Why does anyone actually like this company? Or thinks they are pro-consumer?

Yeah, F-Droid sucks. The team makes arbitrary rules for the packages that are not mentioned anywhere on their website and rejecting packages based on said arbitrary rules. Happened to me.

Switch to NixOS, sometimes it feels like we have every package there is.

After using Mint for quite a few years, I've switched to NixOS. Still using Cinnamon, though, that DE won me over.

Cinnamon is not the Ubuntu DE, it's Linux Mint's.

I went with Proton Mail, one of the paid plans.

Same. Though according to the article, Google is still better than competition, so yeah, not that many alternatives.

and the study itself points out that Google has improved over the past year and is performing better than other search engines. More broadly, numerous third parties have measured search engine results for other types of queries and found Google to be of significantly higher quality than the rest.

Same on the default search changing, I'm very much used to Google Search and it's gonna take me a while before I switch. Though I've already managed to switch from Gmail and it's kinda refreshing, so this will be just another step.

rikudou OP , 5 months ago to Technology in Google search is losing the fight with SEO spam, study says

I've been thinking of switching, because Google sucks nowadays, though I'm not sure I really want to switch to another big corporation if I'm taking the effort of switching.

I tried it recently and it was confusing as hell.

It's really similar to Windows in how you use it. Switching between Windows 11 and Cinnamon is as seamless as it can be.

There's almost no configuration or anything necessary, you just install it and it's great.

You can get even more fancy and have a boot option for both with specialisations!

specialisation.KDE.configuration = {
    services.xserver.displayManager.lightdm.enable = false;
    services.xserver.desktopManager.cinnamon.enable = false;

    services.xserver.displayManager.sddm.enable = true;
    services.xserver.desktopManager.plasma5.enable = true;
  };

But let's not pretend NixOS is in any way beginner friendly.

Start recommending Cinnamon then, it's the best DE when switching from Windows.
