    Nice cherry picking/moving the goalpost, but that is not how refuting works. A PC at NASA has a much higher “threat level” than my Orange pi zero 3, just chilling on the background. Which means, a potential “security hole” may prove harmful for these pcs… but it’ll definitely not hurt me in the slightest.

    And before you parrot with other links and/or excuses… yes, I’m not negating their existence. I’m just saying they are there… but, well… “who cares”? If anything, its much faster to set up my distro back up “just like never happened before” than performing any “maintenance” whatsoever. Again, “Common sense antivirus” reigns supreme here – know what you are doing, and none of these things will matter.

    Something in the line of https://gitlab.com/ananicy-cpp/ananicy-cpp ?

    Well, procbal does not need any configuration whatsoever – just run it with the command you want, and its working. Just like that. Plus, dynamic adjustment trumps static rules—procbal reacts live to CPU/memory spikes while ananicy does not. Also, a proper, dynamic nice adjustment means more free resources for other commands running on the background. Which can also mean “free” performance depending of how “potato” is your pc.

    I was about to say that you should learn the “ins and outs” of Linux first before choosing a distro until I’ve noticed these part(s) of your post.

    I’ve been toying with Linux on and off for almost 20 years now.

    I’m comfortable in the command line

    20 years is more than enough time for a user to use Linux properly. And with that in mind, well… you are overthinking it – just go with whatever you want, really.

    “The saying goes “if you’re not paying for the product, you are the product” —unless open-source, I tend to add if I hear someone say it! Alas, Mozilla’s recent faux-pas suggests that even noble projects aren’t immune to the shiny glint of ick.”

    …I don’t know if we should embrace proprietary like that just because “firefox did it”.
