>>1197677>This is the last board that I would go to if I wanted to ridicule Anons.not ridiculing, said it because all you asked could be answered by google faster and you would learn a few things in the process. also the occasional "kys retard" is a healthy reality check rather than a ridicule.
and once again, unless youre a poweruser using your system for things other than gaming/browsing/regular people stuff, you dont need anything fancy or complicated. as long as you know what sites and links youre visiting youre fine.
>Is Google Chrome with DuckDuckGo installed perfectly fine then?yeah its perfectly fine. if you dont wanna be tracked everywhere you go you can just use an ungoogled chromium(chrome browser with removed google spywqre) and simly not log in to your google account. btw all other search engines also track you no matter what they say anyway.
now im just mentioning this, but you cant escape being traced and your user data stored as a part of a huge statistic somewhere. dont work yourself over it, the machine knows(as schitzo as this sounds its true).
>I'm just asking about programs that I should install on my new laptop when I set it up.you might wanna keep the initial win setup safe in case you reinstall later so check this out
https://youtu.be/x9BGn4MivJw>I remember skimming through this and thinking it was more hassle than it was worthits no hassle at all and it sounds like you get easily overwhelmed by information. you want all your things straightforward, easily digested. you want it all to "just work" without caring how it works.
which is completely fine as long as you're not pretentious regarding which document reader is better, which vpn tracks what, which search engine is "safe" etc. and you, my friend, are pretentious in this regard.
so either learn reading patiently or stfu and do whatever you do without minding what happens on your machine meanwhile
