  • If you’re concerned about this, you may want to consider buying a commercial display, which is basically just a giant monitor. They’re meant for businesses and hospitals, so they’re going to be expensive. Many brands such as LG and Samsung sell commercial displays.

    Anothet alternative is to buy a projector. Projectors offer a much more “cinematic” experience, and they can be cheaper in comparison to commercial displays. Although there are a few projectors that have smart (anti-)features, most of them lack these. For a projector, I recommend the BenQ HT2060. It’s confirmed to have no smart features, and supports HDR.

































  • Trisquel GNU/Linux is an Ubuntu fork that is famous for having no proprietary software whatsoever*. It’s the distro that Richard Stallman uses.

    Trisquel uses a modified version of the Linux kernel that is completely devoid of binary blobs. However, as a side effect, some things like WiFi may not work, so you’ll have to buy an FSF-certified USB dongle, or use Ethernet.

    *Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from installing closed-source software on Trisquel (but why would you want to do that?). And Debian by default ships with 100% FLOSS.

    Ah, I remember Zorin. It was my first distro. I eventually moved on to Debian and Trisquel, though.

    This is an excellent starting point for new converts, but if you want a more “Windows-esque” experience, I’d recommend Kubuntu or KDE Neon (Plasma is the most Windows-like DE in my opinion).
