You and me both. I love Arch and I think Omarchy is great. Then I thought "let's look this guy up...". Unfortunately, he now has a bigger stage to spread his hate and it is very disturbing to see the companies who support him (they will claim they support the product, not the guy).

My god, you blew my mind. Thank you for this great explanation.

Very true.

Did not know this existed, thank you. This is a very interesting OS, but indeed it is not Linux.

So at the moment Wine seems to be the best possibility to come near to the experience of Windows.

Totally forgot that Enoch was taken by God. And I agree with you that the Ainur are more like angels.

Not really answering your question but your post got me thinking. Is there a person in the bible who is immortal like the Elves? And God and Jesus do not count. So I found these three on the internet:

Enoch: In the genealogies of Genesis, everyone's story ends with "...and he died." Enoch is the sole exception. Genesis 5:24 states: "Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away." The New Testament confirms this in Hebrews 11:5, stating he was taken "so that he did not experience death."

Elijah: The fiery Old Testament prophet did not die a natural death. Instead, while walking with his successor Elisha, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them, and Elijah "went up to heaven in a whirlwind" (2 Kings 2:11).

Melchizedek: He is a mysterious king and priest who briefly meets Abraham in Genesis 14. In the New Testament, Hebrews 7:3 describes him in highly unusual terms: "Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever." A bit like Tom Bombadil.

Or should we see Elves like Angles on Earth?

The thing probably is that I remember it being something special especially gameplay wise, but probably because I was out of touched with gaming. I think around the same time Mass Effect came out and the Xbox 360 was for me an impressive console.

Yeah Unity also felt really special.

Just want to say, I'm very happy with my Shiftphone 8.1, which is running e/os L (no Google). I use Micro G for payments with Curve Pay and use Magic Earth instead of Maps. It is amazing how long the battery lasts without Big Tech constantly looking over my shoulder.

This is the thing that worries me. I'm currently Degoogling and relying on sources like F-Droid, but these sneaky tricks seem unavoidable

For me it is also difficult to get rid of Whatsapp because family and work use it. I really like YouTube and am still hoping for the great next YouTube alternative. I use Proton for mail, calendar and online Drive. I use a Chinese mobile with F-droid and Aurora Store. I also have an old Pixel phone with which I'm experimenting with GrapheneOS For my desktop I'm still experimenting with which Linux is the best fit compatibility wise.

I'm currently using Brave as browser but I'm thinking of switching to Waterfox or Vivaldi.

Edit: and my DNS is from a European server.
