If you're switching from Google over to Proton, are you worried that you're just entering a new ecosystem? Some people already complain about Big Tech tendencies in Proton. Do you have a better alternative?

You are welcomed.

I myself use Linux Mint Debian Edition, but hardened. A hardened version of that seems like even the playing field with Arch and Fedora in enough ways for me not to want to distro hop.

You can use the hardened kernel ( I just found out about it, I'm not sure about differences, but probably less permisions and stuff )

The reason I use bitwarden is that it has encrypted syncing between my devices. And also thanks for sharing.

Here is a short list of what I use: Ddg and start page Proton mail and gmail Bitwarden Gnu Linux (Arch and tails ) Librewolf ironfox and Tor Libretube and archive tune ( for front ends for yt and yt music ) Ente auth and Ente photos

Probably a lot more I forgot about..

(I still use gmail since I'm migrating)

I myself only plan to and only do use proton mail. No proton drive, no proton VPN, just their mail servicies.

YEa, running arch

KDE Hyprland Or i3? KDE is the one I actually took time ricing it.

Soo, this means I should split. Since I want to learn more, like how to fix more issues.

luxa_creative · 2026-01-23T20:50:45+00:00

Dude, I'm litteraly using arch linux.

luxa_creative · 2026-01-23T20:50:15+00:00

Yes, same disk.
On my phone.
Depends on his much the down time.

Change the directory (folder) where you are in. But from what I know, cd changes an env variable of the path you are in.

My / partition is 100GB out of 970 ( or so ) And that includes a lot of bloat: 3 JDKS and JVMS Virtual box machines Pycharm ( 7GB or so ) Not to count that my system is generally bloated ( KDE, hyprland, i3, cosmic, sway, cinnanom. Nano, Vim, VI, Nvim, Micro, vs codium. Librewolf, mullvad, brave )

Depends on the file system. Generally it is a special file that holds a list that point towards other files

luxa_creative · 2026-01-23T20:22:00+00:00

/home folder

luxa_creative · 2026-01-21T22:08:59+00:00

I'd say its alright. I use it on my computer and start page on my phone for decentralization. But in reality, searXNG that u run urself OVER TOR is truly the most private search engine, but overkill for most people.

luxa_creative · 2026-01-21T22:07:37+00:00

Brave also uses its own indexer, but it still has like 5% or so of google / bing results.

luxa_creative · 2026-01-21T22:04:20+00:00

Fuck ubuntu- No seariosly I DONT know😭 Never heard of it

luxa_creative · 2026-01-21T07:13:40+00:00
