In the EU this kind of automatic opting-in to marketing/data sharing is against the GDPR as it requires explicit consent from user/customer. I'm in the EU and have those settings but they were both toggled off, as expected.

I stand corrected. I use Tumbleweed so have not kept up to date on that front.

OpenSuse is already by itself a well rounded distro. It supports multiple desktops out-of-the-box, is highly customizable so it doesn't really need forks.

SUSE Linux Enterprise isn't really a fork. OpenSuse Leap is to SLE a bit like Fedora is to Red Hat i.e. the community version which is then frozen at some point to build SLE.

It is. It's a rolling release so it has the latest packages. It's not bleeding edge like arch. All software goes thru an automatic testing in OpenQA before they are allowed in the repo so there's some quality control. It's also very stable.

I'm on the Other category, both for home and work. I use Tumbleweed in both.

I'm in the EU and that section in the settings isn't even there. I guess they aren't doing it here, for now at least. Probably due to GDPR.

Have you tried Okular?

Valve releasing Proton.

Under GDPR this kind of data collection and sharing HAS to be opt-in i.e. with an informed consent. You can't just bury it in your TOS and/or privacy policy. The user has to be explicitly shown what they are collection, on what basis they are doing it and how they are using it, then give the user the choice to accept or decline that, and they have to respect that decision.

Best Fallout game ever.

Here's what I got when I upgraded: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Kn3hsL. In addition I have two sata ssds (1 TB & 2 TB) for data storage. It's similar to yours. For me performance was the priority. Doing most of my gaming on Linux.

Edit: As the ram in my build are expo models they run at 6000 MHz. No instabilities.

I'd say wait a few days to see if glibc-eac-bin gets updated. Could the name refer to easy anti cheat perhaps? The glibc is the official library that comes with Linux distros.

Whatsapp uses the same protocol as signal so MITM is unlikely however there's no way to know what happens before or after the messages are encrypted/decrypted and sent. They can do that scanning at that stage.

That is different than Signal which (unless they changed something with the profiles thing) was always P2P E2EE. You’re sending encrypted messages directly to the other persons phone, not to a server.

Sender cannot know where the recipient is and using P2P would be resource consuming on all client devices (i.e. everyone who uses Signal) so I guess the messages are routed thru Signal's servers though messages are encrypted on device with keys that only the messaging parties know (couldn't find an official diagram for this to confirm).

In a country with good consumer rights, this would be a valid reason to return it and get a replacement or refund: It’s no longer offering functionality that was advertised and that you paid for as part of the purchase price.

In the EU this would probably be a no-brainer.

Wonder how they'd manage that as they both are E2EE.

You won’t get rid of google tracking you on Youtube or Gmail,

For gmail that's true (one should use something else anyhow). For youtube you can use an alternative frontend like NewPipe to avoid tracking.

If you care about privacy you should use a trustworthy paid email. They even aren't that expensive. You can get them as low as 1 € / month.

You can basically disable most Google tracking though a good DNS that blocks that traffic.

So only most but not all. Therefore it's not private if there's any tracking. Thus a de-googled version is the only option.

Have you checked the source code that they actually respect private dns setting for their tracking? Or otherwise verified that no traffic goes to google tracking servers?
