Not sure it’s a good idea to recommend Arch Linux to newbies migrating from Windows; maybe prioritize Mint or similar?
this is not a recommendation post. this is what i personally use as i said in the title. i would always recommend Mint to a Linux beginner
I misread, my bad. Good for you 👍
I would rather see people use Firefox than Vivaldi. We need a more diverse browser engine market to keep the web open. More here: https://better-tech.eu/web/article/switch-browsers/
i use librewolf on PC (which is a firefox fork) and vivaldi on phone :3
Decent list, but I’d recommend Threema instead of Signal
doesnt that cost money?
Nothing is for free. If not with money, youre probably paying with data
The problem is, getting people to start using it. What’s app is free and everybody uses it. If you want them to switch, rather use somthing that’s also free over something with a cost barrier.
Signal is based in California, but they’re a nonprofit.
I thought it was odd to see it in an European alternative list.
I don’t personally have issues with nonprofits or FOSS as exceptions to my own personal boycott of US companies, but if anyone is looking for an alternative to Signal, SimpleX is probably the closest analog.
It’s decentralized and funded globally. It’s based in the UK.
