There might be some changes that could improve it further:
- Remove Brave
- Maybe add Signal; It's easier than Element, but it's also centralized
- Stop suggesting Linux Mint specifically
- Recommend Hosted Nextcloud
- Add GrapheneOS
- Maybe add Delta chat
- Maybe remove Bluesky
- Remove Stremio and add Jellfyin (even though it's selfhosted and not a direct equivalent)
- Add ente because Immich is selfhosted
- Add aurora
Any other suggestions?
I think the biggest are the Proton and Infomaniak kSuite ecosystems. Both have free tiers afaik.
Yep, just switched to Proton (Swiss). Tutanota (German) is the other serious option for end-to-end encrypted, managed mail and calendar.
The main difference is that Proton offers a full "eco-system" to better compete with Google: besides Mail and Calendar, they offer an integrated Drive with automated photos backup on mobile, VPN, and private mail alias service (SimpleLogin) on their subscription.
I like it, but others prefer to spread their services among different. The price for the full package is similar to the price of Mail + VPN so you don't lose anything if you choose to use a NextCloud instead of their Drive, to better integrate with other open source apps for notes and photos.
