Linux Mint is still going strong after being my daily driver for 4 months, and I don't think i will be going back anytime soon.

  • For what it’s worth, Apex Legends literally runs smoother on my Arch Linux install than my Windows 10 install. It was completely unexpected, but a very welcome discovery.

    • What apps do y’all use?

  • Just started with using Lunatask to help keep myself on task, and help me remember a lot of the little things I tend to forget. I’m still learning what the app is fully capable of, but it’s been super helpful to me so far.

    It is an end-to-end encrypted, cross-platform, todo list, notebook, habit and mood tracker, and journaling app built with ADHD brains in mind. The creator has also expressed some willingness to open source in the future, but there is no guarantees there.

  • Yeah, I'm not huge on the web3 stuff and P2P has some drawbacks in terms of function, but having the ability to message cross-platform over Bluetooth is amazing.

    That being said, I'm not planning to switch over from Signal anytime soon for my primary communications.

    • Open Source recommendations for someone trying to ditch iOS?

    Jump

  • Hey! I wrote up a list of Open Source iOS apps on the Privacy Guides community.

    I've been slowly trying to become platform agnostic, so I can switch back and forth between OSs without losing function. I'm not 100% there, but I hope this list helps you too if you are looking to go that route.

    Copying the relevant bits here.

  • I mean, they most certainly have the technical ability to hack anyone. If you think they don’t strategically stockpile and use zero-days, you aren’t paying attention.
