was checking my old favourite posts and found this.

“Has hundreds of private messaging applications that their friends won’t use” Stop, the wound is still fresh.
At some point I just need to jump off the ship and live full time Linux. I remember my Linux friend from high school telling me how cool gentoo was back in 2k3, and I got a disk and was like wtf… what do I do??? I need to try it again.
I’m a bit of 2,3 and 4.
This chart doesn’t represent me lol
Favorite OS: “everything sucks”
Favorite browser: “everything sucks”
Favorite Apps: mpv and rtorrent (I pirate a lot of media)I feel like I’m kinda somewhere in between tech conservative and paranoid. I am privacy conscious but I don’t engage in privacy related content too often. I use Arch, Manjaro, /e/OS on a fairphone with mostly foss apps and decline most cookies I can. I also like self hosted things just because the corporate SaaS stuff sucks over time with artificial restrictions and has no privacy
I live on the right side of the second box, between second and third. I venture into the fourth maybe once or twice a year. It is a good life.
gnu ring, thats a logo i didn’t see in a long time
what’s the one next to it?
Lmao nice
This. Is. Epic.
I’m less familiar with the icons starting at around section 4 onwards.
Could anyone share / link what some of them are?
tails gentoo tor irc chat with self hosting 4
Between IRC and the picture representing the idea of self-hosting, there’s the XMPP logo, which like IRC, is an instant messaging protocol (but with more features than IRC).
after that arch and its distros lastlsy temple os and holy c you can search about them
I see, thank you!
after that emacs and fsf things
The FSF-approved distributions that are shown are: Trisquel, Parabola and GNU Guix (this one is actually quite neat, it’s based on NixOS with its own ideas like the importance of being able to bootstrap an entire system from a minimal binary seed)
The browser with logo shown is GNU IceCat, with binary blobs removed and with some extra security and privacy features (among them an addon that prevents the browser from running proprietary javascript)
lynx is a simple TUI web browser and w3m also is a similar browser but running in GNU Emacs
The last three are all the GNU Emacs logo.

- Panel 5:
- OS: Trisquel, Parabola, Guix (all three approved by FSF as “actually free”)
- Browser: Icecat (gnu firefox fork), lynx, w3m (both terminal-based browsers), (missed opportunity to put emacs here as well =))
- Apps: Emacs, Emacs, Emacs (powerful os with built-in text editor)

I think that the arch-based distro is Xerolinux
Never heard about it, but seems like it is, indeed. Thank you.
Not sure where I fall into this chart =)
Favorite OS: OpenSuse Tumbleweed
Favorite browser: Librewolf
Favorite Apps: Vim/Neovim (not even close to anything else)- I’m not paranoid, though. (It’s not paranoia if everyone agrees with you, most people just don’t care)
- I love FOSS culture and hate corporations with passion.
- For messaging I use Discord and Telegram
- Use old netbook from 2007 and my desktop PC is around the same age.
- I do watch Luke Smith and “Richard Stallman was right”!
I would say somewhere between paranod newborness and tech conservatism 🤔
Not sure where I fall into this chart.
I can tell you. You’re in the shit distro+shit browser part of the chart. Terrible choices. Not like my distribution which is so good. With a very good browser.
No I haven’t read what your distro is. Nor your browser. Irrelevant.
My distro? You wouldn’t know it. Very niche. But very good. Maybe the same as yours, but not the shit one. The good one.
Am I a moron? Sure. A moron with a good distro. (It’s ubuntu+chrome, if you know it)
cool 👍
I’d say I’m tech conservative/cynic with a bit of normie - as I’ve long accepted that forgoing big tech completely means losing the ability to talk to most of my friends and relatives (because there’s zilch chance of me convincing them to move away)
- arch
- lineage os (rooted)
- librewolf
- fdroid, element
[Realisation]
… I would go full paranoid but Its over my skill level. Also I’m quite happy now that the transition to more private things process is mostly over.
did everything but not rooted phone i just debloated my phone currently i don’t use arch btw but it was great but skill issue kills me so i’m here with lmde
Why would you root Lineage OS? You are putting a hole in your security.
I also do that because it lets me
- limit charging with ACC
- use microG as network location provider (microg installer revived)
- fix SafetyNet
- YouTube ReVanced
- Make using other App stores easier (updating can happen automatically in more recent Android versions, but first installs still require confirmation outside the Play Store)
MicroG doesn’t require root
Also Charging control is now part of Android 15
Root can be a huge security risk. Be very careful and always stay updated with the latest security patches.
Yes, microG works without root, however to get it working as a network location provider you either need it installed as system app (for example LOS4microg) or patch android to allow non-system apps for providing network location.
There’s an official patch, also mentioned in the Install Guide and it’s basically the reason for microg_installer and its revived fork existing.
I could use LOS4microg, which does include the patch, but builds are run much less frequently (once a month instead of weekly) and I’d rather stick to original Lineage.
Thanks for pointing out charging control, I wasn’t aware of that new feature. One more reason to upgrade LOS my phone
Graphene os for security, lineage os is for debloated aosp experience, root is for things like wifite2 on smartphone, cheat engine like apps on smartphone, deep control of your smartphone and etc
e.g. for better charging control, to allow f-droid to update apps automatically
I did not give it much thought really, I just wanted my previously rooted phone with no google things. But mainly the SafetyNet thing.
If you are either A) bootloader unlocked or B) using a custom ROM via an exploit, your system is freely open to modification by a physical attacker, regardless.
Hey now, I’ve been paranoid for years. Don’t call me a newborn.
What’s the first browser under newborn paranoid?
Qute browser
Isn’t qute just a chromium wrapper?
