Signal or XMPP are good option

XMPP may be a bit overwhelming as you need to select a provider and a client. Doesn't require phone number.

Signal is private and easy to use like whatsapp. Needs phone number to use.

Telegram is cool but encryption isnt enabled by default, would like to avoid it for this. Cool for public groups.

Edit: Teleram isnt good at all, dont use it. Look reason in the replies

Well its just natural for coubtries to do this at this point when they dont like each other

In an off topic, I often prefer a open hardware router like raspberry pi router as it gives me control! For me it's safer to use as documentation is open like pfsense and openwrt.

Bruh, I am pretty sure when I commented the question, this information wasn't there.

Is there a way to see previous edits of a comment in fediverse?

Edit: Nvm I didnt read properly

What about app data? If I only want to backup my app data for all flatpak application but not the application itself, where can I find the directory?

I dont know much about writing stories/poetry, but for publicity in fediverse (I assume you meant in fediverse too) here would be my response:

Lemmy is good but the main part of fediverse is the mastodon clients (twitter equivalent). Most of the users use a mastodon instance.

So posting to mastodon and lemmy seems like a good option. Although mastodon will limit post text length. Better to repost or boost it from lemmy to mastodon.

Really cool bro. Always loved GUI for command line utils!

[–] LifeLemons@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago

Correct! I use it whenever I am forced to install some apps. I always loved the android architechture

Openness of linux would be lost

Although device drivers are proprietary, linux does its best to limit such proprietry stuff. But in case of android, Google pretty much has a monopoly because a standard build of android isnt enough for use.

I hate that the spirit of openness is shot on the foot just because of the need of commercialization. I would prefer linux than android.

When I started linux, I heard creating seperate user accounts for specific uses only is a good step to security in linux. I haven't tried it but after seeing concerns regarding some game launchers snooping around the os, I am trying to see how hard will it be to not let them. I only know the basics of user creation through GUI.

I wont be running games by the way, but I want to have this knowledge of user accounts in linux as a linux security enthusiast. I just want to create a user account where only apps or packages will run with no root access or access to outside its home folder. Even installing apps or packages should not require root to install and must be installed in that home folder and not /usr/bin or /lib. Should be like sandbox environment. I have complete control of permisions and processes of the app. Dont say about flatpak or virtual machines, not talking about that here, just plain old linux.

Note that I am not doing this out of paronoia but as a security enthusiast. I have heard about firejail, SE linux, and WhonixOS but just scratched the surface of it.

How should I do this? I need some sources to read all about linux user accounts.
