  • Use multiple browsers… Chromium for google services if you must, Tor for everything anonymous that does not require captcha, IceCat for any additional resource intensive tasks like video calls, and for the rest use free browser like Epiphany, Midori or Falkon.

    But as you asked for Windows there is not many open source browsers so you have to blindly trust anyone like Edge, Opera, Chrome, Vivaldi, other chromium forks… If you choose to use these proprietary browsers you might want to use something overseas (in example if you are American use Yandex browser) instead local ones so the data they gather is less likely used against you, however it might be sold as less anonymized depending on origin, who knows. Also if you use a proprietary browser I would not do anything deeply personal or political or even visit forums like Lemmy.





  • I agree that and slightly smaller battery would not be an issue for me neither. Also it would not necessarily be much thicker than external case that glass phones pretty much need.

    Its just that phones are marketed in a way more cameras, thinner, bigger screen to body ratio etc, all irrelevant in use, just pretty to look at. Well cameras I have not taken such shots it would be useful and screen to body ratio only makes phones harder to hold.

    GNOME Software is one of the only GNOME apps I dislike, it often does not work or loads slowly and uses a lot of memory and the interface is not up-to-date :(

    But functionally it would work… What I wish for is Lutris getting flatpak support or preferably brand new app launcher focused on flatpak.



  • I have no technical knowledge on flatpaks, maybe someone can confirm isn’t sand boxing it provides fine for non crucial / system apps like games fine ?

    I do wish there was more repositories than flathub however especially because they do not separate non-free apps. I also wish flatpak had dedicated gui app for repo and update management, launching apps etc.
