From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Using firefox but concerned now

Read about some alternatives:

ARC not OSS and VC funded
Waterfox, FOSS
Librewolf, FOSS
Zen, FOSS but is just a skin??
Ladybird, FOSS

Edit 2/28: It seems there is no general consensus if we should switch and/or to what.

I'm curious, how do you find your site's? Is the whole ecosystem sketch?

There is a search engine for it and sometimes from my friends/youtube it isn't super hard to find onion sites (if this is what you mean)
