Firefox? That's a strange way to spell LibreWolf.

One thing I like about Osmand for driving is that it tells you which lane(s) you should to be in for the next turn/junction/roundabout. It's especially useful for large junctions and/or in busy traffic. I've had it do the "detour route" that you talk about, but it's never been anything major like a complete square that's lead to wasting time.
I don't think it's simply "left wing" being the problem any more, at least not the classical left. I'm generally left-leaning libertarian yet over the past few years (particularly since 2020) I've been called far-right, far-left, and every "-ist" and "-ism" in between, by people in various places. I think people in general have become "woke", childish, and tribal – incapable of comprehending a point of view other than what is fed to them. One could see the mass downvoting without discourse as a minor form of "cancel culture". These things are reflected in the general state of politics at large in many countries, also contributing to their decay.
OSMAnd is very good, with a lot of features, but lately I have been using Organic Maps. It has fewer features but is SO MUCH FASTER when rendering maps.
I remember Sony forcing everyone to use their proprietary SonicStage software and proprietary ATRAC3 audio file format with their Mini Disc players. Nothing else would work on their products. Thank goodness big industries don't influence governments worldwide, or we'd be heading into some kind of dystopia DRM-laden in every aspect of our lives. Oh wait...
Mysterium looks pretty interesting, being completely decentralized. All the mainstream VPNs are pretty shady to me, being run in a centralized manner and some heavily marketed by "influencers".
You do realize that RHEL is open source, right? The "pirating" has already been done by RockyLinux (formerly CentOS).
Fedora users are just "beta testers" for Red Hat's main distro, RHEL, and it really did feel like it. I started on Fedora and moved on swiftly after finding better distros.
