Chrome and Edge or Firefox?

Probably a tall order to ask, but if at any point of time you are inspired and have time available, would be awesome if you could provide a step by step tutorial how to set up a Linux desktop as a Windows 10 alternative.
I would rather wait for someone else to open a thread about that, to give my inputs on the subject. There is nothing standard about my own setup, even the system is a Fedora Server edition on which I installed the Gnome desktop environment that I've then tweaked over the years. Also, I always boot first on the shell (Init level 3; not 5) then fire up the GUI when I need it.. etc.

It's really not the standard way of doing things.

Indeed, they should have done that a long time ago -if you ask me- instead of letting that job to the extensions. This is a subject that we've discussed at length @FFS.

Tracking is the plague of the Internet in general and the Web in particular. I've always had (and still have) at least 4/5 extensions for the sole purpose of blocking it;  Firefox's own anti-tracking system is just yet another layer of protection. Someone should open a thread on this subject too.

The quick answer for the negative side of having Firefox anti-tracking ON is the possibility of breaking web-sites, depending of the way you set it up; ie standard/strict/custom. I'm using it in its strict mode by-the-way!.. This is also true, for when using CORS-blocking extensions (like Privacy badger, uBlock origin etc...)

As Hidden Refuge said windows 7 is no more supported by Microsoft. I manually download essential updates and install them. After that i updated the dot net framework. But still same thing happens.
I'm aware that Windows update is NO MORE. I've given you a web site that gives you a shell script that takes care of that. What you need most is those TRCs.

OK! There you go. A simple Google search:

and this:

You're in luck!

How will i use my .exe programs those are limited to Windows. How will i use Microsoft Office tools, those are essential for my education work. ( i know i can do it online but not as in pc ). What about system Drivers etc.
We can discuss this at length if you open a thread for it. I'm under the impression that you still have a lot to digest Computer-systems-wise!
