  • How to know if certain apps steal data?

    Jump

  • Exodus Privacy is a good starting point. They also have an app to check your installed apps with.One possible next step could be to install an Android firewall like Netguard or Rethink DNS + Firewall to block unwanted connections. Both don't require root and are well documented.

  • Does anyone know anything about e/os?

    Jump

  • The original overview dates back to 2023 but is updated, e.g. to mention EoL of DivestOS. Security updates are observed over a longer period of time. Its criticism is that though updates are provided monthly their release in comparision to the release of the patches is delayed by some days and sometimes incomplete. Can be compared here: https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/asb-overview and here: https://calyxos.org/news/ The original overview in German can be found here: https://www.kuketz-blog.de/android-grapheneos-calyxos-und-co-unter-der-lupe-custom-roms-teil1/

    Jump

  • I'd recommend iodéOS instead of /e/OS as the former is considered a bit more secure than the latter, see overview of Custom ROMs here (summarized from a well known German IT-Security Blog). You can also buy a FP5 with iodé preinstalled.

  • Does anyone here know about any FOSS office suite for android?

  • I have an Asus Eee PC from 2009 running Puppy Linux (as a secondary device).As already pointed out you will need a leightweight distro and desktop environment.

    https://distrochooser.de/ (available in English) can help you find the right distro, it takes into account the age of your device, your Linux knowledge, use case and a lot more.

  • What are the "app dock" apps on your phone? Are they FOSS?

    Jump

  • Edited. Thx for pointing out.

  • I thought this was an easy one, but turns out it is not.

    Jump

  • My story is quite similiar, though I was working in theoretical ecology. Turned out that I could handle the computers we were working with and their linux distros better than anything else. I went on for another 2.5 years and then quit. I aquired he LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 certificates from the Linux Professional Institute, worked as a pure Linux sysadmin for half a year and am now working as a sysadmin for Windows in Linux in my 5.th year.Where I live you need at least some kind of certificate (or some on the job experience) and the will and ability to learn. In my experience most companies that are working with Windows will be quite happy to hire someone who doesn't shy away from the terminal and/or cmd.

  • DEGOOGLE MEGATHREAD

    Jump

  • That's weird. At least for Linux and Android it was free, last time I checked.

  • It is free and open source. https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online

    Download via F-Droid needs additional repository: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/downloads/fdroid/repo/?fingerprint=573258C84E149B5F4D9299E7434B2B69A8410372921D4AE586BA91EC767892CC

  • Has anyone else questioned their choice of computers for running Linux?

    Jump

  • Asus never disappointed me, I have Linux running on a 16 year old eeePC and on a 1 year old TUF gaming notebook.

    Two friends of mine have it running smoothly on ThinkPads.

    I would never buy HP again, to run Linux on it. It was and is such an effort to get and keep it running with HP being so restrictive regarding BIOS, drivers, and so on.

  • Colm Meaney wanted to play O'Brien as American. “Rick Berman sat me down and said, ‘The whole notion of this show is that it’s multiracial’… I reluctantly started to play him Irish"

  • "It’s so hard to get sh*t made unless it’s a f**king Marvel comic."And consequently equally hard to get anything else but a Marvel movie to watch. Art monetarized to this existent just isn't art anymore.Don't misunderstand me, I like some good entertainment now and then, but I prefer movies that make you think and can even change you for the better.

  • What’s Your Best Experience with Linux?

    Jump

  • It's my daily driver since University and I like Fedora best. What I really love about Linux, is that it empowers you to manage your PC (and even your phone) on your own and without BigTech. No Microsoft, no Apple, no Google ... that is invaluable!
