Software piracy is the very reason that Microsoft got all the market share and had the power to ruin it for Linux.

Either pay for the software, use free alternatives or write your own software.

That’s exactly what I said? A ROM with a backdoor is a malicious ROM.

I was being sarcastic. ;) The first letter in those word are barley visible.

AFAIK. The only security risk with this is that anyone with physical access to your phone could flash a malicious ROM on it.

This shouldn’t be an issue for most people. And I’m pretty sure that those who cares about this runs GrapheneOS anyway.

You’re forced to use a phone number and a phone from Google or Apple. Do I have to say more? This is not a claim. It’s a fact. Well. Unless something has changed?

That’s the downside (or upside, depending on how you look at things) of choosing a kitchen-sink distro. You get served everything and you don’t have to care or know about anything.

However. Since you seem to be more of a power-user than a casual user, perhaps you didn’t made the best choice for yourself. Perhaps building your own setup based on a bare-bones Fedora installation would have been a better fit for you? :)

It’s using your data locally on your machine. If you don’t trust one of the biggest open source projects in the community, perhaps computers is not your thing. :D

I’ve been using Mailbox.org, both private and for my business, for 5 years now. I have nothing bad to say about them or their service.

Well. I would like to see a referral program! They have a lot of paying customers because of me, but you don’t get anything in return.
