Translation: Because someone asked me how fast #GNU runs on a phone?

#Linux #gnuLinux

Security is important but should not be our sole focus. Freedom is actually more important. #GNULinux on mobile provides a reasonable level of security for most people with average threat models, and it is gradually improving even with a shoestring budget compared to Google's and Apple's.

Usability on phone screens is pretty good a lot of apps, and #phosh mobile settings can force apps to adapt to smaller screens. We can expect major improvements if people invest in alternatives instead of being being locked in to what Big Tech has to offer.

Interesting. #Chatmail (e.g. chatmail.au) relays also offer #FreeEmail with unlimited on-device storage and mandatory #e2ee. Cannot send or receive plaintext email. Can be used with #Thunderbird and other clients. To sign up, simply log in with Thunderbird with a nine-character username and a good password - it will fail if the username is taken.

#DeltaChat sends encrypted messages over email. You can also use regular unencrypted #email with it. It offers the easiest encrypted email setup; the other person simply has to use Delta Chat or another #Autocrypt compatible app and your emails will be automatically encrypted.

### Email Client Overview - by Nick

Here is a good video overview by Nick,, of the best and most common Linux Email clients. (with a little bit on Tuxedo Linux Laptops at the end)

To go to the video, click this 👉 [TilVids link](https://tilvids.com/w/uYSsuQicHbfRgnDKv5CyiP).

Here are shortcuts so can skip the ones you're already familiar with.

1. Thunderbird - [01:30](https://tilvids.com/w/uYSsuQicHbfRgnDKv5CyiP?start=1m30s)

2. Geary - [04:15](https://tilvids.com/w/uYSsuQicHbfRgnDKv5CyiP?start=4m15s)

- Good 4 Linux phones

3. KMail - [05:49](https://tilvids.com/w/uYSsuQicHbfRgnDKv5CyiP?start=5m49s)

4. Evolution - [07:45](https://tilvids.com/w/uYSsuQicHbfRgnDKv5CyiP?start=7m45s)

- Good 4 Linux phone calendar notifications

- Syncs Linux phone to Nextcloud cal notifications)

- Syncs Nextcloud contacts, calendar and tasks to Linux phones

6. Mailspring - [09:36](https://tilvids.com/w/uYSsuQicHbfRgnDKv5CyiP?start=9m36s)

7. BlueMail (Not Open Source) - [11:12](https://tilvids.com/w/uYSsuQicHbfRgnDKv5CyiP?start=11m12s)

Missed the best one #DeltaChat

Need part 2, how Muslims feed #BigTech and contribute to Status Quo while neglecting #FOSS and #GnuLinux.

Yes, from day one Firefox, Brave and others can install extensions long before Android : ) since all apps are the desktop versions just AArch64 builds.

I'm using one of the 2 you mentioned.

ProtonMail and Tutanota are designed for people who can’t or don’t want to manage their own encryption, keys, and secure setups.

They’re convenience-first services with "security wrappers," not power-user systems.

You, on the other hand, already run:

Real IMAP/SMTP with TLS

Real GPG end-to-end encryption

Your own trust model

Your own keyring

Your own MUAs or TUIs

That is actual security — and far more flexible, transparent, and interoperable.

Why these services feel restrictive to someone like you

They hide the cryptography from the user.

Their customers are non-technical folks who will never run gpg --decrypt or manage subkeys.

So they lock everything behind their own proprietary, app-bound encryption layers.

They intentionally break standard email protocols.

IMAP, SMTP, POP → disabled or forced through a proprietary bridge.

Because normal mail protocols can't natively support their "encrypt everything automatically" model.

They trade power for simplicity.

You gain nothing if you already know how to run modern Linux, GPG, S/MIME, etc.

They make you dependent on their ecosystem.

No custom clients, no TUI, no neomutt, no aerc, no msmtp, no mbsync.

That’s a massive downgrade for a real power user.

So yes — for someone like you:

Regular IMAP/SMTP + TLS + GPG beats ProtonMail and Tutanota in every possible way:

Open protocols

Full client choice

Interoperability

Real cryptographic control

Auditability

Automation

Scriptability

And most importantly: no vendor lock-in or "Bridge" nonsense

It can work for everyone, not just power users, as #Chatmail with #DeltaChat demonstrates.

https://delta.chat

Hopefully there's be a flatpak version for Linux. Thanks.

The #Chatmail project is possibly the best example of a project doing email right. End-to-end encrypted fast email based on #OpenStandards and a fully #OpenSource stack. Natively compatible with #DeltaChat, and also works with #Thunderbird and other clients. Emails get deleted from server in 3 weeks by default. Entire thing is #selfhostable and they encourage it.

Not familiar with it... Chat over Nostr. Only Linux desktop clients I've tried are nostr:nprofile1qqsgezpch78ndwrpxu97hs4vm6x3whetmy0ssldmg30d7ue8jvwanyqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcxfs5fe and nostr:nprofile1qqsrjerj9rhamu30sjnuudk3zxeh3njl852mssqng7z4up9jfj8yupqpypmhxue69uhkx6r0wf6hxtndd94k2erfd3nk2u3wvdhk6w35xs6z7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsfrt6ps

Strictly speaking, this is not correct. What they have recognised is the current government of the #WestBank.

They do not recognise the elected government of #Gaza or if any other party not working hand-in-hand with the #Zionists is elected.

#palestine

#xmpp is great but the lack of a fully-featured cross-platform client makes it difficult to onboard normies, in comparison to #DeltaChat, #ElementMessenger, #SimpleX, etc.

I agree with Alp on this. Better investment of our collective but limited time and resources would be to create a halal and family-safe general purpose FOSS nostr app and perhaps caching service, to make it easier for normal people to join.
