Looks like you're just missing Linux to compete the list. It's not for everyone yet, though.
Thank you for the suggestion.
I'm planning on buying an AMD GPU later this year and then, I'm planning on installing Linux on my Desktop since Windows 10 will not be supported.
Since you're already good with these, might as well go witb Mull instead of Firefox on android. Also VPN and private DNS could be interesting next steps.
Thanks for the advice.
Already bought a VPN subscription with PIA and also setup a private DNS with cloud-flare on my android smartphone and tablet. Will look into the PC settings later.
I LL take a look into Mullvad later as well since I saw it's a fork of Firefox which makes it a very interesting prospect.
Nice! Good luck on your journey. My next step is setting up Nextcloud...
NextCloud and BitWarden. But that's a project for later down the road. Local and Foss all the way
Don't forget to check your Amazon Alexa privacy settings to disable personalized ads, and for using your Alexa data for ads. Likewise, you can have it to where while Amazon keeps a log of what is said, it won't save voice recordings.
That won't be necessary, because I completely uninstalled it and it's not connected to the network anymore
