Not that much. Even for bug reporting, I don’t encounter much bugs when using OSS (KDE and Libre Office mostly) and I will not complain about it :)

Thank you for your response!

KDE and Libre Office are the two OSS I use the most and look like an easy starting point. I’ll look into it.

Thank you, I did not know about that. I’ll look into it. I see it’s on Accrescent

I have both enabled but still difficult to get a ping without a clear view to the sky. I will try network location though.

Thank you ! It’s way more clear now.

Hardened browsers prioritize security over privacy right ? Vanadium is that kind of browser ?

Welcome ! Quick tip: Google has a database of cell towers that helps getting a location quickly and helps starting the GPS connection even indoors.

You don’t have that on GOS. So when you use localization with organic maps, you’ll notice it struggle to find you. You have to have a clear view to the sky to get a ping and then you can use it inside your car for example.

I also use https://github.com/barbeau/gpstest to get the ping more quickly.

Thanks for all the answers! It helps a lot!

Obfuscating the data and sending random garbage. How do I do that ?

Tails is probably an overkill for my threat model.

What I want is pretty simple, be able to reboot any computer (ex: work computer) on my USB live system and be able to access my files, my emails… Instead of having to connect to my proton account without VPN on a normal browser on Microsoft.

So I guess I only need an encrypted live system with any distro. Tails seemed to be the solution because it only writes to ram and purge ram before shutting down. I don’t know if it’s a nice to have or a must.

When I switched to Graphene a month ago, I was expecting to make a lot of concession for privacy, security and to get rid of Google.

But honestly, it just works great and while it is meant to be used without google, WhatsApp and all those spywares.

You still have the ability to use them if needed but sandboxed and in a different profile. It makes it so that the switch is easier and not a all or nothing.

The only thing I struggled with was using something else than Google Maps and Obtainium at first.
