With how easy it is to Massgrave to get a valid Windows key, I personally don’t even consider backing up windows keys lol.

I think it’s probably down to preference. I personally really like Fedora server because it comes pre-installed with the Cockpit webui which replaces the role of Portainer and makes other admin tasks like firewall openings and user management trivial. I’m definetly glad to have switched away from Ubuntu server which I was using before.

I find the ad blocking in Gnome Web to be sufficient. The biggest thing that is holding it back in my opinion is a lack of features like extentions and FIDO support and moderate performance.

Huh. I have personally found SteamVR to be slow and very flakey, even on Windows. I find using monado I can just play. I guess monado has a bit more initial setup, but I personally found it to be worth it.

Maybe they mean that they use flatscreen applications in VR, or maybe they take all their meetings in VRChat.

Yes, Meta shit actually works quite well using Wivrn apart from it being, well, from Meta. lvra.gitlab.io is a treasure trove of Linux VR info. SteamVR is kinda shit on linux, so using the open source openXR runtime Monado is ideal. I personally use a pimax 5k I got cheap used to play Beat saber and it works quite well. While not complete, there is very promising progress on getting WMR headsets working. The Index, Vive and Vive pro all work with no fiddling though if that’s what you’re after.

Same result here. I’m using Gnome-web, which is already pretty niche, so that probably really lowers my score.

Hugo is also pretty cool.

You can use Waydroid on PostmarketOS to install Android apps. It basically runs a full VM for you.

Yes. I’ve only tested it manually scanning to save battery life though.

There is also a FOSS app called Airguard on F-Droid that I found works well.

Fairphone’s support of PostmarketOs shows me that they actually care about their mission.

DivestOS is pretty awesome. It allows for bootloader locking, which Lineage can’t do IIRC and it runs very fast on my Pixel 2 xl.

Exactly this. I use Signal for people close to me and SMS or Email for those who don’t use signal, who I don’t have coversations with often anyways. Dispite it’s many, many flaws, I will use SMS before I use a Meta messenger.

This is my dream setup for messaging as well. My problem is that I would not trust 3rd parties to host this setup, but I also have not gotten around to setting it up myself lol.

I did not realize “spezit” was “spez” and “reddit” until I reread your commnt lol. I thought was some reddit privacy frontend with the German pronunciation of “z”.

Because once you learn how to switch browsers once, you already know what the process of changing browsers looks like and what to expect, removing the barriers if you switch again.

It’s like switching from Windows to Ubuntu. Sure, Ubuntu is not perfect, but by installing Ubuntu, you have already learned the process of installing a linux distro and what to expect if you decide to install a different one.

Brave has a built-in adblocker and is not Chrome. If a user is able to make the switch to Brave, they might find it easier when they try to switch to something better like Librewolf or Firefox.

While that is one possible reason, lets keep an open mind for any other possible ways that the comment gained votes.

It also has bootloader locking for some devices, which is a plus.
