I know I'm late to the party, but ~~don't~~ do you think Aeon is ready to be a daily driver?

I currently run Debian stable, but I'm interested in Aeon as an alternative.

I've used OnlyOffice (FOSS, really modern) and Softmaker Office, which is a proprietary German alternative with native Linux support. It also has the best docx compatibility of the Microsoft alternatives.

Yeah, I was thinking about changing over, because while I like PopOS, it has some issues on my rig. It wasn't as troublesome as Fedora, but laggy animations, Pop Shop crashing, and its very outdated version of GNOME were starting to frustrate me.

I'm actually testing EndeavorOS in a live environment right now to get a feel for it! I've always been hesitant to try Arch in any form because my main Linux buddy warned me it was a quick way to ruin your system.

I use this PC a lot, so I have no problem updating it several times a week or more. So fingers crossed I don't screw it up lol.

I'm glad you like it, but I'm just going to point out that Yahoo, which the AOL privacy policy page refers to, has probably the single most invasive email policy of any major provider.

Yahoo analyzes and stores all communications content, including email content from incoming and outgoing mail. This allows us to deliver, personalize and develop relevant features, content, advertising and Services.

They allude to telemetry, and use additional tracking even when not signed in. I hate saying this, but even Google has a better privacy policy.

That's kind of the point for a lot of us who opt to pay for an email. When email is free, it's because your data is the product.

I do like Tutanota's approach to encryption, but communication outside of other Tutanota addresses is less secure than PGP. It's just a symmetric, password-based scheme.

Since you will probably deal with a lot of non-tuta email providers, it's a hard sell for me. In network, though, it's good.

Second issue I had with it was the email client. I like my third party client and it's built into my workflow. Tuta doesn't support third party clients because they consider the storage of emails on your local drive a security risk. (That's only true if your hard drive isn't encrypted, and setting up encryption isn't all that hard to do)

Yeah, his requirements for an email provider are well above what most people need.

Email is not a secure means of communication in most cases. If the recipient isn't encrypting, then your communications to them are vulnerable anyway. And in the vast majority of cases, they probably aren't.

Really, the best thing about getting a more privacy conscious provider is not giving all your data over to Google.
