Like what? More information is good information.
I held back because the topic and alternatives were already discussed broadly. Even in the sticky getting started post.
I wouldn’t opt for Proton services. Currently I’m running on mailbox.org and jottacloud . If I have to use AI I would go with mistral, and for navigation my first try would be CoMaps (car) and OSMand (for hiking). But I must admit that I still need to evaluate CoMaps vs. here more extensively.
Password container is still strongbox, even though they were sold recently. They also integrate 2FA, so it substitutes authenticater Apps.
And for youtube I hope for peertube.
The linux distros are already discussed in the main post. This has a lot to do with personal taste. I’m used to debian based distros, still using Ubuntu on all my servers.
I appreciate you taking the time. Proton seems nice. But I worry about placing all my eggs in one entity.
I did that once with Google and that was a mistake.
OP (in the other community) supposed Proton. I didn’t 😀
Jottacloud is a great tip, thank you!
