I found Tailscale/Headacale way more difficult to setup than Wireguard.

I tried 5 different credit cards to setup my account and none of them worked for the free tier. Contacted customer support, they simply said "well we can't do anything about it, it's clearly a problem in your end and not ours even though you tried 5 different credit cards to pay for the service".

My issues with Samsung nowadays is that they offer a very low TBW warranty compared to other brands like Kingston.

I wanted to buy a 1TB storage for my games and I couldn't decide between Samsung and Kingston. Samsung had a 600TBW warranty for the 1TB model, Kingston had 800. I ended up choosing the KC3000 from Kingston.

So... not using Signal because it's based off a conspiracy theory that it's secretly funded by CIA?

Well, let's stop using RSA and encryption because the most used secure crypto algorithms today were created by none other than the NSA!

EDIT: None of the alternatives provided are good alternatives for Signal. Matrix is an extremely complicated protocol that lacks some features compared to normal IM apps (I use Matrix and the experience is quite close to a standard messaging app). XMPP is dead and has a very niche userbase. The others are not suitable for being a daily messaging app.

Signal is a good alternative and while I do agree with some points, they are not bad enough to prevent you from using it (e.g. not having usernames).

The only thing I see they did wrong was to disclose the vulnerability before waiting for a comment from the software company.

I had a similar issue with my laptop, where Arch wouldn't be recognized as a bootable system on my NVMe drive unless I disabled RST with Optane on the BIOS, setting it to AHCI mode.

I do remember seeing a similar issue a while ago as well, but I don't remember if the user managed to fix it.

I could suggest removing the Windows drive, installing Arch and checking if everything works, then plugging the Windows drive back in. Windows loves to delete non-Windoes bootloaders from every drive it can.
