GrapheneOS sometimes sacrifices privacy for security.

I had way more privacy related features and controls on a rooted LineageOS phone (which was obviously much less secure)

There is probably no out of the box solution, but if you want to give it a go and hack it together, this combination might work (or it might not, I don’t think anybody tried yet)

Sorry for the link dump - I just glanced over the content and it seems like this might help you:

This works really well. The readme says “local network” at the beginning, but it works across the internet by sharing a link.

I use Dokploy and I think it fills exatly the same role.

sr.ht is pretty good if you don’t care about a web GUI

Doesn’t Tails too?

Personally using Threema and happy with it.

Since you say

change the path the .wav audio file

fyi, the sys BAT paths are also different per laptop. Just in case it doesn’t work for somebody else or for you on a different laptop.

Depends on their specific needs, so they should probably jump into some Linux community and ask for themselves.

My anecdotal evidence includes vastly different experiences.

I have a friend who hates Linux desktop and exclusively uses it for running dev related stuff via WSL.

Another who uses Linux desktop primarely, but dualboots Windows for certain games.

And I am on Linux single boot and rarely use KVM (without GPU) for running my CNC or other software.

Very nice.

I’m very excited, because in the past I have bounced off KDE development. Coming from a java and web background, the tooling and dev environment was just mindboggling.

Why do so many external entities care so much about constantly trying to reduce my privacy?

If they would not have started it, I wouldn’t have started to care.

The most annoying ones for me personally, in no particular order:

tldr: nothing works - sorry for being bitter

I just hope they fix window rules

As far as I can see it is just Debian with LXDE, firefox ESR and some other packages preinstalled.

If they respect the license, you as a user can ask for the source code by e-mail.

But from my point of view, you can just install plain old Debian and all the same software and get a long term proven OS that will not randomly disappear and a huge userbase for support questions.

Here is a list of funded projects:

If anybody wants to look depper into their claim of “proven success”.

I browsed through it shallowly and didn’t find any project that I know/use, nor were the projects which I have randomly clicked on any interesting, when they had a working, usable result at all and not just designs or proof of concepts.

I know it sounds cynical, but I honestly don’t mean it negatively. I just wanted to look a bit into it because their claims seemed without substance to me.

But as I said I only looked at it very shallowly so far.

Now actually use it for a couple of years. Then you’ll see whats special about it.

For me personally, Ubuntu was breaking on every dist upgrade, the software was always out of date or not available in the repos. Been running arch for 5 years, same install, even transplanted it over to newer computers without issues. When some package is missing, I can throw together a PKGBUILD with chatgpt and put it on the AUR for others to use. It fucking rocks and is extremely sturdy while allowing me to do with it whatever I want.

But yeah, besides that, it’s just a linux. The individual things it does well are not even exclusive to arch. Ideally, you should not think about your OS at all and it should be out of your way, while you do something on it.
