    Interestingly this is my path to linux, and Ive seen it recommended elsewhere.

    Move all your services to the cloud, or foss software (as most is available on linux). Then get off windows.

    Libreoffice Inkscape / gimp Firefox/Chromium Thunderbird Obsidian (for notes) Bitwarden Signal Syncthing

    And most of these have phone apps too!








  • I get it, but fuck it’s beyond annoying sometimes. Its also impossible for homeless/at risk people who dont hold onto phone numbers or 2FA apps.

    With luck they can guess an email password or reset it. But when 2fa is tied to a mobile 3 numbers ago, or needs the exact same device. Its fucked

    Then you have to call the government (verbally Thanks for gov accounts) who are increasingly hard to get hold of coz its all a robot phone tree telling you to go online. Then when you so get someone you have to provide ID (thst they may or may not have a copy of) and start again.

    Every time. Its near impossible.
