I think Tor Project is implementing a better version of Linux package. The current Flatpak one is more of a Python wrapper to download the browser rather than an actual browser. It was developed by an independent open source developer later took over by Tor Project since it was very popular. Hopefully it will be fixed in future.

Is no one aware of Fedora Media Writer? It's FOSS and the most trustworthy ISO burning software in existence. It's only issue is that its named as if it is written only for producing Fedora bootable media. It works for everything.

GrapheneOS is both secure and private. It also supports hardware based attestation (No need for SafetyNet). It's just that mediocre people who develop these apps do not wish to support freedom respecting platforms.

I agree SimpleX is superior protocol. I use it to share text between my devices. But I'm little bit hesitant to recommend it to friends and family because it is VC funded. Until SimpleX becomes non-profit or alternative implementation of SimpleX protocol starts showing up, I won't use it as my main IM.

This is why I like GrapheneOS on phone. It is hardened and secure, but never gets in the way of your work. Everything works as it should. Kicksecure is the closest on the desktop space, though Fedora is also reasonably secure.

Signal. Though SimpleX is growing as a superior private messenger.

I think, OP is pointing to the fact that ECH makes it harder to block connections to mothership from proprietary apps, TVs etc. These apps could now use ECH, DoH to hide it's traffic from being observed.

But OP could always buy a better router that can proxy layer 7 traffic and block the traffic if desired.

This is incorrect. It strengthens both privacy and security in a lot of ways for an average user.

Your English is perfect. There is no indication of low intelligence from the way you described your issues. B and C grade are pretty average and indicates you can learn with hard work. I think what you might be experiencing is anxiety and that is causing you to think you don't have skills or intelligence. I am not from US so I don't know what kind of help might be available for you there, but I would suggest you to look for a job with something you like to do even though the pay might not be great and then eventually your interest will take you further in your career.

GrapheneOS is the easy to install OS among any mobile platform. Everything is through a web UI, so you are very unlikely to brick your phone. You don't need to type a single command. Also even if you brick a Pixel phone, it's very easy to install stock Android build through Google with a similar installation process.

After using LineageOS for long time, I have finally moved to GrapheneOS. I use a lot of banking and financial apps which I never felt comfortable using on LineageOS due to lack of proper sandboxing, unlocked bootloader etc.

GrapheneOS works flawlessly just like Android. You don't even notice there's hardening underneath. Also it protects from Google's evil location tracking using WiFi/Bluetooth or even when the Location is turned off. I don't understand how people in general are comfortable with Google tracking all the time. You can use Google Play and Play Services in a sandbox that works just like regular installation, but without deep tracking.

If you haven't tried GrapheneOS, try it. You won't go back to regular Android.

Yep. It was developed to improve parallelization and security of Firefox. Many core parts of Firefox have been replaced with Rust implementations.

I do the same as well. Shelter is an amazing project.
