A lot of people are moving away from Big Tech. Many more would like to do so, but they do not know that it is really easy to do so and that there are good options.

You do, given that you are here. Maybe time to help your friends?

Some good options, that I use myself :

OS : Linux.
Browser : Vivaldi.
Mail client : Vivaldi.
Calendar client : Vivaldi.
Mail Service : Proton, FastMail.
Social : Mastodon & Fediverse in general.
Office package : Libre Office.
Video conference : Whereby.

Feel free to suggest more options and share with your friends!

@jon is there a reason why you don't use vivaldi webmail for your mail service?

@jon I suggest OpenBSD instead of Linux. GNU and Linux *are*, broadly speaking, Big Tech, mainly being developed by a bunch of US techbro companies.
