  1. I would choose Viva Revolution, but people in general are too stupid and too easily brainwashed by media, so the criminals gain more power by the day. In a decade or two there's no possibility to resist anymore.

  2.  @MentalOutlaw  I'm building the lightest/fastest possible Gentoo Linux system that only needs to run web browser and online video. Essentially fully optimized Gentoo with manually selecting the minimum requited packages/USE flags, Gentoo LTO overlay with Ofast LTO Graphene and the rest. And obviously distc is used for compiling. Point here is to get ancient single core/thread Celeron 1.8ghz laptop to run Youtube in full screen. I got that laptop for free in 2011 so it's my hobby to keep that laptop alive. My mother has been using it happily, I offered to buy her new laptop but she didn't want that. Now she has started to watch online video and after optimizing Lubuntu to the fullest, playback is still skipping. Only reason I try this build is because I think compiling directly to that single thread CPU with only small amount of L2 cache might improve on the performance quite a lot. Currently this concept is working on virtual machine, and I'm using DWM, that's the spark for this whole comment. But my point here is, if you have time and interest on creating a video or video series on how to achieve absolute minimum system for web browsing, as that is certainly one thing that everyone would need to have and good place to start expanding based on individual needs. With distc you could turn even ancient laptops as decent browsing machines that you could give to your relatives, children, etc. Obviously huge undertaking, but I wanted to suggest this as I think there are people who would be interested in this and I think it shows the strengths of Gentoo as well =)

  3.  @mskiptr  I'm using ungoogled-chromium as that gave the best video playback speed previously. I would much rather use Firefox, or some lightweight browser, but I haven't had luck with them. Though if anyone knows lightweight browser that supports html5 video and which is at least as fast as chromium, then I'll be thankful for the recommendation.
