Tasks.org seems like it might work from a quick look.

Private Space.

I think it’s a pretty new feature, but it seems to do what you want.

Pi-hole with cloudflared or dnscrypt-proxy are what the docs recommend.

Sugar on a Stick maybe?

I SSH in and run an update manually, once a week.

I’m not knowledgable and comfortable enough to let updates happen automatically and feel like I could trust it to keep running. Not yet, anyway.

Edit: But at some point I might do what another commenter said and make sure security updates run automatically and check other updates weekly.

X Cancelled link.

Archived link for you.

DuckStation is the recommended one these days.

Much easier to setup than ePSXe used to be back then.

Nice. Glad I could save you some time and effort.

Combine this with Windows 10 or 11 LTSC for a much better, less BS Windows experience.

Try KDE Connect for connecting to your phone. Works on Windows, Linux, and Mac. Also available on both Android and iOS.

I want to preface this by saying I’ve never owned or used a Macbook.

But most of what I’ve read online regarding Linux on Macbooks ends up with Linux Mint. And most of the time, peoeple specifically mention it because of Wi-Fi issues being resolved.

I’m not sure if there’s any additional steps or anything, but I hope this can somehow be useful to you.

Just to add to this:

Linux Mint is popular, because they are what Ubuntu could have been. They give you Ubuntu without all of Canonical’s anti-user decisions. They also have a version based on Debian if you really want to avoid Ubuntu completely.

Bazzite is also a very popular recommendation for gaming.

I’ve heard that KDE on Mint can be a bit temperamental. I assume because most of their stuff is focused around GTK instead of QT and adding KDE somehow messes with stuff.

Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, but removes or otherwise avoids most of the problems with Ubuntu.

It doesn’t come with KDE, but it’s a solid option for those not quite comfortable with Debian or Linux in general (or people who prefer Ubuntu as a base).

There’s also LMDE if you want a Debian base.

I’m familiar with two:

• Thunder
• Voyager

I’m pretty sure both allow multiple accounts, but I’m not sure how smoothly you can switch between them, because I don’t use multiple accounts.

Lol, no worries. Glad to hear it didn’t all go to waste.

Holy shit, sorry to hear. Hope you found some kind of use for all that hardware.

How do you know?

From what I’ve tested (in VMs) Bazzite was a decent performer while Aurora was quite a bit slower.

Edit: My testing was very basic. I was just curious to see what they were like and how they were different from traditional distros.
