  • Signal is still great for cross-platform rich messaging, sending photos and videos with good quality (unlike with SMS), as well as voice and video calls. It also has fantastic desktop apps, similar to how you can use iMessage on your Mac, but Signal works on Linux and Windows as well. And you don’t need to be a criminal to care about your privacy.












  • It’s pretty easy. You either get it from Cargo (the Rust package manager) or add a custom repo to apt.

    Cargo is the easier and safer option: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh && cargo install eza

    Custom apt repo:

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install -y gpg
    
    sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
    wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eza-community/eza/main/deb.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg
    echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg] http://deb.gierens.de stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gierens.list
    sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gierens.list
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install -y eza
    

    In my opinion though, you should also try lsd. It’s even better than eza. You can also get it from Cargo, just a simple cargo install lsd.
