It's a phishing campaign. Update signal and don't give strangers your details. Also the windows desktop app sucks. Due to windows being insecure.
Yep this is, at least so far, a “the bastards can’t crack in from the outside so they’re trying to get you to hand over your account.”
Mildly reassuring but clickbait titles gonna clickbait.
Linux isn’t terrible.
There’s hiccups though. Example. Partner recently redid his chrome book. Wiped it, added some bits, added a Linux setup specific to chromebook hardware.
Earbud pairing: inconsistent.
Little things like that which are normally automatic often require some troubleshooting with Linux. Also Linux: there’s always a patch or fix somewhere.
Mostly though, it’s pretty good. And your machines run better because all the home phone bloat and trash is removed.
For those who still need to run Windows, I recommend that you utilize the Windows 10 LTSC IoT iso (can be found online; make sure you verify it with a checksum from microsoft) as it will receive security updates until 2032. You can debloat the iso significantly using this guide, though be warned that it is very easy to break and you may need to re-modify and re-install it to fix any weird errors that you introduce. Mine works great, totally removed defender, all telemetry I could find, etc, but my BitLocker doesn't work lol.
If you need help give me a shout. I wont share an ISO because tbh you shouldn't trust a stranger for that, but if you have questions I've done this about 12 times for myself and others
Thanks for this, I'm gonna share this.
