I did this myself in 2023, coming from google. And have now dropped their Eco system for all disconnected privacy friendly options like mailbox.org and bitwarden for example.

But I also use my own domain and a ton of alias email addresses so wasn't locked to my proton email address in any meaningful way

Thats a pretty substantial claim. Outlawed where?

So is MX Linux. I promise you that metric is useless since literally nobody ever talks about MX Linux except for its standing on distro watch

You're probably the first person ever to daily drive MX Linux, the most popular distro according to distrowatch

Did I explicitly state that I was aware of how this worked in my original comment? I did? Oh good.

I don't care if Firefox isn't updated until I restart it. I just don't want that terrible workflow:

Click update all. Firefox is open, therefore won't update until you close it and click update again.

Every other package manager: Click update. All apps update. When I am ready to close Firefox it'll be updated next time I use it.

Not really though? Or rather - then answer the other half. Why are flatpaks, deb, rpm, arch, etc. ALL able to update in place? But with snaps we need that sucker closed? It sucks to use like that.

Its also for my experience the worst way to use apps.

The fact that I can't "update" my software without closing it first.

Why can I do that with all other package formats? I get it won't be the new version until I reopen the app but still. Its unnecessary friction.

Also with the prompting last I used it Firefox couldn't download anything with it enabled.

Like you ship Ubuntu with like 4 major snaps including the security center and it hasn't or hadn't worked with your shipped snaps for at least a year?

Switched to using Linux like 6 years ago. Wouldn't know how bad Windows 11 is but I can only imagine.

Thanks, I might give them a serious try. For the price I can't find anything cheaper than $5 for 3T a month.

Do you use any encryption?

Did the same thing. Degoogled to Proton, felt like they don't put effort into their Linux versions. No drive still. And started giving me bad vibes over the past few years.

Moved to mailbox.org, back to bitwarden etc.

The cloud storage has been my biggest hurdle. Filen seems decent.

Cryptomator + KDrive has been on my mind due to such a low price and it has WebDAV allegedly
