HelloRoot

We’re not.

Huh? You linked me an article where server cost is the lions share of signal operation.

Most users doesn’t even donate 1€ when using free messengers.

How does signal operate then.

They don’t offer ANY “nice-to-have” features

If they don’t have high server costs, unlike the example from the article you brought up, they should hire cheaper software engineers from a different country or scale down development and have a longer runway.

Like I said - them having this problem is probably due to poor planing.

Well, when talking about server costs, Threema somehow has been running on a 5€ lifetime license and business customer subscribtions for over a decade. While briar and simplex are peer to peer and have nearly no ops costs. Sure, it can be made to be very expensive, but I'm arguing that doing so is a business/design decision. Servers can help improve the UX, but are expensive. Threema for example, only stores media on their servers temporarely, so they have way lower storage cost with a small tradeoff in userfriendlyness (of having to migratethe old media files you want to keep when you get a new phone). And so on. If your nonprofit only has 65k, don't hire multiple devs and provide nice-to-have features that lead to high ops expenses in servers and storage. It's called minimal viable prpduct for a reason.

Sounds like bad planning. There are like 3 other e2ee messengers that are open source and have enough funding to operate for years without doing appeal-to-emotion dona-... extortion campaigns

Which is kind of the point of the video. They explicitly said: they could get expert opinion and support. But when you use a search engine as an everage joe to find what distro to install, popOS comes up a lot on those shitlicles sites.

manjaro is no good. It breaks all the time and then you still need the whole arch knowledge to fix it. EndevourOS or CachyOS are somewhat better options.

Any linux distro is significantly more lightweight than windows. But arch is difficult for a beginner. If you have time, interest and discipline to read the documentation and learn a lot, then arch is great. If you just want to use a Linux OS, install Mint and just use it, like you use windows, but without bloat.

here is an interesting read: www.sciencedirect.com/…/S0003687016302459

There is also nanoKVM which is open source and quite a bit cheaper.

There is also nanoKVM which is open source and quite a bit cheaper. Should do the job just as well.

it’s probably a file on the disk somewhere so try using the find command on / and filter name by *.icc extension. You should spot it from there.
