Apart from that I am looking for a solution to a personal issue (see my other comment), I posted this because I was thinking this could be a great way to support other new Linux users and friends.

    There was a bit of controversy about them a couple of years back that put me off.

    • They used to disable Wayland and force X11 - that was a pain.
    • They didn’t fully open source all components I think.
    • There was some concerns about where it was being developed, I think it’s entirely Chinese devs.

        It’s not fear I don’t think. It’s more like the Chinese Gov is opaque to us and it’s people.

      Yep, as for the last point: the problem was not so much the devs but data going through a Chinese server
