  • Pretty much every distro offers an easy way to install nvidia drivers.

    It’s the peripherals that really need drivers. I remember having to install digimend drivers for my friend’s graphics tablet for example. That said, it wasn’t supported well on Windows either and performed better on my Linux setup than on Windows once I did find out about the digimend drivers.

    Driver troubles for peripherals aren’t uncommon in Windows either. Don’t get me started on printers. Somehow, printers and scanners have always been plug and play for me on Linux, contrary to what I often hear.











  • SimpleLogin is integrated directly into Proton Pass and Proton Pass has the ability to save them as “Aliases”. So that’s been really neat. I’ve been finding myself using Proton Pass over Bitwarden lately due to how the Proton Pass app syncs the vault better on Android and how the Aliases feature works better with the in-page autofill that Proton Pass has.




  • Skiff or Protonmail.

    Skiff gives you 10 GBs of storage and also comes with a drive and a Notion-like Pages app. They even let you add custom domain for free. The only disadvantages are the non-native Android or iOS apps that just feel off and the limits on folders and filters.

    ProtonMail only gives 1GB of storage and stuff like custom domains, aliases, etc are all paid features. The Android app is decent but missing some basic features that you only notice when you actually use it (select and delete when searching for example). Definitely the most robust mail service there is though. With Proton Unlimited, you also get stuff like per-site aliases using SimpleLogin, Proton VPN, Proton Drive, Proton Calendar and Proton Pass. But if I’m being honest, only the Mail and VPN are truly complete products.
