That's the neat part, you don't.

The more you look, the worse it gets.

– Is supporting tray icons important? – What icons? Let the plugin community worry about that. – You're hired!

I assume you need to pay for exit node hosting + traffic, right? Which would be comparable to the price of a classic VPN.

Seems like you have bigger issues than corporate surveillance.

Bikes are great.

Yeah but everything that I named would say Ubutnu. That's important. Until you know more, you'll already be using Ubuntu. That's why “anybody uses Ubuntu”.

I have to use Whatsapp, unfortunately. Are there any good alternatives to the default app on Android?

I'm worried about all the data it shares with Meta. I denied all permissions but this makes it less convenient, and the app probably still sends over the data that available without them.

 

I'm a software developer with a platform-independent stack (java / postgre / mysql / intellij / docker), I use a Linux distro. I have a workstation, but would like to be able to work away from home. Good battery life, small size, staying cool under load are the priorities; I don't need a lot of power. So I thought maybe I should try ARM?

My first idea was to get a [refurbished] MacBook Air and learn how to use MacOS, although I'd love to support something... less proprietary and more open. I've never used an ARM Linux distro or ARM laptops, and I'm not sure how good they are for my application.

What is your experience?
