There might be some changes that could improve it further:

Remove Brave
Maybe add Signal; It's easier than Element, but it's also centralized
Stop suggesting Linux Mint specifically
Recommend Hosted Nextcloud
Add GrapheneOS
Maybe add Delta chat
Maybe remove Bluesky
Remove Stremio and add Jellfyin (even though it's selfhosted and not a direct equivalent)
Add ente because Immich is selfhosted
Add aurora

Any other suggestions?

I have not yet :) Currently using Fedora XFCE, my first distro (tried Mint as well but wasn't for me) as most others failed to install on my mac and Fedora workstation was too slow on the old thing.

XFCE is however really good for keyboard navigation, never have to touch my mouse. My biggest issue with GNOME coming from MacOS was that keyboard navigation in the GUI was very inconsistent. The part that I always liked with MacOS was overall design philosophy enforced everywhere. Still, for many Mac users GNOME is probably still preferable because it is so incredibly readable, just works and looks good.

I'll look into hyprland, thank you!
