      Reddit --> Lemmy

      Facebook --> fucking nothing lmao

      YouTube --> FreeTube + Invidious [1]

      Windows --> Debian [2] with KDE Plasma

      Word --> LyX

      Microsoft Office --> LibreOffice

      Built-in phone music player --> Odyssey [3]

      Firefox --> LibreWolf [4]

      Adobe Reader --> Okular + Librera on Android

      Default phone launcher --> KISS Launcher

      [1] I prefer FreeTube on computers where I have it installed, but one of my family’s jank 10-year-old work PCs can’t handle it, so I’ll typically watch videos in Invidious in LibreWolf on that computer.

      [2] I can’t recommend Debian for absolutely everyone since it prioritizes stability and predictability over new features and ease of use, but it’s great for most of my use cases. I typically recommend Linux Mint for complete beginners.

      [3] It handles extremely large music libraries (>100 GB of .mp3 files) without constantly taking forever to reload when I add a single new album.

      [4] Firefox is pretty good and FOSS, but LibreWolf comes with better defaults and I’m a lazy fucker.

      Google -> DuckDuckGo, sometimes fall back to Startpage if DDG has bad results

      Discord -> I use Discord, but incredibly rarely. Haven’t bothered finding an alternative

      Windows -> Linux, obviously

      Whats App -> Signal

      iCloud -> Selfhosted storage + Proton Drive

      I don’t want anything like TikTok, Instagram, or the rest of them, so I don’t use those or their alternatives.

      Edit: arrows

        Android is fine, just not the default versions. Using lineage or graphene os is barely a difference from stock os, but significantly more private.
