In the past few months I have been getting increasingly annoyed at these two social media dominant companies, so much so that I switched over to Arch Linux and am going to buy a Fairphone with eOS, as well as switching to protonmail and such.
(1) As github is owned by microsoft, and I have been not liking the stuff that github has been doing, specifically the AI features, I want ask what alternatives there are to github and what the advantages are of those programs.
For example, I have heard of gitlab and gitea, but many video’s don’t help me understand quite the benefits as a casual git user. I simply just want a place to store source code for my projects, and most of my projects are done by me alone.
(2) What browsers are recommended, I have switched from chrome to brave, but I don’t like Leo AI, Brave Wallet, etc. (so far I only love it’s ad-blocking) (I have heard of others such as IceCat, Zen, LibreWolf, but don’t know the difference between them).
(3) As I’m trying to not use Microsoft applications, what office suite’s are there besids MS Teams? I know of LibreOffice and OpenOffice, but are there others, and how should I decide which is good?
