In the last week:

I started using Syncthing. I was using cloud storage as a way of copying files from one device to another. Syncthing is so much better.

I signed up with Mullvad VPN yesterday.

Deleted my Surfshark account today which I signed up with over two years ago when I didn’t care about privacy.

Finally convinced my sister to start using Signal.

    Finally switched from from Windows to Linux (specifically EndeavourOS, an Arch-based distro with a GUI installer).

    I also bought a new phone, on which I intend to install GrapheneOS and distance myself from Google’s ecosystem.

    I signed up for Proton Mail.

    LibRedirect browser addon to switch to privacy-respecting frontends for popular websites.

      I just did too but I went with manjaro. After getting it all set up I’m thinking of jumping to endeavor but I’m not sure I want to go through the entire setup again.

        Manjaro will break on you a lot more often than EndeavorOS will because of their release schedule. Should be ok if you stay away from the AUR but that kinda defeats the biggest selling point of using an Arch-based distro in the first place. Manjaro is the one and only distro that I actively ward people away from.
