Thank you!

Can you ellaborate the Linux Distros? I’m considering switching from Windows to Linux and currently informing myself about the different distros. Why are they better than Mint and Ubuntu or what is wrong with them?

I tried it and it’s pretty nice indeed. But while I could convince my familie and friends to use Signal, there is no chance that they will use SimpleX. It’s too unknown and “techy” for most of them.

Last time I used thunderbird was many years ago, like 10 years or so. Can you create a mail adress there? How does it compare to other providers like Tuta, Proton, Posteo and others?

Doesn’t Matrix have a huge problem with metadata or am I not up to date with this?

What about SimpleX Chat? Comes without identifiers, is open source and not located in the US. Relay Servers are located in Germany, UK and Sweden and it’s possible to host your own. Last audit was in 2024. No metadata is stored. Fundings are handled very transparently and presentated on the Website.

Not meaning to advertise it, just genuine interested in other peoples opinion.

Agree with that. I would like to support them and the cables look fantastic, but the price is too much tbh.
