@bigbox drivers sit in the linux kernel. You’ll need to wait for next iteration of OS to get a newer kernel that might include your wifi model as well. ZorinOS 17 is due to be released in a few months.

@bigbox with ZorinOS you won’t feel the difference when coming from spydows. As soon as I made the switch to Linux I tested over 15 distros and I ended up with ZorinOS Core.
@nachtigall Ohh I can prove it very well, but not in a 500 characters limit. I’m also not going to do your homework for you. Living with ignorance is not going to solve anything. Labeling others gives you a false state of superiority.
Make the right choices in life before reaching the point where is going to be too late. I’m not going to have my kids complaining why I sat and did nothing.
@nachtigall Unfortunately, this is public info already: “Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better.” - WEF 2016
I wasn’t trying to give you an answer but determine you to Do Your Own Research.
@Pantherina :)) and I also shut down my google account completely. Together with this, replacing all google apps with more reputable alternatives. Let’s hope that a good alternative for GPlay Store is not far away.
@nachtigall Where do you think the human rights erosion trend started from? Suddenly most of the countries are pushing one way or another to censor free speech? India has already banned E2EE, UK, US and EU are currently trying to push it through the back doors but resistance is quickly building up.
@Veritas I’m guessing WEF puppets are infiltrated there as well.
@comfy Same like Intel ME is able to take full ownership of your computer without your approval or awareness. This can only happen due to the closed source firmware these devices are using. If I could electrically kill these components, or the possibility of having them removed, I would consider myself fully protected. Again, this approach might not be good for everyone. Maybe “full” is not the correct wording. I guess “ideal security and privacy” is what I was looking for. You are right here.
@comfy The hardware approach has already surpassed most of androids due to their open firmware nature. In my scenario, let’s say I’m going to a protest and enforce my human rights upon the establishment. I turn off cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, BLE, NFC, UWB and just use my phone as a pocket computer to take video footage. Later I read a security article that the cellular modem in my phone is able to transmit data outside phone’s operating system.
@comfy in terms of software linux phones still have a long way to catch android. Even when taking the desktop flavors, against windows, linux is still not a match. Thanks for sharing that article. Is good to know exactly which are the areas where linux must improve.
@comfy @thursday_j GrapheneOS is the best flavour of Android that you can get with the downside that is limited to one single phone brand. But Android itself is far from being perfect. That’s when Linux phones step in. Currently they are just in development stage and not really intended as daily drivers. But that changes with adoption.
@comfy @thursday_j Indeed you need context, but let’s limit the concept of “full privacy and security” to things that are in your control. E.g you might control the physical safety of your device but you can’t control how many man-in-the-middle are between your phone and the rest of the internet. As a regular technology user my threat actors are big-tech and establishments.

@shreddy_scientist @Grouchy You might also have a look at mobile phones that offer electrically kill switches or can even have these components physically removed. E.g: Pinephone PRO, Librem 5, Fairphone 4
@shreddy_scientist @Grouchy Any device connected to a wireless technology lacks full security and privacy.
You might carry on your mobile phone with you as there are lots of other functions you can do on it. But, in order to benefit from full privacy and security you should disable: cellular modem, wifi, bluetooth, nfc, uwb. And you must run an operating system that is entirely open source to be sure that these components stay off after you disabled them.
@nachtigall @lemmyreader As already seen from the elections in Italy during covid, EU does not work for people anymore and now favors the people in power. Massive exits are now to be expected like frexit, itext, gexit etc.
@ray why does the pathetic UK gvmt wants to listen my private conversations with my family?
@Tretiak i wonder when will they expand it to combat establishment dissent and free speech in general?
