I use tuta mail and tuta calendar for mail and calendar, Vivaldi as browser on laptop, and Firefox on android. Bitwarden as password manager and bitwarden auth as 2fa. Use obsidian for notes and appstore is aurora store and droidify, I use archlinux. And for “cloud” storage, actually a backup I use This USB drive not cloud Buf works for me. Still kinda dependent on proprietary messaging platforms, but I have 1 friend on signal. Also I am trying to replace YouTube with fmhy.net not exactly YouTube alternative, but has so many resources for free to study, educate myself, or just watch something out of amusement.
you can move to signal, but can you move your friends and family with you? like they’re going to listen
Just rip the bandaid off.
90% of people I speak to either already had or then installed Signal. It’s just another app to them and doesn’t require deleting WhatsApp to get.
If those in the know are unwilling to move off WhatsApp why would the ignorant ever do it?
I don’t know why anyone would ever subject themselves to the torture of using Vivaldi. It’s made by developers of Opera - the most bloated, spyware-infested web browser on the planet. Sure, it may be slightly better, but we’ll never know for sure, since it’s closed source. Honestly this might be a downgrade, even compared to Chrome. Anything else here would be an improvement.
Other than that, I’d replace Bitwarden with KeePassDX and Bitwarden Auth with Aegis. There’s no shortage of decent password managers and 2fa apps.
