Linux Mint is the common suggestion and a solid option.
I tried a lot of distros myself and I’m 10 months into switching to Linux. My personal suggestion would be OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

I’ve made a huge mistake breaking my personal rule to avoid all political content and I’ve regretted that immediately

I’ve used Mailbox.org for years as a service that replaces most of my Google services at once. I know you just asked for email and Mailbox is worth checking out.
For keyboards, 60% layouts can be bought prebuilt. If you want something smaller than that then you’re likely looking at DIY build territory or maybe a one handed gaming keyboard.
For a mouse, you can get really tiny portable mice that are low weight. If you want something that doesn’t tie you down to finding desk space, then you can look at trackball mice (fine for strategy games, not great for FPS).
Lemmy as a Reddit replacement.
Facebook - pseudonym account solely for FB marketplace.
Do YouTube and WhatsApp count as social media?
Disappointingly, a lot of good webcomics use Instagram or Twitter and don’t have RSS access.
We have Linux workstations at work…and these can only be used to access a remote desktop of a Windows 10 virtual machine. 👍
I came to Lemmy just looking for a Reddit alternative. I think this is a superior forum system with user scoring and nested comments. But I do love that it is open and federated and I’m glad to be rid of Reddit completely.
I am a huge tech nerd and love doing these things as side projects (but I prefer making hardware). I like making stuff so the things I’ve been making/setting up are:
Now I’m planning making a DIY microphone for MS Teams meetings
How long till the 2 typos come together to make “worm retards”
Is this thing with unsupported bands ever an issue outside USA? It isn’t a problem I’ve ever encountered in using any phone abroad or heard people of any other could try talk about.
It is Katy Perry’s little known twin sister, Paty Kerry. Some people have given her the nick name of Emily Blunt, but that’s not her real name.
I don’t know anything about iOS, but I use FB on Android for the marketplace. I keep a prepaid sim card for giving a phone number to accounts like this. I throw away the sim every few years and burn the accounts and make new ones. FB is used from a browser in a seperate work profile on the phone to keep it isolated.
This sub obviously has a strong reaction against FB. But if you need to use it then put up what defended you can and go for it.
Very much worthwhile. Pick up Slay the Spire while you’re at it.
It’s all porn. Always has been.
Do you have friends from different socioeconomic backgrounds?
No. Most people I come across scoially are through education, job and family/friends; and all these places have a preselected population in a broadly similar socioeconomic class. Some friends started from a lower socioeconomic position and moved up, but are now in a comparable position to me.
do you wish you did
Yes. I wish society as a who wasn’t so stratified. I wish everyone had opportunities and the experiences of people from different social classes wasn’t so alien and unrelatable (which would be the case if there were equity in society). I’ve known people from different socioeconomic groups and their company and experience has enriched my life…but an ongoing friendship hasn’t been maintained somehow.
how do you think it would influence your perspective?
I’d like to think I keep a pretty broad perspective even now. I do see and support very different people’s personal lives in my work. I would really wish to have everyone on equal fitting as mentioned above.
Where does such a culture exist?
That city is one of many in civilisation 6.
