That’s a clown makeup moment for Zorin OS

I’d say try Linux. Ubuntu or Fedora and you’ll realize how much of your computer usage is based out a web browser and it doesn’t matter whether you have a Linux, Mac, or Windows computer

Email you’ll be stuck with some corporate entity that won’t be 100% open source. Running an email server and your emails not being filtered is a pain. I use Proton applications for email, VPN, and Dropbox type service. They have a calendar but hard to beat google calendar

Signal for pretty much texting. I actually have around a dozen people I primarily message through Signal so it’s viable for me

Matrix/Element for something like discord.

Onlyoffice, Libreoffice, or WPS Office instead of MS Office. WPS may not be open source

Browser use Firefox or Firefox forks

Krita, Darktable, GIMP for image editing

KeepassXC for my desktop password manager and whatever is available on Android

Maps you can use Organic Maps

Video editing i use kdenlive

I’m not expert in sed or awk. I always have to Google. For me though, it’s generally that you can do a great deal in just one line of awk or sed. They’re standard on any Linux distribution I’ve ever used. When building out pipelines, scripts that you want run from an installer you built post install and when removing, sed and awk rather than needing python.

All really nice when you have strict configuration management and versioning and there’s something deployed but it doesn’t have the python packages installed that would make it easy in python and you can’t just pip install it on hundreds+ of computers without going through a process of approval and building a new tagged version release but sed/awk/etc can do the job. If it’s hard enough, python and whatever packages you can install. If simple enough to do in a small bash script, no python just what’s standard in your Linux distro

Hard part is software distribution. You can buy Chinese phones but what app store? Can focus on open source applications. Use F-Droid. I have an iPhone and an older Pixel 7. In the past I’ve had ZTE phones. I guess you can buy a Chinese phone with a Mediatek processor that has YMTC memory chips and … whatever else

Desktop/laptop you should and encourage other to try Linux. Something common. Ubuntu or Linux Mint. Even if it’s US based, supporting Linux and open source software aligns with what you want
