This also leads to a point about privacy in general. Most people are constantly bombarded with depressing news articles that make the world look gloomer, or are endlessly scrolling through social media which prevents you from focusing on other things in your life, which is why you should care about privacy (well, if you care about those things).

If you encounter someone who doesn't care about privacy, please tell them about this.

There's a big advantage using Linux in that you'll get a huge dopamine detox because there are no advertisements and tracking on your computer.

There's always the browser, yes. But most distributions ship Mozilla Firefox which have some tracking protection at least.

There's just something oddly peaceful about your desktop just not changing... you're disconnected from the world, but you feel free. I don't feel like I'm at the mercy of anyone else.

@quinn I'll play devil's advocate and say there is definitely correlation (not causation), yes.

@eugenialoli I do hope what you're saying is true.

However, in my experience, most people don't check Windows news, and those who do probably don't care anyway. The users you see on the forums and videos are a small but vocal minority of people.

Perhaps I'm just pessimistic by nature. I don't know.

@eugenialoli A lot of people? I don't see anyone eager to switch anytime soon, so there's no need to worry.
@jgoerzen @mailbox_org I also went with Migadu. Just out of curiosity, what feature did you suggest?
@intelgraphy If you're trying to analyze malware, I suggest reading Practical Malware Analysis. It's (kind of?) old, but it teaches A LOT about static and dynamic analysis.
@[email protected] @thenewoil Yeah, I can imagine it can get pretty tedious having to maintain that many servers. I personally started using Migadu myself, the only downside is that the cheapest plan (Micro) may have a low outgoing email quota for some, which may be a dealbreaker. The rest of the plans are substantially more expensive, which doesn't really make it worth it to me if it applies to you, IMHO.
