I would say: “Don’t switch to Linux. Just start with Linux and never use Windows or Mac in the first place”

Don’t have to get used to something if you’ve never used something else.

(Not directly answering your question but) if it works like a VPN service then yeah. However, P2P connections might not be routed through TOR in that case. Be careful about that

Definitely. I got a T470s that had barely been used for business purposes on eBay for 100€. It’s a great machine. Lots of I/O, great IPS touchscreen, great backlit keyboard, great trackpad, great build quality, awesome form factor, good battery life (about 6-8 hours). If you need a cheap laptop, get a used ThinkPad. They’re the best bang for the buck imo

Do you mean —? That’s Alt + Minus

Sorry but a word processor that doesn’t trigger a 9 second laggy animation with every button press is just simply unusable

I do use the SimpleLogin aliases, it’s one of my favorite services they offer. Most of my web storage (which I barely use anyway) and calendar and stuff is all Nextcloud

I use both. Proton fits most of my needs, Murena does the rest. I’m not attached to any of them though, if I’m given good enough a reason, I’ll drop Proton immediately

I wouldn’t? I suggested Murena as a Proton alternative. I don’t know if they have a password manager right know but you can always throw a KeePass database into your Nextcloud.

All of the hyperbole and speculation? The SSL stuff with TOR for example. That’s not proof, that’s a hint at best

As the mod of !c/e_os, I am so happy you brought this up. I use /e/ on my Fairphone 4, it’s great. The Easy Installer has come a long way, you should check it out https://doc.e.foundation/easy-installer

Edit: You can also check all the supported devices here

Not only is this article three years old, it is also lacking in terms of sources. Additionally, the language and phrasing is quite inappropriate for the purpose of spreading the information. Lots of text is just mean and offensive without any actual purpose.

It also seems to be largely based on speculation rather than actual solid evidence.

I’m not against investigating the legitimacy of established and trusted privacy-first providers. However, this seems a bit lackluster.

Also: Email is inherently insecure, we all know that. Proton services are open source, independently audited and verifiably E2EE, except for Mail, which uses PGP for the emails themselves and E2EE to store them.

It’s pretty great. Especially considering that you get a full ecosystem with Mail, Calendar, Drive, VPN and Pass.

I would also like to take this opportunity to shout out murena.io. They host open source cloud solutions. You get a Nextcloud with OnlyOffice and lots of other goodies and their pricing is pretty good

This came way sooner than expected, be grateful. It’ll arrive soon enough. Patience, young padawan

Celeste!

All of the answers I got so far were great. I’ll probably use a messaging service though but thank you very much

I’ve used Element and I actually prefer it over Discord. But I use Vim mode in Obsidian so I clearly don’t know squat about usability.

as long as that hasn’t happened yet

Hasn’t happened yet? Have you seen the new mobile app? What usability?

While Discord may be a valid place for your project to gain traction, documentation, etc. shouldn’t be there as Discord is unsearchable. That’s what I’m saying.

Sorry but you can’t be serious. Do you really think that putting documentation, bug reports, FAQ, etc. on a Discord server is not a problem? If you want a place to discuss that is like Discord, use Element or some other FLOSS alternative because it just simply is more sustainable and better as it shows respect towards the user base.
