Oh it's paid... I would rather install Linux, I don't pay even for Windows.
if you're changing all your passwords and switching to Linux anyway consider using a free software local password manager like KeepassXC, I use it along with syncthing and it's great
And you got what you paid for, no?
I believe there is a free version as well but don’t think just because you’re installing Linux that you’re somehow safer.
There was just a package that was essentially socially engineered into by a hacker, who then had full access to everyone’s shit.
All because a GitHub author was pressured into letting them contribute to code. Mac/Apple are no different and starting to be more and more vulnerable as the “security by obscurity” wears off.
Free tools are fine and well, but that stuff is done for free. Including maintainence and everything else. In times like these, ain’t nobody got time for that anymore. People need to make a living and you will see degradation in the products thusly
I didn't downvote you, but I think you're assuming waaaay too much about OP's life circumstances. For al we know, he's an Argentinian teenage girl with an allowance, or a Vietnamese retired fisherman with no life savings.
Could be. However, the point stands, you’re gonna get what you pay for in the end. Not trying to be a dick ofc, but that’s the reality.
There are some well performing options that are free, but they are limited, and not too common imo
If anyone does have some good options, feel free to share as I may be unaware of them and think learning about them would be neat
