  • What was your starting point? Having Windows on the machine already and installing Ubuntu on top of it? (that would be commonly regarded as the ‘correct’ order) If not, and you can afford to scrap everything, that’s what I’d go for. If yes, and it’s Ubuntu that’s messing up your dual boot, I’d see if Windows can be restored after removing Ubuntu, and then try a different distro (I’d go with Mint Cinnamon, it normally provides smooth install experience).













  • I don’t want to use Brave Search for a number of reasons.

    Mind sharing? I’m curious because I switched to DDG several days ago, after a good while of using Brave. My reasons were:

    • defaulting to Moderate safe search every couple of days
    • inability to provide me with good results for simple ‘[word] wiktionary’ queries
    • having to block some elements of their result templates manually, using their own browser’s filtering feature (featured snippets, definitions etc)
    • poorer search results compared to what they were a year, two ago

    Some people here mentioned Kagi and I liked it a lot when I was beta-testing it, but I will only start paying for using it when they introduce full support for Boolean operators, which most likely means never.
