This article from The Verge says they only added affiliates to cryptocurrency links. The CEO has since apologized.
The manuals. RTFM exists for a reason. If there's ever a command or a config file you're not sure about, just type in man the_command.
If you can't access the man pages for some reason, there's an online version on linux.die.net.
Also, the Arch Wiki, Gentoo Wiki, and Debian Wiki offer good information for all distros. I like Arch Wiki the best.
PGP or GPG, however you spell it. You can encrypt stuff, protect your email from prying eyes!
Also FOSS in general.
AI? In medical research? But rulers!!!
To expand on that, there's a scientific study that determined a certain AI flagged skin growths as cancerous if there was a ruler next to them.
In our dataset, images with rulers were more likely to be malignant; thus the algorithm inadvertently “learned” that rulers are malignant.

Everything here reminds everyone of that.
It wasn't anything big that caused me to switch. It was just a general feeling of "oh, maybe I'll switch" and annoyance at Windows, and then I got a new SSD.
Here's a few of the micro-hacks that I've hacked up in the past.
A 2-line script to chroot into Debian when logging in as a certain user on FreeBSD.
#!/bin/sh
clear
doas chroot /linux /bin/login
I didn't have an IDE, so I just made a script called
ide which runs Vim, and then compiles the code and makes it executable.
#!/bin/sh
#Works only for C
vim $1.c && cc -O3 -Wall -Werror -Wno-unused-result $1.c -o $1
#MODE=`stat -f "%OLp" $1`
if ("stat -f "%OLp" $1 | grep -e 6 -e 4 -e 2") then
chmod +x $1
fi
This thing, called
demoronize, which does what it says in the comments
#!/bin/sh
#dos2unix -O -e -s $1 | sed 's/ / /g' | sed 's/“/"/g' | sed 's/”/"/g'
cat $1 | sed 's/ / /g' | sed 's/“/"/g' | sed 's/”/"/g'
#Convert DOS line endings to Unix ones and add a final newline if there isn't one,
#replace sequence of 4 spaces with tab,
#and replace "smart" quotes with normal ones
I just keep those ones for historical value, but there's one hack I use every day. My keyboard doesn't have a function key (Fn), so I use the Super/Windows key instead.
I have xdotool keyup Super_L keyup Super_R keyup F4 key XF86Sleep bound to a custom keyboard shortcut. It unpresses the keys used for the shortcut (Super + F4), then presses the sleep key.
Damn Taskbar is gold
What is unclutter?
Still faster than Windows
