Resubmit because last one got [flagged] for an affiliate link. I removed the one affiliate link.
This is just a list of "daily drivers" I use on Linux to stay away from Google.
The list:
Search - DuckDuckGo - An anonymized “wrapper” for Bing.
Browser - Brave - Getting flack for this but I still like Chromium over FF.
Mail - Fastmail - Protonmail is great too but personally I like FM.
Cloud Drive - Mega.nz - Also good, Syncthing.net
Desktop OS - Kubuntu - The best OS, change my mind…
Mobile OS - Sailfish OS - I’m sorry to say I still use Android :(
Maps - OpenStreetMaps - I love being able to add my own data!
Phone - Grasshopper - A case where I’m still using Voice but trying to switch.
Docs - Bear Writer - I use LibreOffice offline but in a pinch Bear is great.
Spreadsheets - AirTable - LibreOffice is best unless you need to be online.
Photos - Flickr - An oldie but goodie, especially if you don’t mind paying.
Calendar - Calendar.com - It’s… fine, but Apple and Google are still better.
Passwords - LastPass - I was slow to adopt to a manager but now love it.
Videos - Vimeo - I want to be able to recommend Lbry.com but just can’t, yet.
Authentication - Authy - A rare case of having no complaints!
Blogging - Medium - I actually hate Medium, but its easy and popular.
Meetings - Zoom - Discord is better but grandmas (and bosses) love Zoom.
Ads - A-Ads.com - The payouts are low but I love the anonymity they offer.
Flights - SkyScanner - Always trying to get you to “upgrade” but still good.
Web Analytics - Matomo - But I’d love to set up Umami.is someday.
Payments - Venmo - Honestly they ALL suck, use Bitcoin instead!
Music - Pandora - I missed out on the switch to Spotify and its too late now.
App Store - F-Droid and Aurora Store - An OK alternate to the Play Store.
