    What wild customisations are you talking about? As someone who used Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse, Arch) exclusively from 2010 and recently moved to bazzite, I only see positives…

    Not OP, but I feel like moving from Google to Zoho is just kicking the can down the road. You don't know how these big corporations will change their product or (more importantly f…

    Blocking the advertising itself only shields you from the advertising, it still lets these services set up the underlying surveillance/advertising system that harms society (and yo…

    If you're interested in self-hosting your orchestration server, you can look into Netbird. It's a very similar tool, but has the server open sourced as well. So you have a self-hos…
