What have you been using instead? I've been using Thunderbird since I was 13 at least, literally never used a single other desktop mail client since then. So I wonder what other mail clients people use.
Your personal files? Back them up onto an external drive in Windows and then copy them into your home directory after installing Linux.
If it's app data also copy it into an external drive and import it into the apps after installing them on Linux. Depending on the app they may have cloud sync options you can use too.
Tor Browser serves a different purpose/use-case to the first two. The first two are intended for everyday browsing while I've never heard of anyone using Tor Browser as their daily browser—and if you log into websites then using Tor Browser as your daily driver would defeat the anonymity purposes if you're logging in anyway.
I use librewolf for everyday browsing and Tor Browser for things requiring a higher threat model.
The only librewolf default I find inconvenient is no persistent cookies. I just disable deleting cookies when I close the browser and the other defaults ive not touched. Other than some Firefox defaults I don't like the behaviour of, but none of the librewolf-specific defaults.
You're not. I think that's the experience of most Linux users. It's selection bias; I don't go to forums to make a post advertising how my system is working great with no bugs. When my system is working great with no bugs I just use it; I don't talk about it.
Yeah that's fair. And my pitch-shifting is not for a particularly well-resourced/dedicated threat model, literally just "would I recognise this as my voice if I heard it"—obviously insufficient if your adversary is going to put effort into identifying your voice.
I'm a bit surprised that no one has made a good preset for voice disguising. I might just keep layering effects for further obfuscation.
Crazy to me how developers would rather abandon a project (e.g. the Linux version of their software) than open source it so that the community can continue it. If you're abandoning it then it's not generating profit for you anymore anyway, so literally no reason not to open source it. Oh no, are you worried people will use that to build Windows versions for free instead of paying for a licence? Boo hoo.
I guess it depends on where you are. Here medical records are on a centralised computer system already.
At least on a centralised computer system one would hope that the state would hire someone competent to set it up and harden it. Whereas there's only so much you can do to physically protect a piece of paper from being accessed—although I suppose also less likely that malicious actors would try to do a physical heist to steal paper medical records too.
In the jobs I work at, no, I wouldn't. Body cams would only be used to snitch on people. It makes sense for surveillance to be used over people in positions of power like cops, doctors, prison guards, etc, who are known for abusing their power. Not against ordinary people or members of the public though. If retail workers wear bodycams, it's to snitch on shoplifters. If teachers wear bodycams it'd compromise kids who approach them to tell them something in confidence. Etc.
It'd be on record by the same organisation that has access to your medical records anyway. Doctors are frequently known for abuse of power over disabled patients, trans patients, racialised patients, etc, so it makes it easier to take action against negligent/abusive doctors.
That's just resistFingerprinting. Not sure if you can disable it in Mull Browser but it's an about:config option for all Firefox-based browsers on desktop.
The suggestions people are making are good but I want to point out that GrapheneOS has good defaults so you don't need to do much except use your phone. If you don't have a particularly high threat model you shouldn't need to make any other considerations (beyond just what software you use on your phone, like if you use something like discord or whatever)
Yeah you're right that's not a useful answer. This question in particular was also prompted by being linked a public resource, so even if I got someone else to download it for me and send it to me as a .ods file (it was a Google Sheets link specifically), that would just be offloading who visits the google site to someone else. Ie using your friend as a proxy. Which may be fine if you just don't want to visit the site yourself and that's your only objection, but I am pretty easily traceable to the type of friend who would send me a google docs link, and it definitely doesn't offer the same anonymity as a proxy like Piped which is used by a lot of people (as opposed to a proxy like my friend, a proxy which is only used by one person...)
I know Librewolf says that. I have tried to use Sync but after signing into my Mozilla account Librewolf doesn't recognise me as logged in and doesn't sync.
