The only downside of switching is systemd is a mess, and getting kinda creepy with captain TechBro running things, think I’ll be headed to a ditro hop for OpenRC or an older init based setup.

Maybe get some Decks back in, first…

Tuta is much better than proton, but I’m finding Germany to be more than a bit sus lately, too.
