Right, but still quite affordable compared to similar solution with Proton IMHO

Yeah, best combo for me too

Same for me, XFCE is light, stable and efficient. I believe that’s the reason it’s chosen for Debian as default DE

Dell provides XPS laptop with Ubuntu on it. It works great and Ubuntu can be replaced with other distro ( I did successfully tested Mint and now Debian 11)

Works OK but makes your connection slow as hell… Not really useful for daily usage.

You have a link?

OpenBoard with gestures? Where? Version 1.4.5 has no gestures, and it’s the last one… And three is no search feature for emoji, it’s in the ToDo list

Windows… With this only word you already have all the abswers

You’re right for Pinta. Can’t be 100% sure about Paint.NET to be fully open source but as it based on .NET it might be…

Well, GIMP is great but uneasy, not sure but Paint.NET on Windows is simpler but very user friendly and may be sufficient for your needs

Agree to that, especially for video cards and Wi-Fi. These two can be hard to deal with… If your laptop is Wi-Fi only and you don’t have a USB/Ethernet adaptor you may not be able to connect to the net at all

Yes, agree with you, especially your last comment: disable entirely IPv6

Hahaha… 😁

Buy popcorn and Walt for lawsuit…

Totally agree…

Same, Session is great because it focus on privacy. You can contact people only by knowing their public ID but you don’t know their private ID which is used by the user to decrypt the messages. As there is no central server, nothing is kept outside of your local Session instance. Pretty decent to me.

Of course… I can’t even picture myself not using a VPN, I prefer to ditch anything that prevent me to protect my privacy

Absolutely every website you visit or app you use, if they track such info of course.

Oh, very good points you mention here, definitively few red flags. As for the unusual traffic for your IP I experienced it because I’m using a VPN
