One of the reasons why you want to keep a live-bootable operating system within one of your flashdrives or optical discs.
You probably need another device to securely boot up a live OS to recover your data. Don’t use Windows, because it might still be vulnerable to autoplay scripts when mounting your infected OS partition and I assume your infected OS is Windows, so the malwares are going to be compatible and unless you know what you’re doing, you probably don’t want to take that chance.
If in order to achieve security, users have to give up their privacy and freedom, I guess mobile operating systems are behind regular desktop or server oriented operating systems. I mean no matter how secure the operating system is, with bad opsec things can go wrong pretty quickly anyway.
Why not just use an F-Droid repo?
For some reason the session network (oxen network) now blocks my Hetzner VPS connection (I use for VPN). Have been a session user for around 2 years now and now I have to reconsider Signal.

Personally? Because telegram feels dodgier than WhatsApp. At least I can trust WhatsApp enough around security. If I really want to upgrade my privacy or freedom, I would have chosen either Matrix, Signal or Session.
Most people only relate Linux to Ubuntu, Linux init system to SysVInit or SystemD, Containerisation to Docker or Kubernetes, Linux desktop to Gnome.
In some cases, it may be due to official support being available but most of the time it’s just that people are being taught Ubuntu first as “THE Linux” and that’s what they use since then.
I don’t care much about what other people are comfortable in using, but please don’t expect tech support from me. Every time I have to use Windows I get frustrated at how it forcibly feeds me stuff I don’t want. Although I admit that sometimes I joke to people to switch to Linux when they get frustrated with Windows as well, but that’s about it.
And also, some popular memes about Linux are probably just that, memes. Don’t take it too seriously.
Unlike Vanced, they don’t redistribute installation files, but rather just the patcher that includes the configurable patches. Revanced users have to already have YouTube apk whether it is from the installed YouTube app or just saved apk so that they could build a patched youtube “revanced” apk with the patcher.
However, I don’t know if redistribution of a patching tool to an app that’s against modification of its binaries is legal.
I love games that are story driven. Although if it does not have adequate interactivity, like meaningful choices and actions, then I would rather have it as a movie.
