Tips hat. That’s some cleverly painful poetry, good Sir!

Actually, it’s also the someone that makes the distro controversial. (Spoiler: poorly veiled bigotry in link.)

Seriously though… I wouldn’t want fascists’ money anywhere near my pet distros, regardless of volume. As they say: “He who pays the piper calls the tune.”

That’s an extremely solid list, mate. You can be proud of that. May I ask how long it took you to transition to this state?

In case you’re still willing to adjust one thing or another, here’s some food for thought:

1. You’re still running a relatively Proton-heavy loadout. They’re hosting your mail, VPN, docs, calendar and AI services. In case of a breach (attacker gains access to your account) or a company employee / the company itself going rogue, you will have several eggs in that particular basket affected, and a few very sensitive ones at that. Diversification might be an option, e.g. getting a separate mail provider, running your docs and calendar through a (self-hosted?) Nextcloud instance, etc.
2. Personally, I’ve never felt comfortable with the idea of my password manager being cloud-accessible, regardless of how tight the security on the other end claims to be. KeepassXC (on Linux) and KeepassDX (on Android/GrapheneOS) work extremely well. They’ve even gained Passkey support recently. Add Syncthing to the mix for cloudless cross-device sync and you’ve got yourself an entirely offline password manager.
3. You may want to fix the “FUTO” spelling in those two headlines. ;)

Maybe it’s because I neutered my W11 and only dual boot to launch the occasional game or Windows specific driver

Yes, it’s that. If you’d use it as your daily driver, you would notice. I do tech support at work and there’s hardly a month that goes by without a Win 11 machine sitting on my desk that has - miraculously! - fucked-up drivers or other issues after an “update”.

Oh, it “harms democracy”, doesn’t it? How about this headline: social media fuels a genocide by spreading rumors, Myanmar finds. But alas, that was 2017 and only brown people getting harmed in some far-away place, so it’s old news and nothing to hold Facebook accountable for, eh?
