Note: This setup is both for my android and pc Edit: For those recommending paid services and selfhosting, I don't have the money nor resources for either. Also it seams some people are confusing my android setup with my PC setup so I'll write it down. Android: Brave(movies) + Ironfox, Search: Brave + DDG, VPN: Proton ( not always on), GPay = Cash, Auth= Aegis Auth, Pass: KeepassDX, PC: Firefox= Librewolf, VPN = No VPN (VERY slow internet), Search: Searxng + DDG, Pass: KeepassXC,
Since I recently setup a yunohost server, I use Nextcloud instead of google Drive pr Filen, Vaultwarden/Bitwarden for passwords, and searxng as a search engine; all self-hosted. My internet service provider makes self-hosting for emails complicated, if not impossible, so for that I currently use Disroot (which offers other services as well btw, like git and xmpp, good to check out).
For youtube, on my phone it's mostly through Newpipe, but I also use peertube for the content that exists there. Otherwise, I just access youtubw through the web... Which leads me to browsers. I avoid chromium-based ones, but I also disapprove of Firefox's turn towards AI, so I use waterfox on desktop and fennec on mobile.
As for Arch Linux... I was with you a few days ago, but I just switched to Artix. I'm not a huge fan of Systemd, and Dinit makes it boot a bit faster.
I saw that many people disliked systemd but why is that?
