im using a nextcloud host called murena. you could probably use an equally good one or self host, but i found the free next cloud host sign up tool too buggy to use.

main draw of next cloud for me is you can use features like third party clients and calendar sharing without having to manually prepare for account downgrade if you want a lower tier, and in fact the only difference between tiers is storage

note that im not clear how good their encryption is, it seems not to be fully end to end encrypted

girl, I'm not a lawyer, i don't know the intricacies of IP vs patent law and whether you can patent a character model/design.

telegram isn't e2e encrypted by default?! that seems like the major concern here.

i double checked the ui and i had to create a new secret chat to see any indicator of encryption presence or absence

with the issues you've had i think it's perfectly understandable, but I'll agree with other commenters that arch is not a good choice for a first distro. i recommend trying dual booting windows and a more "beginner " distro like Linux mint or pop_os

for your laptop i recommend looking up compatibility with your model first and be prepared to go back. some hardware may not be supported.

nvidia might have some trouble on Wayland for a while but i haven't had much day-to-day issues on x11 except with the various sync technologies being difficult to get working as expected.

Steam is works well for most games but note that for games with multiplayer, anti-cheat oftens only allow Windows

from the post, they say they aren't locking you in because you can export

im curious what version of kde plasma you're on, i thought they were still working on it and plasma 6 just released. My computer with the hdr monitor is still on plasma 5.

edit: should've looked it up first of course. looks like support is expiremental on Wayland plasma 6. I'll see what happens when kubuntu catches up.
