There is no such thing as "Linuxes" - Linux is a proper noun and it should not be pluralised.
The correct technical jargon would be Linux Distributions or Linux Distros.
And good luck with uMatrix.

"Tom" is a proper noun so By your logic I cannot say "how many Toms are in this room?" That too is bogus.
Yes, nothing but good luck with uMatrix, thanks.

I said should not.
Linux refers to the operating system kernel, and all the other so-called "Linuxes" that you're referring to are distinctly independent distributions which simply utilise the same kernel.
So, even with your flawed semantics, plurality does not apply. Because there is only one unique Linux, but there are many different distros.

Yes; to support those Linux Distros. Not Linuxes.
Glad you finally got it.

@randy walker, congratulations : a period of 30 years, I understand it. Imagine a perfect GUI which has start on a very specific hardware. Two "forum" to question about linux components. That was the context that I got to discover the open source world (personnally). But, for my way, I am disgusted by the computing hardware, through the people which try to do the believing the computing is a necessity, and so through the false and the ignorance. Example :
- to save the forests : false
- for defense again the t3rror15m : false
- to gain money : false ! Etc...
And as it is false, I see new non-senses. 2 example :
- when group networks (f4c3b00k, etc...) have caused lots of su1c1d5,
- when the security of personnal massive datas has failed, and fails again and again in a big scale, without law in the good time,
What to do to cast the big errors to the forget ?
Add any connected AIs.
What it stays for me, it is good remembers.
With or without computer, the little money comes to me.
And, with or without little money, the food comes to me.
When the first seeds has grown, just with the sun, the water, the heat, and the ass of the animals, I realized where was my virtuous circle. Electronic processor is complex ? Make the food is far more complex...
Coding is for my brain. Here, actually, I am imagining a small text editor : it is for the health of my brain.
@AZJIO : cool the movie. I switched the sub-titles on, and it is good to hear the pronounciation of the letters in the words.
I keep in memory your add-on when I ll have a "home internet". Actually I just have radiofrequency internet. And Android is a commercial system. It is good, but what I prefer to code is a based Intel processor. More accurately a synchronized processor. I am sure it will come back again. Question of physic.
Actually, the scientists have kept the Planck-Einstein frequency is :
1.85 * 10^43 Hertz
A future day, the scientists will think this beautiful limit is :
0.45 * 10^43 Hertz
They are actually 4 times too far... And if a far goal is not on the right place, then they do not find the infinite universe in which the secrets does not exist...

I switched the sub-titles
Try the "s3_translator" plugin, it automatically includes subtitles on YouTube, without the need to search for them in the list of languages. Also, I use Alt+V to translate website pages (I disable the automatic mode, as it corrupts the source code).

I can't download your z7 file from the link down below because umatrix is blocking scripts on yandex.ru and I don't trust that I should allow scripts on yandex.ru so I can't review your programs.
YouTube and Instagram are blocked in our country too. But if I need to, I'll use a VPN. The only criterion is how much you want to. If your desire is 0.0001%, then of course you'll talk about how someone is preventing you. I don't think Google has fewer scripts. I can say that some of my programs on Yandex have download counts of 3500, 3200, and 1000, and my assembly of other programs, such as Akelpad - 3800.

I was referring to the link to download AZJIO_Soft_PB.7z
You're a pretty smart guy so I thought I might take a look. It's not a matter of VPN. I could VPN into Russia but won't matter because it is the script that is being blocked by my Umatrix extension preventing the download and I still won't trust yandex any more if I use a VPN. I do lots of downloads that don't require me to allow scripts. That was really my only point.

Do you think Google is whiter than Yandex because someone said so?
Didn't you say that an antivirus is a useless program? What makes your plugin different from an antivirus? Do you think it checks scripts?

What do you mean by "hackers"? Does it mean smart people or thieves? You're acting like a racist right now, associating certain sins with a race, which shows that you can't resist propaganda. You don't have the intelligence for it.

It is not antivirus, It is a firewall-- read the specs defined by the creator. "firewall", not antivirus.
This is all the functionality of the defender. Only one works for the programs located in the file and in memory (external connected devices), and the second for the programs loaded with a browser and preventing their execution. The only difference is that one works in the browser, but the purpose is the same: to protect against malicious code.
