I see lots of recommendations for Fedora here. I like Fedora but it tends to be a tad bleeding edge and major version upgrades used to be impossible or sketchy at best. I hope they at least largely worked out the upgrade thing by now.

Mint and Ubuntu are usually the best recommendation for people new to the Linux world. Bazzite if they are into gaming.

they mean the race to the bottom. just as pointless as the race to have the most nukes 50+ years ago.

Disagree. It was slow, boring and focused on the worst kind of character for 90% of its short season. The last episode tried to give viewers something to cling on to while they settle in for a wait that is likely to be 2+ years before the next season trickles out. Trump and AI will have burned the world to ground by then.

This is what OP needs to look for. That error message means that Opera installed its own apt repository when you originally installed it. Also looks like its signing key is busted or missing. Opera is controlled by a Chinese company now and everyone should know that before accepting the risk of running it.

Microsoft employs several ex unit 8200 members in its Defender security service(lots of ex US spooks too). A good deal of the management of its backing data store, web portal and EDR operations are also run out of Israel. This data store contains vast telemetry from the cloud/email/endpoints of most of the fortune 500 and beyond. Let all that sink in for a moment. So if you think the IDF/Mossad is not using these people to gather whatever intel they want from whomever they want to follow around you are only fooling yourself.

Polestar is owned by Volvo which is owned by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geely. [Chinese company]
