Another good gmail alternative is kmail. Another good WhatsApp alternative is matrix. Change organic maps to comaps, it is fork of it but community focused. Another google photos alternative is aves, much better than fossify gallery. When using obtanium, you might want to install appverifier to check if app is legit. Another YouTube alternatives are peertube and odysee. Brave is bad, its CEO likes crypto and ai. Mullvad vpn is good vpn, you can also use tor. Instead of google wallet you can use curve wallet or upcoming Walt. Also, good alternative to google search is 4get

I wish that I could switch to it but my main phone doesn’t have build for any Linux distro. And I would have to make one myself

Linux@lemmy.ml•Coworker wants to try Linux with gaming, Bazzite or Mint?Polski
1·7 months agoI havent used it for few month so i dont remember too much but i do remember bloatware such as discord overlay, like some unofficial linux client mod

Linux@lemmy.ml•Coworker wants to try Linux with gaming, Bazzite or Mint?Polski
4·7 months agoUsing something called rpm-ostree. rpm-ostree is a hybrid image/package system. It combines libostree and libdnf to provide atomic and safe upgrades with local RPM package layering. Still that isnt real package manager since you cannot remove or install anything from fedora repo, it is only used for updates and thats all

194·7 months agoDefinitely not bazzaite, it has lots of unremovable bloatware and since it doesn’t have native package manager it will be a problem. For gaming i propose cachyos, it focuses a lot on performance in games. They have their own proton, kernel and they even had their own browser
I used eos as my main distro before switching to kubuntu and then to cachyos. One of best arch Linux forks. It is just like arch Linux + archinstall but is actually better than it.
It is a really good solution though. I saved it for later
cool project, would fhag case fit keys-to-go 2 though? i think it is similiar

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•is it fine to leave steam deck in sleep mode instead of turning it off?
6·10 months agoWell, thanks for that information. Good to know that battery runs out when in sleep actually

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•[Discussion] Should this community also cover the Steam Machine and/or Steam Frame?
5·10 months agoI think yes since biggest steam deck discord has channels for other steam hardware

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Cromite a Bromite fork with ad blocking and privacy enhancements
21·11 months agoCromite is bad browser and shouldnt be used. Use vivaldi or iron fox instead
Cromite including the incredibly sketchy Eyeo content filtering engine and stuff like additional codecs goes against what we’re trying to achieve. We also don’t think the randomization-based anti-fingerprinting approach works, among other issues. We care about implementing things properly instead of rushing to have as long of a feature list as possible at the expense of robustness, privacy, security and maintainability. It probably won’t last with the way they’re taking things.

Yes, ironfox is good too (i forgot to mention it) but on grapheneos you will want to end up using their browser
Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they’re currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface. Gecko doesn’t have a WebView implementation (GeckoView is not a WebView implementation), so it has to be used alongside the Chromium-based WebView rather than instead of Chromium, which means having the remote attack surface of two separate browser engines instead of only one. Firefox / Gecko also bypass or cripple a fair bit of the upstream and GrapheneOS hardening work for apps. Worst of all, Firefox does not have internal sandboxing on Android. This is despite the fact that Chromium semantic sandbox layer on Android is implemented via the OS isolatedProcess feature, which is a very easy to use boolean property for app service processes to provide strong isolation with only the ability to communicate with the app running them via the standard service API. Even in the desktop version, Firefox’s sandbox is still substantially weaker (especially on Linux) and lacks full support for isolating sites from each other rather than only containing content as a whole. The sandbox has been gradually improving on the desktop but it isn’t happening for their Android browser yet. Also, having exodus integration in app downloader is good but not worth it for exchange of no signature verification, so it’s better to just check it in browser instead or use their app to check trackers
On grapheneos you should be using vanadium since its most secure browser on phone. On other android devices, use brave instead. Also if family and friends dont want to use signal but want to use whatsapp then uninstall whatsapp, one way or another they would have to either end up using sms or other form of contact
Some apps that you use are not safe. Aurora store doesnt send too much data to google but it doesnt verify app signatures which can lead to installing malicious apps, use normal play store instead which verifies app signatures (its also suggested to use by grapheneos devs). Whatsapp, collects data about you. Cromite, uses adblock plus which is really bad. Also here is another reason why cromite is bad:
“Cromite has very problematic changes included which substantially reduce privacy and security. It reduces security more than it improves it. For example, it includes the highly problematic Eyeo filtering engine from the company behind Acceptable Ads, Adblock Plus, etc. which took over the forked uBlock extension misleading people with the name pretending to be the uBlock Origin project among other extensions. Eyeo’s C++ code is low quality and has memory corruption issues… Cromite including the incredibly sketchy Eyeo content filtering engine and stuff like additional codecs goes against what we’re trying to achieve. We also don’t think the randomization-based anti-fingerprinting approach works, among other issues”.
Its on gaming laptops so when you are playing, you dont accidentally open windows menu
