There might be some changes that could improve it further:
- ~~Remove Brave~~
- ~~Maybe add Signal; It's easier than Element, but it's also centralized~~
- Stop suggesting Linux Mint specifically
- Recommend Hosted Nextcloud
- ~~Add GrapheneOS~~
- Maybe add Delta chat
- ~~Maybe remove Bluesky~~
- ~~Remove Stremio and add Jellfyin (even though it's selfhosted and not a direct equivalent)~~
- ~~Add ente because Immich is selfhosted~~
- ~~Add aurora~~
- ~~Add SearxNG~~
- Add SimpleX
- Add lichess
- Add pCloud
Any other suggestions?

+1. Was really surprised to see ecosia (searx!?) and stremio as the only options of their categories; kinda sketchy...
Graphene should also for sure be included, even if it's Pixel only. I don't care that much about Bluesky as I've dealt first-hand with trying to get my gen-x mother on mastodon, and failing spectacularly. It's not better in the long run, but in the short term it's good to leave Twitter, simply to lose Elon some money. Either way, the list is kinda weird.
Edit: also, only mention droidify and not plain f-droid, obtainium, and Aurora? What?
