Sorry, but it is tech-y. Not out of reach by anybody who is interested in learning, but ask the average person to self sign their drivers (required for any Nvidea card if you want to game and don’t turn on legacy bios). Or maybe you want the latest version of Spotify on Mint and therefore need to add flathub using the terminal. With help or research, sure, not hard concepts to grasp. Without help though, it’d probably be a dealbrealer.

And once you’ce done both of those I’d consider you ‘tech-y’

Not that, I meant a keyloggers could get the password to your password database in the same way it could get any accounts you log into by typing your password into a browser.

I’m all for FOSS browsers, but how are Firefox users marginalized folks?

Isn’t your computer a single point of failure? A keylogger will get your password database or you manually entered passwords all the same.

Fire up a VM to scratch that itch or change up your desktop environment if you feel like it.

Unless you have a specific need that can’t be met on your distro you’re probably not missing much other than “ooh shiny” and some fun tinkering with something new.

If it’s KDE that’s causing issues you should just be able to install a second desktop environment and try that out.

Otherwise, Debian stable is good. Can also testing or unstable if you want newer packages. Debian “just works” if you’re not on day 1 hardware, don’t have Nvidia graphics, and can troubleshoot the occasional issue that any Linux distro will bring.
