If you’re not already, use it as your main system. Don’t dual boot. Stop using windows and mac. When you run into something you need to do, figure out how to do it on linux. It will be slow going at first, but after a few months you will pick up more productivity than you had before.

Another commenter recommended the fish shell, but I disagree because fish is not posix compliant. Almost all of the shell script examples that you will find assume posix compatibility and will usually have to be modified to run with fish. Once you get comfortable with a posix-compliant shell, then maybe consider fish or another “modern” shell.

On the topic of shells, read the bash manual. It’s long and informative. You don’t have to memorize it, but be aware of the different concepts there, and refer to it when you need to. It’s pretty horrible as a programming language, but it’s what glues most of Linux together.

First, make sure it’s enabled in your kernel. Check the value in /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq to see if it’s enabled. Then see if you can trigger it by writing to /proc/sysrq-trigger. Then try an external keyboard that has real SysRq key. If all of those work, you may have to ask Framework support if their keyboard supports generating that keystroke.

The “Magic SysRq key” may be helpful as a last resort.

https://simplelogin.io/ (owned by Proton) is great for this. They have a feature to generate an email address by random word or even by uuid.

iOS has Lockdown Mode which it sounds like you could benefit from.

Also on iOS: Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers

I succeeded in doing this once long ago. Then while in the Linux vm I wiped the VM’s partition table, which wiped the physical disk partition table, including windows. Do not recommend.

I think you should reconsider Proton. It seems to tick all of your boxes except US-based. However, I know they have US-based VPN servers, so I expect they have US-based email servers as well. It’s worth asking their support team about.

Looks like you’re paying $138/yr for Proton, SL, and vpn. Consider getting Proton Unlimited for $120/yr which includes all of the above, and use Proton vpn.

I was also going to suggest Haiku. It’s the spiritual successor to BeOs. I was always disappointed that didn’t become more popular.

Ah, yes, I live on “St Mary’ ; DROP TABLE street”

Consider how well Lotus Notes handles your form>…>messaging pipeline. Why aren’t we still using an evolution of that? There’s always a shiny new technology that promises to fix all of the problems of the previous ones.

Memorize and practice this! You can do it in 2 seconds.
