Transfered from Feddit.ch as they closed up shop unfortunately.
This guy has an interesting perspective on that topic. He provides good points on how what you’re saying could be wrong
I don’t know of a guide but I’d suggest making a new anonymous account (email and privacy card) but make sure it’s created while using a VPN (for that initial IP log) and then continue to use it on a VPN (don’t forget DNS in general too). Then be sure to be on Linux and use the Flatpak as it’s a sandboxed application. I read a thread about viruses in a Proton environment and how they can still access other parts of your system so there may be a weak point in the sandbox with Proton, but I’m no expert and have little knowledge on the subject.
I did and got the same results unfortunately. Good to know though, thank you
I’ve recently converted two people from Windows to Linux with Fedora Kinoite. One of them has been using it for maybe two months now without a single issue and the other just started using it with positive first impressions. I find it very modern, simple, and familiar. The atomic system just works too. I enjoy it much more than Mint
I remembered seeing the video in my feed but never watched it. I just checked again and it’s not there. Must have been removed
I’ve been using Mint on one of my computers for a few years and recently got into Fedora KDE. I find Fedora KDE to be much more modern than Mint so people get a good first impression of Linux. KDE also is just as familiar as Mint for Windows users in my opinion. I also find the atomic Kinoite to simply just work and the fact that it’s much more difficult to screw up I think is a plus for normal PC users.
When he heard of an alternative to Windows he jumped on it as he’s unhappy with Windows, like so many are.
People are sick and tired of Windows, subscriptions everywhere, and many other poor trends in life so you don’t really have to force people anywhere. They are unhappy but don’t know alternatives exist so when they hear about them many people are excited for change.

I’ve used Lineage on multiple devices, Calyx, and Graphene. Graphene by far has the least issues (basically none), and the best compatibility in my experiences. Being able to relock the boot loader is perfect for a mobile device too.
I’ll checkout the ublue stuff, thanks for the heads up. I started with Mint but agree with you, Kinoite is a perfect replacement. Very familiar UI, very modern, and all the stuff you said.
That’s not native to Kinoite and since the computer is for my Dad and it’ll be his first Linux experience I don’t want to be adding things with RPM-OSTree. I did add some more info on the key into my post. I hope that helps you

Everything. Data breaches/leaks happen all the time. The more these companies have to admit what happened and be shamed and fined the more they will care about security for their customers.
To add to this I’d also pay attention to the Android version that the OS is based on. Last I checked e/OS is a few versions outdated. GrapheneOS works very very well, you (OP) just have to understand how to set it up for your use case.
I agree. I don’t know why people believe Apple and their privacy fasaude. There is plenty of evidence to show they’re a monopoly on the data to make all the money for themselves, as well as closed source means you can’t trust or verify anything they claim.
Fairly decent advice in my opinion
Good to know. Another comment thread was talking about how it wasn’t open source
You’re welcome. I find Fedora to be much more up to date and refined than Ubuntu but also very stable still, at least the atomic variants as those are what I use. Also Ubuntu has all the controversy about trying to force their own packages at you as well as other things
