I use EndeavourOS Xfce because it’s Arch with pacman and not Flathub or Snap. Plus, I love the simplicity and the performance boost you get with Xfce (even if it’s a small boost with a modern gaming PC).

I second EndeavourOS. It’s so good!

They force you to give them your phone number. No phone number = not allowed to use Signal. Plus, Signal uses servers from Big Tech (just search for it on reddit).

XMPP (mainly Snikket) is the best lightweight option.

Because Signal does not fully respect your privacy.

HopToDesk. https://hoptodesk.com

It’s a fork of RustDesk.

It is very important to mention that you mean end-to-end encryption. The data is stored encrypted when using cloud chat. Nothing (besides phone number what I know) is stored in plain text on Telegram’s servers.

I am not defending Telegram. I am just stating facts.

2 very good reasons: privacy and Big Tech.

Indeed. Far the best camera for Android I’ve ever used. Kinda addicted to the timestamp/watermark/something, though, haha! Mighty good feature!

I use Open Camera and the quality is very good. Especially the night mode! What you see with your eyes in a dark room with the TV on, that’s what you will see in the photo. Not the same quality on the TV in the photo, of course, but very close.

Linux on all my computers and GrapheneOS on my Google Pixel 6a with 99.8% FOSS applications. Maybe 96% FOSS softwares on my stationary computer and 100% on my laptops.

There’s Linux dists that can only requires less than 200 MB of RAM. Absolute Linux for an example, has a minimum system requirement of 64 MB RAM. Plenty of space left for memory hungry softwares like a browser.

Anywhere in Europe so GDPR can be fully used and so Apple will not have the same power over their users as they have today.

1. They have their own closed eco system
2. They think money is key and throw large amounts at their consumers
3. All source code is closed
4. They are based in USA
5. They love AI

Like what another person said, hate is a strong word. But when it comes to Big Tech, I’m all for the word.

Might have missed adding something to the list. Will add more if I have.

I can highly recommend Baïkal.

Adobe Lightroom Classic. I have darktable installed on Linux, but I haven’t mastered it yet. Lightroom is the software for photo editing, unfortuntately.
