  • I used EndavourOS for a while until I realized I didn’t use any of the distros features after the installation.

    archinstall is basically just a text menu with the same option as a GUI installer.

    I ended up with a vanilla arch install with my preferred DE. Drivers installed, network configured. Ready to go.




  • I can understand the funds for Ukraine 100%. They are fighting a giant aggressor that has superior numbers.

    But doesn’t Israel have a pretty huge and well equipped army considering their population? Especially compared to Hamas that is a guerrilla force.

    Also the fighting is limited to a area that is fenced in by them, Egypt and the Mediterranean. What kind of new military equipment worth 14 billion would be needed?

    It’s also ironic to support a conflict with 14 billion and on the other side plan 9 billion for humanitarian aid to combat the misery needed because of it.






  • I switched from Proton to Tutanota for two main reasons.

    1. I didn’t want to put all my eggs into one basket, just like you. With Tutanota I get email and calendar in one package. For VPN and online storage I use independent solutions (Mullvad, local solution via syncthing). Related to this, I don’t like paying for a bundle of programs when I only really want to use a subset.

    2. Proton isn’t following through all the way. They keep adding services (password manager and captchas recently), but they don’t provide the same experience across all devices. I’m on linux and their drive doesn’t offer a client that syncs my folder with essential documents. I have to manual upload. That’s a dealbreaker for me.


  • I used it for the first time on my tablet. I went from LineageOS with unlocked bootloader to debloated Stock OS.

    I found it well documented. It has filters to mark apps for removal. You can be conservative or more aggressive. It tells you the purpose of each package and even if it unexpectedly affects functions that shouldn’t be linked to them at all.

    Having a way to reinstall Stock android is a good precaution though.
