   What you need to understand if you want to create a newbie, non-technical friendly #Linux distro in 2024 is that you have to include uBlock Origin and some other extensions in Firefox which makes the web usable, by default!

   Because, as @molly0xfff says in the latest Citation Needed, adblockers are no longer optional. So people shouldn't have to know to install it themselves after they've already installed the OS.

     @OrionKidder @molly0xfff We need to at least make some distros for regular people we want to recruit in, not just for the technically inclined. And quite a few already try to do that, thankfully, and that has already helped many people switch over. But I don't know if anyone goes far enough.

     @forteller @molly0xfff This is smart! I'm such a newbie, and the first thing I do when I install a browser is Adblock. Considering how much of our time we spend on the web, a new user could be very impressed by a web that's magically ad-free.

     Or course, I think anyone who's decided to make that switch is probably like me and already knows. :)
