I made the leap to Linux in 1995, back when it was a bit of a challenge to get things running. Nowadays there are plenty of user-friendly distributions, like Linux Mint, that novices should be able to install and use.
Great article. You should look at Start9 - they are trying to make it easy for people to be self-sovereign and have a home server rather than use cloud services. StartOS includes a packaged up Element service too.
yes i watched it - thanks for doing it - so helpful. im pushing you with all my network as i think youre on it! i am a retired nhs director - left in 2013 when i refused to comply…
so loved your delingpole interview.
huge huge thanks to you for your strength , your intellect, your determination and your humility.
- Messaging: Session app. Extremely good anonymous E2EE both mobile and desktop
- Phone: GrapheneOS. Grab a cheap old Pixel phone and install this OS. Very good control of more or less all data leakage. There's a French company sells something like this (I think IODE?), but this is very easy to install, and a free download

This reminds me of a bbc documentary from 6 years ago (Aug 2017) called:
The Disruptors / Secrets of Silicon Valley - presented by Jamie Bartlett
Here it is, 2 episodes:
