How do you know it's against TOS or EULA to use your own credentials on your own Mac to send messages with your own apple ID in a secure way.

I use tailscale and every restart I see that notification and open the app and flip the switch.

Much better than in iOS would almost always be down.

Also, probably not important, have you toggled "pause app activity if unused" off?

People here saying you can just download and run the .deb just like the .exe

Aren't you forgetting the "add +x permission" step?

Yes people would assume you have curl. Curl is often used to install programs. And curl is definitely one of the things that can do malicius things this way. So you are right to be hesitant to use commands that you don't understand. Most Linux users have forgotten how hard it is to learn the first stuff with no preaquired knowledge.

If you have googled "what is curl and how is it used" you may have found some relevant info.

I have given up on Linux because installing was hard in the past

There are some tools that make installing software easier. Like "appimage" files that are single files that (after you make executable) are completely self contained.

Flatpacks and snaps have an "store" like experience.

.deb files are also sometimes simple (also need to be made executable) (depends on the distro)

Unfortunately there is no .exe file experience.

Are you suggesting to a new user to build from source when he can't run a couple of commands?
