It would be great to have a privacy-first, censorship-proof, ad-free, free software centric tutorial series that is aimed at the average layperson. Everything from what computer to buy, to how to use Linux, to how to perform backups, to how to safely store passwords, and so on. The software (Linux distributions) has improved, but I feel like the evangelization and education has not.
I installed Pop!_OS 21.04 last week and use a USB mic/headphones. After some googling I had to apply this fix to turn off the power saving subsystem which was turning the card on and off. This is on a desktop computer.
I meant more to get your everyday mom and pop to use a software stack that isn’t owned by one of a few giant conglomerates. I think the HN crowd can handle a raspberry pi but it’ll take more for a random person on the street, IMO.
