Ofc, no problem.
Since this thread was initially about beginner friendly distros, I wanted to ensure I wasn't going around recommending an inferior or problematic distro to new users as their first experience.

Wayland and GPU stuff should be very good in endeavor, better than most systems I have seen, better than openSUSE leap and mint certainly. I don't know fedora however.

Endeavor has its own base repo, but also the regular arch stuff like aur. The AUR is probably the best source for all those programs that are usually missing in your repo, and since the base stuff is stable in endeavor there is no problem if some random program needs a special version or a manual install sometimes, it won't affect anything else.
The AUR is not the main package source for endeavor.
I don't know your hardware, but the combination of up to date system components, endeavors focus on just working, and all the shit in the aur (to my understanding flatpak is currently quite useless for drivers) sound like it should just accept any hardware at least as well as other linux distros.

On a sidenote for flatpaks. There is this long running conflict between stability, portability, and security. The old-school package systems are designed to allow updating libraries systemwide, switching-in abi compatible replacements containing fixes. On the other hand, you have appimage, flatpak, ..., which bring their own everything and will therefore keep running on old unsafe libraries sometimes for years before the developers of all those specific projects update their projects' versions of all those libraries.

I see. I have heard a lot of mad things about Manjaro.
In my experience Endeavor is great for less experienced users, and doesn't really have anything to do with Manjaro.

I'd recommend you give it a try

Apparently a tool to transport serial connections over the internet, to allow you to run programs making use of them on a separate machine to the one(s) you plugged the serial into.

What is your take on endeavour?

You could just copy others signed codes, so you would also need some sort of totp system.
Then you could still place some camera capturing and streaming plates of parked cars in real time, so you'd either need 2 way communication with the license plates, where the cameraa tell them to show a code for some specific nonce, and which you could then potentially still stream so would also need severe latency checks, or you would have to get way more reliable gps and make that part of the totp.

which also references an effort to use the media to quietly disseminate Google’s point of view about unionized tech workplaces.

Bogas’ order references an effort by Google executives, including corporate counsel Christina Latta, to “find a ‘respected voice to publish an op-ed outlining what a unionized tech workplace would look like,” and urging employees of Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google not to unionize.

in an internal message Google human resources director Kara Silverstein told Latta that she liked the idea, “but that it should be done so that there ‘would be no fingerprints and not Google specific.’”

From the article posted by 100_kg_90_de_belin.

Google seemingly does care about their internal image, so they will only make their actions obvious when they fire you for bogus reasons after wanting to join a union.
Quite nasty in that they give you no hints about how extreme their efforts on this are. They monitor internal employee tools like they are cosplaying the NSA, but you wouldn't know before you are fired out of the blue.

i2p doesn't really have exit nodes, it's mostly for i2p internal connections.
The only exit I know is stormycloud.i2p, and that one is somehow immensely limited ro the point of it being hard to load clear-net text pages.

We can't make enough. And crispr is for inside cells, there is another layer needed for getting it there, like a virus shell for example.

Careful, Google is currently forcing apps to migrate from SafetyNet to PlayProtect!
SafetyNet is used by tons of security theater apps like banking 2FA. It is an API of play services.
PlayProtect is basically the same but you have to talk to it though google play. This is a blatant move by google to make exactly what OP is suggesting impossible, and means that if you do this, you may soon see many apps break that you are forced to use.

Yes, those could be detected.
Ill see how large that portion is on my system in a bit, but I would expect it to come out as the minority.

Non-detectible ones I can think of rn:

  • Tab muting manager
  • VPN manager
  • link redirect skippers
  • stats printers, like a tab counter
  • dynamic shortcuts, like opening the archived version of the current page on archive.org
  • old reddit redirect
  • cookie managers

Many more of the ones you listed won't be detectable on most websites.

userscript managers (grease/tamper/violentmonkey etc.)

A userscript manager is by definition detectible only on pages you define or install a userscript for. Even then, modern userscript managers like tampermonkey are running scripts in a separate scope that is completely sandboxed from the actual websites js context, you can't even pass an object or function to the website and access it there, it will fail.
Youtube has actively fought some userscripts and failed, which they probably wouldn't have if those userscripts were detectible.

User theme managers should be similar, but I can't comment on them as I don't use any.

page translators

Translators are only detectible when enabled.

addons serving in-browser ads

Why would you have an addon that serves ads?

site-specific UI improvements (RES, SponsorBlock, youtube/SNS tweaks)

Are site-specific, i.e. not detectible anywhere else

privacy blockers (CanvasBlocker/JShelter/etc.)

Please don't use those anymore, use only uBo. Same for uMatrix.
uBo is pretty good about not being detected, for obvious reasons.
