I'm also going to add that any online service you sign up for, always check through their privacy settings and make sure the options to not gather data are enabled. Another one is to check through settings for your ISP and cellular plans. Some collect various data to "enhance" services. Lastly I'll mention that on mobile devices switch to a privacy oriented browser like the recommendations below, and use Progressive Web Apps instead of native apps. These will include the browser's privacy protections by default.

The live version in particular has some fun shorts with it and it's on Tubi I f you don't mind ads.

I'm a fan of the "just dive in" approach. You may encounter issues, but researching the solutions is where you really begin to learn. I personally like Fedora, but any of the other distros mentioned are also great choices. The great thing, if you don't like it there's tons off other options to try.

Bit of a side note; when I've had users with low storage and too many apps, I've had some success moving them to PWA's. Social media apps in particular seem to be storage hogs.

I enjoyed season 4 as well, particularly in the original format. Season 5 on the other hand, I have no idea what that was.

The Room actually. I feel obligated to show it to everyone, particularly with Rifftrax commentary.

Just adding that the base level is free up to 5 users is you want to sample it a bit before paying for more features.

For comparison purposes nextcloud.com offers a solution as well.

Also going to add that Proton makes my favorites VPN. They offer a completely free version with no data cap (but limited locations) if you wish to try it before buying the full product.
