brave is hands down the best chromium based browser for privacy. They do a lot under the hood to block trackers and ads. I would do a little more research into ungoogled chromium. Imo it’s better to have a whole community and company backing a browser like Brave rather than a few developers basically patching source code and shipping it.

    Yeah, my attention span is also messed up because of the internet, but it’s not the internet’s fault necessarily, just how efficiently it provides people with what they want. These algorithms, which are intended to keep people in their respective websites or apps, are so good that we get comfortable being entertained instead of seeking out something that we genuinely like. Consider before, people tuned in at the exact time on the exact day to watch the next episode of X or Y show, then it switched to on demand streaming, and now the way people like to consume shorter form media (~10-20 mins) is recommendations from algorithms. My attention span was already shit from start, but the way I try to improve it a little is to seek out and choose what I would like to watch rather than have something recommend it to me. If you want to go a step further, try reading shorter books for awhile and build your tolerance and love for books up again just like grade school did way back when. If not, whatever lol, but I’m saying all of this because I’m trying to get myself out of a similar spot.
