Hooray! Despite having no computer skills, I rescued my 12 year old ThinkPad! My T440 got a new network card and keyboard and an install of Linux Mint! Now I need YOUR HELP figuring out what apps my go-tos should be, as an AI-hater. I have LibreOffice which will be the primary thing I&#39;m using it for. What browser is good, FOSS types?

@evelynf@counterforce.social If you like privacy, check out LibreWolf. It's based on Firefox, with some security features built in as defaults.

@evelynf@counterforce.social Firefox is perfectly acceptable to be honest.

@evelynf@counterforce.social I am quite happy with Floorp (Firefox Fork), although they arent anti AI. I tried Zen, but the UI wasnt for me. Ironwolf removes all the AI crap that Firefox has included nowadays. So even though I didn't try Ironwolf I'd recommend that
