Pros: OS doesn’t spy on you, better privacy, freedom, the OS will not tell you what you have to do. Just do whatever you want to do, change whatever you want to change.
Cons: Maybe gaming support, this is what I see people complaining. I don’t game myself, so can’t say much here. After using Linux for 20+ years, I personally don’t have any cons. The OS works perfectly fine for both professional and personal life.
+1 for mailbox.org so far so good, managing own encryption key is a plus

I’ve been using Linux for more than 20+
First distro: Slackware, then Debian for many years, finally Fedora, since 2014, very happy user.
What I like in Fedora: the 6 months release provides bleeding edge experience without compromising stability.
Slackware, in the 90s, installed from floppy disks. I also used SuSE, Debian and now stick with Fedora.
Reddit sucks, it’s getting worse day after day. I’m still there, but moving to Lemmy.
Still using Firefox but looking to move to LibreWolf
If you have budget, Thinkpads can’t go wrong. You can also find refurbished.
Tuxedo and Framework are also excellent choices.
Thanks for sharing, this is indeed a great feature and makes GOS even stronger! Just enabled and love it!
For the home screen, I keep the regular PIN, so I have to type instead of using fingertips. But for apps that requires authentication (after you are already logged in), it’s really convenient use fingertips instead of the pin for convenience.
For native sync, the two good and reputable alternatives are Bitwarden and Proton Pass
Yes. If you don’t agree with the CEO, keep in mind that he is not the owner, they moved to a nonprofit structure. Proton’s CEO is not the first one saying stupid things, the same happened with Mozilla, Brave, and perhaps many other reputable groups.
Proton products are good, IMHO the layout is OK.
It’s good, but not the only one. If you don’t feel comfortable with Proton, go to Mailbox.org, Posteo, Tuta. They are smaller, with less products on their portfolio, but reputable and as good as Proton.
Fish is amazing, I’ve been using it for years in all of my computers and servers
I’ve been using Ecosia, it’s basically Google results, but with more privacy, and they invest the revenue in tree-planting projects.
I’m a happy IVPN user. Small team, privacy enthusiasts, transparent, great products. Just a heads up, some IVPN subscription tiers offer MailX (email aliases, like SimpleLogin), ModDNS (like Contro-D or NextDNS) and Portmaster (app firewall, and SPN network, inspired on TOR). It’s hard to compete!
