I think you don't understand what "privacy" means. Being anonymous is the highest achievable level of privacy. There are levels before that, and Signal is at the bottom of the spectrum (WhatsApp is not even on the spectrum)

=> Signal is doing a bad job if it's goal is "privacy"

I don't like the idea of providers at all. I use SimpleX Chat, there are no identities or registration with a server. Thanks to clever design. Check out this comparison: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/blob/stable/docs/SIMPLEX.md#comparison-with-other-protocols

Lol, privacy is definetely not what you're getting with Signal. They know your entire connection graph, who you talk to, when and how much. They collect all of the phone numbers.

EDIT: It seems like people here don't understand what privacy is. If I know when exactly you take a big shit on the toilet and where you do it, every single time, but I don't know what it looks like when you are doing it, would that be a privacy concern for you?

You seem open minded, have you checked out SimpleX Chat yet? There you have no identity at all, so you don't even have to register an account at some server. This gives much more autonomy and also has some privacy/security benefits.

Security is not enough.

Signal knows your entire connection graph. Who you talk to, at what time and how much. Storing all of the phone numbers/identities on their server. I use SimpleX Chat where you have no identity that can be recorded. It is also easy to use, though it's relatively new and in active production

This.

That is true.

Worth a try. However, the Debian Gnome my university offers has similar delays, so Gnome at least tends to get slow in the environments it normally gets used in. Based on obersavtion. I also don't remember noticing those delays when I tried other flavors of Manjaro like i3

You deserved that tho. Thinking you are "doing the right thing" by paying Microsoft, you have to be really stupid

Running Manjaro Gnome on a thinkpad from 2020. This is the ootb experience for me

Gnome has a core featureset and a robust extension-system if you need more. There is no bloatware in Gnome.

Why is there noticeable delay tho when you open apps like Nautilus or Settings? Not even the terminal opens instantly

No screen tearing out of the box is a huge plus for wayland. Makes recommending GNU/Linux much easier

I think it's southern slang

There are many forks of Android that are used by a lot of people, like LineageOS and GrapheneOS. That is only possible because Android is completely open source

Every hour spent on developing Windows software is completely wasted time of your life. Especially when you understand the importance of GNU/Linux and FOSS. Windows keeps the user enslaved. But most people won't understand that, they don't want to. So all I can reply to that is 🤡

Why do you make Windows software?
