Thanks for explanation. I use temp-mail and annonaddy, also VPN. But I was curious how they are different. Just trying to improve privacy as much as possible.

Makes sense. The operating system you use is important also. From what I’ve seen Windows and Android are the worst for privacy. Things can be done to both operating systems to improve privacy, but these days both have user data collection built in.

Mac and iPhone are better, with Apple putting their money where their mouth is by disabling tracking abilities within the OS.

Arguably Linux is the best for privacy, however you have to trust that any number of random developers are committed to your privacy. All it takes is one bad actor to modify one piece of open source code in a way that’s not noticeable, and your privacy is compromised.

These are all generalities, and there are exceptions to each. The most private system is one that is never on any network, which in today’s world is difficult to achieve

I use iOS and Linux, sporadically windows for gaming.

Same here, although I got a Steam Deck last year and haven’t needed Windows yet. Admittedly, some games require a bit of a figure-out to get them to run.

Probably someone with a lot of Linux and Wine experience could do more with a desktop, but I’ve never been more satisfied with anything I’ve ever purchased for gaming.

We’ll see if that continues to hold true when Starfield releases…
