  • Yes, but you can also proof it, checking and even blocking the traffic in the OS, eg. with Portmaster. Not a big Problem. Different to MacOS, Windows permits to make it reasinable private in the settings, the only problem is that a lot of settings (in total over 200 setting points and registry entries) are indocumented and hidden. The OS as such is only another modified UNIX fork, the worse part are the apps. telemetries and services added by M$. The gutted, mencioned WindowsX, shows it, also mine DIY version of Windows11 24H2 which I use, with only <700 MB in RAM, after eliminating all this MS crap.


  • Yes, but currently Linux isn’t a valid option for a lot of users, because a lot of professional and corporation apps, apart of most games are Windows only. To rise Linux is needed to change this first. The only alternative for this issue is maybe using instead eg. WindowsX, something like an “de-microsofted” Windows. Linux is certainly the best alternative, but also has some drawbacks, like too much different distros not always compatible one with another, depending on the distro also often an deficient support and maintance, certain driver problems, among others. Not good if an still minority OS is above to diversified, which cause a lot of problems for the devs of software. To dethrone Windows as leader of the market does it still need a lot of work in many environments.







  • it means exactly this, the server hasn’t any knowledge about your uploaded files or encrytion key. It’s very save, but not really P2P, because of an server in the middle where the files are stored until download. Real P2P is eg, Croc, which transfer files direct from one PC to the other, without any server in the middle, you send an link which pointed direct to the files in your PC. The advantage is that you have anytime full control over the files and with this no limits on filesizes, but maybe a drawback is, that downloads are only possible, when your PC is online, on the other hand, this permits also to interrupt downloads, simply going offline, (it’s FOSS)
