I bought pro back in 2013 I believe. And lifetime ultra once it came out that reddit was banning third party apps as support.

I'm not gonna do.a.subscription. I'm just not.

Would love this. I'm still getting the ftpm stutters and there's no way to disable it in my motherboards bios.

Cli apps not being available as flatpaks is a huge oversight. It makes using flatpaks as my main source of applications a non starter.

I welcome physical proof as well. But this isn’t Bigfoot or Loch Ness or anything like that. There’s a mountain of testimony spanning decades. Too much smoke for there to be no fire.

That's not how it works. Evidence isn't a "nice to have" on top of everything else, it's the bare minimum. Everything else is hearsay.

When something is real it doesn't beg for your trust, it begs for your eyes.

Removable battery and LED notification lights.

More of the software I use is in the repos/aur compared to debian. Which makes everything easier.

Syncthing is absolutely amazing, but it doesn't serve the same purpose as google drive, drive is more of a backup solution. syncthing is not that.

With your current setup if you get some ransomware that encrypts your files in any of your devices you'll lose access to your files in all of them.

Syncthing is S tier software, but it's explicitly not a backup solution.

Got in yesterday. iMessage is working fine through it. I wonder for how long if this gets traction.

I love the idea of osmand. But it's not a substitute for maps at all ATM sadly. Im fairly confident that if I tried to use it to navigate somewhere in my city I'd die.

I'll check immich tho.

Just checked it out. It's self hosted stuff. Most of the suggestions I had up there were low barrier of entry and high privacy gains.

Self hosting is amazing. I have a server myself. But it's not something worth suggesting to people just starting to degoogle.

Edit trying the map some more and might be worth an actual fair try. Thank you

Good painless alternatives:

  • Chrome -> Firefox

  • Gmail/Calendar> Proton

  • Google Search -> Feels like all search engines got SEO'd into uselessness these days, but duckduckgo maybe.

Good but somewhat painful to switch alternatives:

  • Google Drive -> Proton

  • Office -> LaTeX/LibreOffice

  • ChromeOS -> Linux, yeah technically ChromeOS is also linux but come on, you know what I mean.

Less than ideal alternatives:

  • Maps -> Idk, not really many good options, apple maps is good too, but not sure if that's what you're looking for.

  • Android -> Idk, lol iOS, or de-googled android roms. Not many great alternatives there.

Is there anything else you need an alternative to?

I've tried it, doesn't seem to work, thank you though.

Using it because it's the least buggy DE i've tried so far. With a few extensions the workflow isn't too bad either.

I love the design of the applications in general tho, in the sense that they do one thing and one thing only and there aren't a billion options trying to cover every use case without doing any of them well.
