@Ste41th @privacy I use adguard home with rethinkdns in my android phone.

I’ve been using CalyxOS for a year now and I like it so much. I also tried GrapheneOS but I consider that sandboxed apps are harder to manage than microG in Calyx. I chose simplicity.

@AdrianTheFrog @privacy @AceFuzzLord actually, it depends on the code. If it’s no open source you can’t really know what it is doing with your data. Therefore not all things you install in you local computer are equally insecure (or secure)

@Charger8232 @g0nz4 I guess in that case “proprietary” refers to the owners of the platform itself but not to the code of software. But then, they should make the distinction between proprietary/communitary and open source/proprietary code. Even between free/paid services. So, IMO that list from alternativeto is confusing.

@instander @squid @privacy is #instander really reliable? So far i can see, it is not open source, so I have doubts about data privacy and presence of trackers.

thanks for your comments. I’ve already decided to install #LinuxMint. Actually I’ve been using it for around a month and I’m very satisfied. Currently I almost don’t use windows.

@Encryption @privacy I’ve discarded Ubuntu due to snapd. Does Linux mint also use snapd? 🤔

According to most of the responses so far, Eeementary is not the best choice. So I think I will try #LinuxMint as the first option.
