I saw a post about Firefox has been going downhill in terms of privacy protection, and figured it was time to take some action. I saw LibreWolf was a decent alternative, but wanted to go all the way and get my laptop off Mac OS while I was at it. So, after some difficulties, I installed Debian Linux and am writing my first post that's not from Jerboa on my phone!

From what you learned is there a version of linux that you would recommend to install on your macbook that doesn't involve too much tinkering? (Use case: mainly browsing/research and writing, the occasional spreadsheet and presentation app, the idea is to improve longevity of the laptop if possible)

Yeah, if you want to minimize tinkering, running Linux on a VM might be best. Check out UTM, and you can get Debian right from their Gallery page. Linux Mint is another good option, but it may run a little slower, since its not built for Apple silicon.
