Fantastic, this is extremely helpful, thank you! 🥇 I wanted to test a couple of distros for my Thinkpad, and I’ll make sure to check and save this kind of information from live USBs.

Thank you, that’s useful info, I didn’t know about this. Could you be so kind to share some link, or say something more, about lspci and lsmod and how to proceed from them to identifying which drivers one should install? Cheers!

Thanks for the recommendations!

You brought back memories and I got interested. Interesting reading about privacy:

How much of it is true?

Travelors = travellers + sailors. I like that!

Thank you for the link, I wasn’t aware of that bug. I deleted all google cookies by hand, and now everything seems to be working as it should!

My transition was quite smooth, but everyone has different circumstances. It wasn’t a problem with banking in my case, I just changed my email at the bank. But probably your bank works differently?

In my case the good thing is that my email is hosted and handled by me, so I need something like Protonmail just as an emergency email in case my hosting server is down. (Sure I could use Google that way, but I just don’t want to.)

Thank you for the extra link! Interesting guides there even besides email.

Partly off-topic: is that true even when one uses PGP? Email security and encryption is something I know very little about, unfortunately.

Thank you for the heads-up about the client restrictions!

4 years, that says something about reliability. Thank you!

Uh, never heard of indeed, thank you! Let me take a look.

That’s great and that’s what I did as well. It also feels safer to have old email just in my computer (with backups of course) and not somewhere in the cloud. I only keep a year of past emails in the server, just for reference. Will check Fastmail, cheers!

Thank you! I’m exploring it right now and I agree on the more friendly feeling.

Hey, I appreciate the honesty! I’m looking into Tutanota right now, thank you for the heads-up :)

+1 about the protest aspect.

It does seem to work, thank you very much! I’ve also been deleting some desktop files that were corrupted (although not used by any mime type), that may have also helped.

I had never seen that menu before, thank you!! I’ll try that and report back.

Thank you for sharing your experience with it. Good to hear from many people that it was reliable.

Thanks for the encouragement, I will! I’ll report here in case anyone is curious.
