Even if this doesn't protect me against Valve itself, this will be very useful. Thank you!

• I actually never heard of Lutris before, could you please provide me some links, etc. so I can get into it?

• I don't really know what you mean by "other means", let's say Hogwarts Legacy for example. How could I acquire it otherwise, besides buying it for a console?

• Alright.

It simple depends on your needs.

I personally use Signal, I donated to Signal, and even if it's not perfect, I think it's a great project.

I also have SimpleX installed for "anonymous" conversations with strangers.

And that's it.

I think what you really need is threat modeling. It seems like you're currently trying to protect yourself against anything and everything. That's not necessarily wrong, but it stresses you out and overwhelms you. And it's ultimately not really beneficial either. I suggest reading the guide from PrivacyGuides.org and other resources. Ente and Proton also recently wrote a blog post about it.

Same. Everything depends on your needs, believes and preferences. Even in terms of privacy and security, there is not on solution for everyone.

Even if Firefox fanboys and Brave lovers and these few Pale moon users.. try to tell xou otherwise.

My advice to you is to do research on your own and find smth which fits best for u and ur threat model.

Upstream7564 , 1 month ago to Privacy in Best browser tweaks for privacy?

TL;DR: There is nothing like that. Anyone claiming something else is basically lying to u.

Especially when it comes to privacy and security.

You can't compare Lavabit to Proton.

And you can't compare urself to Edward Snowden.

I think it's not the services fault that people aren't aware of the limits of encrypted services. They are not going to shut everythin' down just for a few people, if you need smth anonymous Proton is not for you.

Also, it's your task to have good opsec. If you give your iCloud email to Proton which has personal information sticked to it, your fault.
