    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.
