Hey google, take some mo’ my money to… Degoogle
Not a single GOS pump you can say to me to willingly hand over a single dollar to google. Instant compromise of values

This is the only proper response if anyone still has a reddit account
Been running F44 Cosmic Atomic for months. Did have one show stopper (for me) bug, so rebased to Silverblue for a bit, then back again after resolved
But overall its been fantastic. Snappy, Kind of minimal, and honestly quite beautiful (for my personal zen, YMMV)
I do like the pace they are fixing items & introducing new features
At the height those of us who weren’t on there got mocked by f&f lol
Now we look like Nostradamus geniuses to them. For me it was just the trait of being a more private person in all things, no genius foresight,
Fully agree on your less is more stance


This is the good news, thank you
Migrated to Keepass shortly before the price increase ( not because of it) just for the reason of wanting my vault fully offline. Seeing these changes at BW still makes me sad, was a long time paying user & truly enjoyed it
Keepass is fantastiic, my vault is pretty static so just manually copy to other device as needed. And of course, have your full backup plan in place as with all things


Librewolf my faithful friend always


Yeah its like those sports headlines where they try vibe you up for some trash talk
“Player A had a perfectly blunt statement about Player B”
Only to read & find out they said Player B was great, such drama lol
All just rage bait everywhere, AI or human that’s the clicks plan


I use both same products, just manually copy to phone periodic as my vault is pretty static
Made the move from bitwarden not that long ago, actually a bit before their price increase (just timing not because of it). Nothing bad about BW to say, it worked great for me for years.
My motivation was wanting my password manager fully offline.
Keepass are fantastic programs, and actually now more pleased with my move after seeing some negative moves from BW I needn’t be concerned with
+1 for Keepass!


The e/os Advanced Privacy feature is very nice, great way to see which apps have tracker whilst blocking them. Same as running DNS filters but built in experience, easy to view
In itself LOS is fantastic but needs be combined with something like reThinkDNS or another DNS filtering option
Rethink on LOS is fantastic, in particular if you can do the whitelist method - block everything by default, and permit only that which you approve. Takes some time & effort but great control is the reward
I prefer layers, example LOS w/rethink DNS all going thru Control D or NextDNS with Hagezi lists enabled
Overkill? Perhaps , but I love the reporting , helps in learning what’s going on, and apps/sites to be avoided


Posteo has been fantastic for me, but no bring your own domain as some have mentioned a deal breaker if that’s your bag
Super cheap, unsure on any political stances but they embrace being green / sustainable so that’s usually a give away :)
Use it with betterbird and Thunderbird android just works great


Windscribe has Anonymous Account (Hashed Login)


Fairphone should focus on helping the Linux options move along, no need waste resources on GOS, just another android ROM
Long term android should die off in place of Linux but its a long road
Have UT running on a Nord phone, they have made good strides over the years, appreciate their dedication


Blg fan of fedora atomic Cosmic been my daily for awhile but ran into a show stopper bug (for me) with release 44
So as wait on that resolve thought I’d try KDE again, and it just felt so busy & cluttered lol
Back to Silverblue with few tweaks and it feels just like home. Simple, beautiful, elegant & snappy
Gnome is fantastic indeed, no hurry to leave
We each have our personal zen, options are good


Librewolf has done a great job and has a strong stance on disabling/removing AI pieces
But yeah, it’s just sad to always be fighting against the tide


Love my Fedora Atomic Cosmic, but absolutely we all be watching to see where they go, and if needed will play the distro-hop game in attempt to stay in the AI free zone


Similar. Just months ago moved from BW to KeePassXC and android equiv
Nothing bad say about Bitwarden its fantastic & served me well, but wanted to go fully offline
Manually updating the phone is not nearly the deal I thought would be, as my logins fairly static & use my phone as little as possible for most items where logins needed
Of course each of us has separate use cases, but +1 for KeePass really like it


A good read, and yeah along with others comments, I’ll just stick to Opensnitch which really has truly been fantastic for years now
Just got curious when saw the announcement. No need to change anything :)


Years ago as I started research I literally laughed at loud at the thought of buying a google phone to… Degoogle!
Talk about an instant compromise of values! Haha!
Then I saw the toxicity of the GOS devs & their fanz & that sealed the deal
Best decision ever to run away from that group of nasties
Ahhhhhh, the zen life
This is fantastic! Loaded on my konstakang android tv box, loaded the m3u playlist below and countless options
Just as a quick test clicked Pluto TV cult films and works fantastic.
Of course, will now need find and favirites will take time, but huuuuge for me as I refuse pay any streaming services
Nice easy GUI, thank you!
