DrantaRAT this is not a basic functionality of a file manager and I believe very few file manager apps have it. You should look for a specialist app that has the set of features you need if it indeed exists. You may in fact use several apps to cover that desired functionality.
Don't compare with particular app on iOS, even Android. Some apps can do what others can't and vice versa. Find an app that best suits your expectations.
area51 That sounds completely paranoid and overkill to me.
BaronAfanas to you yes, to me no, there are no rules to how I use GrapheneOS
area51 That's right.
area51 using your phone as s phone, that is okay, it is designed for it. But entrusting your desktop with all your private information, is that wise? Do you also factory reset it after every update? By the way, you don't use Qubes, do you? No offence, just asking.
DeletedUser127 But entrusting your desktop with all your private information, is that wise?
Why not? I am genuinely interested in your view on this. I know what some people here say about potential attack surface with for example Linux etc. and that graphene may be in a better 'shape' to defend against various attacks, but do you really think a phone would be better than a desktop that would be tailored to ones needs?
DeletedUser127 ha ha ha, I am not about to bash you over the head with Qubes..
I used it, its a right pain in the ass for daily use, unless you are under the microscope of a 3 letter agency.
I presently use live user, Kicksecure on a USB stick or Tails, whichever USB stick comes out of the drawer first.. Several of my laptops don't have HDD installed!
I do have a laptop with Debian installed, but its the host for Whonix on a VM
Stuff I want to keep safe is on Encrypted USB sticks and External HDD's. I don't trust the internet at all, keeping it at a reasonable distance is what I do, you may say paranoid, I' d say careful...
0xsigsev Compared to a phone running GOS, I'd agree, I trust GOS more than other desktop OS.
But desktops vary wildly, if you want pure security, Windows or ChromeOS (note, pure security, not privacy), ChromeOS is the easiest for security, especially with APP, Windows can be configured to be just as hard to breach as ChromeOS, but it requires an enterprise license and systems admin knowledge.
For privacy, I'd trust something like Fedora, even Ubuntu, yes it sends telemetry, but its not as bad as the other big 2.
I try keep sensitive stuff to a GOS device if I can (banking being a prime example).
oci3o For privacy, I'd trust something like Fedora, even Ubuntu, yes it sends telemetry, but its not as bad as the other big 2.
And can be super-easily removed, by simply uninstalling the apps doing the telemetry. At least on Linux Mint, which is what I have tried. One need to replace Firefox though with something more privacy respecting, as one need a web browser obviously, and Firefox telemetry seemingly cannot be disabled fully.
