I largely agree. Qubes may not be as user friendly as others, but honestly I think it is the only OS which can get close to Android’s level of security (of course, by taking a hammer to most privilege escalation problems).

I have heard about Accrescent but I’ll wait till it gets more popular before I jump.

Google being broken up might mean the beginning of a demise of both Chromium and Firefox. So we better get on a new engine quick or things are about to get a lot worse.

Unfortunately, I have not found a better way to install the few playstore apps that I need without Aurora store. I guess using it in a different namespace (is that what Shelter does?) is an option.

Great note

Agreed, and I do plan to move to other providers. I should add that I find a desktop client convenient, and I don’t mind the Thunderbird UI at the moment. Unfortunately, lack of a single feature breaks it for me

Never heard of it, will take a look thanks

I’d prefer not to go to their Web UIs because of how much tracking is present on those sites (adding rules and filters to ublock origin for Gmail nearly killed me). I’d prefer a FOSS option.

Yes but I can’t search by the name of the attachment. Unfortunately that’s a deal breaker for me. I need it to search the Content-Type field at the very least and I don’t think it can do that without an extension

How hard is it to just use a decent license like AGPL???

I use Debian with XFCE but I don’t game

Please make this into a blog post or at least a separate post. Fantastic writeup

Install Pop OS and let System 76 worry about Nvidia drivers

Could you explain what you mean by a custom log function?

Thanks got it working

Agreed, but Mozilla now sells your data. And they’re investing in useless rubbish (FOR THE LAST TIME I DON’T WANT AI IN MY BROWSER) and paying their CEO millions whilst their developers aren’t getting much of the pie.

Pulling out simply means that they won’t be present in the local app stores. If you’re savvy enough to know what signal is I think you will do just fine with APKs

Everyone talks about Firefox but I think Ungoogled Chromium deserves a big mention around these parts. I’m sure the privacy community can find a way around on Ungoogled Chromium if FF ceases to exist one day.

Nice. But can I self-host this? And is it better than SearXng?

Flashing Graphene on Pixel or eOS on supported Nothing devices is quite easy TBH. I might even do that

GrapheneOS?

I would think that SUSE’s supported distro is enterprise ready. I don’t have personal experience on it though. I’ve only ever used Tumbleweed once. I hope a SUSE admin can respond.

Using Apple to DeGoogle is a tough one to swallow
