  • If I want a simple chat protocol, I use IRC or XMPP. These are battle proven by time. If I want a really secure protocol, I use Signal or Matrix. These are endored by many security experts who their shit when they assess protocols, crypto and solutions.

    SimpleX may be a good alternative for anonymous communication, but there is plenty options out there. Considering how many startups are funded by cheap VC money, and the business model is always "provide something awesome, and once you have enough traction - enshittify it" makes me very weary of investing myself in new solutions no matter how open-source the are.

    I may sound bitter and skeptic, but I've seen this pattern has been repeated many times over.

  • I'm running Ubuntu on an XPS and everything worked OOTB (except for IR-cameras) - even the nvidia drivers. Ubuntu has really good hardware support, but I wouldn't count on Dell being reliable on linux compatibility.
