Shifty Eyes

Why do you make baseless claims like that? They refunded everyone when they didn’t meet their funding goals, and also committed to creating a special edition phone in the next campaign for everyone who supported. You can see the campaign here on indiegogo

Edit: Librem and Purism the controversial ones, not Liberux

This linux phone by Liberux seems like the most promising option in the near future. The crowdfunding campaign failed this summer but the project is still moving forward, just waiting to hear more from them @Liberux

Also GrapheneOS but not sure how far along any of this is: “We plan to partner with OEMs to have devices produced meeting all our requirements, providing additional privacy/security features beyond them and ideally shipping with GrapheneOS rather than massively lowering our standards.”

Edit: here’s a recent post from GrapheneOS from August 2025:

We’re working on GrapheneOS support for future generations of a subset of the device models provided by a major Android OEM. Their current devices don’t provide the updates and security features we need, but they’re capable of doing it. We’re working with them towards providing this so we can support their devices. They may end up officially selling devices with GrapheneOS as an option but that’s not the bare minimum and it can be successful even without initially having that.

After living in D for half my life, the lack of decent Mexican food makes me a G person too.

I’ll argue that C has a pretty solid showing. Southern Italy, Greece, Croatia, Serbia, the rest of the Balkans, Turkey, Ukraine, Russia, Northern China, Central Asia, Mongolia, Northern Japan. There’s a lot going on there.

Ugh. My Obi-wan moment or something. ‘You were the Chosen One Proton!’

Agreed on the stupidity. He should have had PR running his accounts or at least approving his posts. But now that the cat is out of the bag I’m really conflicted about being a Proton Visionary subscriber, and try to use other services like Filen, Cryptpad, Bitwarden, Aegis, etc, so I’m not all concentrated on Proton like I was on Google Suite.

I just made a Tuta mail account for if I do decide to move away from Proton.

I have similar conflicted feelings after being a long time Visionary Subscriber.

There’s a lot more nuance to it than just ‘Proton CEO supports Trump (and therefore all of Trump’s policies)’

From the comments: “Andy’s statement was to recognise the choice of the Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust division at DOJ. This is someone who has history of going after tech monopolies and allowing room for the little guys (startups) to have a fair chance to grow and innovate. This was not a political endorsement.”

And at the very least the CEO controversy reveals all the issues with America’s two party Sith or Jedi system, there’s no room for nuance or discussion, just rage. Look at all the other top comments here.

Their recruitment practices are also profit-seeking. Job applications require your salary expectations and they don’t post their salary range.

Start with

• Linux Mint Cinnamon

OR

• PopOS

For all your gaming needs, there’s a Steam app you can download from whatever app store or flathub, or download/install directly.

• Heroic Games Launcher

• Lutris

• Piper for changing gaming mouse settings

I went from Windows to Mint Cinnamon, to PopOS, to PopOS Cosmic Alpha for the last year on both my laptop and desktop. PopOS and PopOS Cosmic Alpha have been great, minimal issues for me on Cosmic with gaming but there were a few hiccups or delays with newly launched games, more so an issue with Nvidia drivers than the OS. For example I had to wait a month or two after Starfield launched because there were bugs with the Nvidia drivers.

Protondb is a great resource both for checking if a game runs well on Linux, and also checking troubleshooting steps if you do run into an issue, there might be some advice on what worked for other people to get a specific game running.

Also avoid Razer or Corsair gaming mice or do your research on the specific model before buying unless you want headaches with not being able to edit the RGB settings. Best if you still have access to a windows machine if you want to own anything Corsair (or are fine with not being able to edit RGB settings). I have a Logitech G502X without RGB because of all the headaches I was having with my last few Razer and Corsair mice.

Edit: OpenRGB is another resource if you have an RGB device and need to change some settings, there’s a list of supported devices on the website.

Some alternative for you for the keyboard:

Just put a car battery in the wagon, all set.

My ex kept her’s in an unprotected excel file. I never peeked, I was just surprised when I saw her accessing it on her laptop.

If they’re wearing headphones outdoors/in public instead of earbuds or noise isolating in-ear monitors, they deserve all the sweat lol.

Otherwise for those of you at home:

No more sweaty ears once I switched from noise-cancelling Sony and Bose bluetooth headphones, to a cheap bluetooth neckband type earphones. I swapped out the earbuds for some silicon noise-isolating ones that fit snugly in the ear canal.

Got a fancy open-backed headphone for gaming/music on the PC.
