I had my biases, due to the large number of tech support scammers from India... Until my mother got scammed by chiropractors, and my whole family (including me) got their teeth mutilated by a malpracticing dentist in the US trying to profit off unnecessary dental proceedures. Scammers are everywhere there's corruption; they just take different forms.

Is this that "Ohio Skibidi Rizz" the kids are talking about?
systemd is good software and people should find proper reasons for disliking it for once instead of just following the hate train.
Are "breaking portability with non-linux unix systems (and even linux systems that don't use systemd)" and "overly complex codebases inherently being more bug-prone and systemd having a poor security track record" good enough reasons for you?
PostmarketOS, pinephone, using phosh (sxmo is good too, but no support for dvorak keyboard :( :( :( ). Very jank, but I would never go back to Google/Android (or derivatives) after tasting what could be. Might try to switch to Void Linux or base Alpine since PostmarketOS is shipping systemd by default next release ("optionally, with openrc still being supported", but we all know openrc is being pushed to the side, especially since it needs recompilation to switch back). Hope to boot OpenBSD on it some day.
You're saying this like Micro$hit isn't just going to revert back to recall being opt-out (or non-removable) in a few weeks after the outrage dies down
Microsoft is evil, but are they more or less evil than Google?
In order of personal preference:
scp (sftp)
rsync/openrsync
nfs
host files on an ftp server with ftpd
hosting files on an http server with httpd
Definitely not
If I actually care about the game, I submit a ticket, asking for portability. This isn't really a thing anymore though, as usually the games that are incompatible with wine are games I don't want to play anyways (anticheat, cancerous drm). As for installing Windows, there is no game, and will be no game that is important enough to me to make me install corporate malware to play it, even in a VM, purely out of spite.
corporate linux apologists promoting proprietary ecosystems are still corporate apologists promoting proprietary ecosystems

Did you go to any of my links about Linux hardening? Do you implement any hardening yourself? Do you harden kernel flags or replace malloc with hardenned_malloc?
No. Why would I need to do this compared to a standard Linux desktop PC? Does having a WWAN radio somehow open me up to some massive amount of exploits compared to another mobile device, say a linux laptop?
Linux kernel also has proprietary blobs for firmware and device support. That is the difference between Linux normal or libre kernels.
I don't think my hardware (pinephone) needs any blobs (If any, the GPU? Panfrost exists so probably not). It may need proprietary firmware, but firmware doesn't touch the kernel and is loaded onto the auxilliary device's CPU, so it's not as big of a security compromise (excluding CPU firmware). I already replaced the modem firmware with an open source version, so I think I'm fine there.
Protonmail sucks because you can't use it with 3rd party mail clients like claws-mail or mutt without handing over $$$ (even gmail lets you do this for free, I believe). The plaintext mode in Protonmail appears not to be actually be plain text because I've had trouble submitting plaintext patches to the OpenBSD lists several times with it.
Have no experience with Tuta.
