I don't recommend Zulip as Discord alternative. It's interesting take on slack-ish type of messenger, but not really "polished" experience for now.

It will be done the same year when it's finally "year of linux"... Sad, but seems to be the case.

Ok, thank you and all the others for explanation.

What about DoH/DoT which comes enabled by default in some browsers I believe? This should "hide" your activity from isp/router as well, shouldn't it?

I'm not that informed on LOL, stopped playing it like decade ago, but isn't it what I just said? More push on monetization. Might be subtle, but still it's there.

Well, technically yes, but not under Tencent. These guys will squeeze Ubisofts balls even harder than shareholders do. All stuff that went under Tencent got worse or at least that's what I remember.

Well, it is impossible to install W11 Pro without MS account for normal person. Sure tech people can do it after couple seconds of web search, but your average PC user? Nope. No way.

Well, Ubi is piece of shit nowadays, so it wouldn't be such a loss in this regard. But hell, no more monopoly pls, tencent is huge enough already...

I highly doubt regular users will exchange Discord for Matrix. Don't get me wrong, Matrix is great and all, has some great features, but given its open decentralized way it is and probably always will be mostly for tech savvy people. Now given how half of the Discord (the part I know) is memes and gifs spam, it's not really easily reproducible with Matrix. At least last time I checked Element still didn't have gif picker...

I used to use syncthing few years back. I don't remember much about it and I can't even remember why I ditched it. It probably wasn't any disasterous situation - I'd remember that, but there still had to be reason I did it.

What I remember I specifically used one way sync of photos. I don't do picture editing at all and I tend to sort pictures on drive differently than one huge pile on phone, so this was what allowed me to do my shit easily.

Different people, different tastes.

Honestly I've never even heard of brand called Drobo.

Yeah, once you wrote this I saw a video where it's explained Asustor is basically "unlocked" just like regular PC, unlike Synology and Qnap who are hard-set on their offerings. This is quite a big plus IMO. Some people criticize Asustor that it relies on third party solutions like Virtualbox. Not really concern to me as I'd definitely not run a whole virtualized system. And for Docker it has Portainer if I looked right? Isn't this considered a go-to solution with self built systems running docker? How could this be bad?

Although I have to add that from what I saw both Syno and Qnap have their own systems more polished as a whole than ADM is.
