doesnt have to be an emp or solar flare. one malicious actor getting access to the wallets is all it takes and far more likely in my view

i wanted to move my google stuff to Proton this year as a Backup for my self hosted stuff. Shame, seems like I need to put a little more time into managing my self hosted stuff

i wouldn’t generally say not ready for newbies. It depends on your hardware and your individual way of doing things.

you cannot just expect that year or decade long windows habits translate seamlessly to Linux. so there will be a bit of a wall to climb for most people and many failed attempts. that is ok. just try again if you feel like it and you will arrive eventually with a hell of a new computer related problem solving skillset you automatically pick up along the way

lol

I switched a year or so ago and never looked back. there will be issues you need to overcome though. so better start with dualboot before windows 10 is eol

KDE plasma is one of the main reasons the linux desktop is so extremely good for me.

if you think so too, please consider donating to the project

fairphone Support is really helpful. try it even without warranty if the screw thing doesnt work

for this reason I waited for the Fairphone 5 which is responsive, has an oled display and the components Work without issue. have had it for a year and am looking forward to still using it in 6 years from now

another advantage of the glorious fairphone

KDE with version 6 is where it’s at. at least for me. youncan use the default or put hours into customizing. gnome is nice, too but bothers me because i want to minimize, maximize and control things like the volume without barriers. but that is personal preference. choose what you Like. if you arent happy or just curious you can always Switch

well thats unfortunate. Personally I’d rather click away one message per year while knowing I donate 40 euros every quarter than having the project die or degrade in the long run.

I think if you complain, you should contribute(either through effort or donation) to make such pop ups unnesseccary.

KDE Plasma albeit a bit bloated in default state is freaking amazing and getting better with every update.

Enjoy whatever DE you Like and complain as you like but just complaining is not going to fix Problems

too big but that doesnt invalidate using linux instead of Windows

but not voting or voting red means actively Supporting fascism. on one side you had an old guy who was visibly getting older and on the other side you have a almost comically evil group of persons who want nothing more than to make life more miserable for all people on earth but themselves

the choice should be obvious

bitwarden/vaultwarden. currently the best experience for me. and youncan self host it

games done quick is on

until you can no longer log on with just a local Account. or your Data gets backed up for you anyway. Enshittification is one exec decision away

kde connect is my recommendation also

a vpn doesn’t protect you if an app is compromised. vpn is just putting your device into another person’s or organization’s Network.

I am not really familiar with how android sandboxes apps but I wouldn’t trust my phone not being compromised after installing a potentially compromised app.

that is of course an option. not my cup of tea though. if I need to do things like that to play some games, I’d rather not play them at all and put my time into games from devs which don’t actively sabotage linux compatibility. That doesn’t mean I don’t miss playing for example pubg or valorant

And „normal“ would mean a total invasion of privacy and accepting games installing malware? Bowing your head and install bootloader destroying windows on an otherwise fine machine instead of owning your system? Then I’d recommend not playing those games
