From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I quite like Proton mail it's secure and the interface is pretty damn good
I use them too, they have some good stuff, but are pretty behind in usability.
I just wish they did usability a bit better, it can't be so hard. There is probably more that I didn't think of right now. Don't get me wrong, they have big potential.
Yeah I feel the trade off is worth it plus the lack of third party app access weirdly just improves my trust in their security.
I see what you mean, but it still sucks.
Sucks for you don't mean sucks for everyone.
I mean, having more options would be good for everyone, no?
Maybe, however sometimes a strict set of rules is required to enforce a pleasant experience
