Mobile operating systems like Android are way more sandboxed than traditional desktop OS. Even though the situation has improved on desktop, especially on macOS and some GNU/Linux distros, sandboxing is more of an iOS/Android thing.

On Windows, most people are admin users, which is a role with admin privileges. You’re not running these by default on macOS or GNU/Linux, and you’re not allowed to on your mobile. Both Android and iOS require an exploit to root/jailbreak to get admin privileges.

This doesn’t mean that macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS can’t get any malware. But by default, a phone OS gives apps very little permissions. Of course, apps can ask for them and trick the user into giving them. Some permissions give higher privileges, and you don’t want every app to have those.

So, no, what you want is education, not an app with privileges to verify everything is okay. I don’t say antivirus are useless, but you have to realize what it means to offer another app all these privileges. Fortunately, Hypatia has pretty basic permissions, but that means it also makes it less efficient than modern antivirus, as it works more basically.

Simply reboot your phone often and don’t install shady stuff. It won’t prevent the NSO Group from selling a spyware with 4 0-days exploits to a Nation State to spy on your device, but Hypatia won’t either.

Fairphone are big tho

GrapheneOS is superior in many regards. CalyxOS is a more de-googled experience than standard LineageOS which it is based on with optionnal microG for better compatibility. LineageOS still have many Google blobs in it’s code even though it’s cleaner than every Stock Android OS in regards to privacy and third-party bloat.

Never heard of Langis before :)

bruh

Thank you. And do you have any clue what happend on their side ?

What was the previously used decentralised storage solution used by your instance ?

Lucida is great especially from Qobuz !

It’s not that great privacy wise. Probably not as bad as YouTube but unfortunately it doesn’t seems to be their priority.

Bitrefill, CakePay and CoinsBee are plateform where you can sell crypto for gift cards and thus use them to pay online stuff in many places that don’t accept crypto. You can also use them physically if needed.

Another usecase for Bitcoin and Monero ! Pirate needs to be sovereign from state money !

This isn’t a FOSS apps list but a Free (as free beer) software list for Windows with a bunch of cool FOSS apps https://alternativeto.net/list/29653/my-windows-setup/

Damn, will try this one !

Thanks Steam ROM Manager looks nice

I will rather go with a second hand 2-3 years old premium laptop from a Linux manufacturer such as System76 or Tuxedo.

I think you confuse security and privacy. Samsung are pretty secure from what I saw. They are not private at all however. You can debloat it with adb and maybe tools such as Universal Android Debloater.

There is a couple of guide such as this one: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1402380-ultimate-samsung-oneui-debloat-privacy-customization-guide/

I wish I discovered that sooner thanks you. Except a few games they all have good artwork, etc…

I don’t have that comparison but here are some resources that critics FlatPak’s misleading security

You can download them from other sources ;)

FlatPak is not the as secure as everyone think it is.
