As for Microsoft 365, we have a beautiful alternative in Europe, total privacy. It's called Proton, even Proton itself can't access your data, completely open source, based in privacy friendly Switzerland.

How's the Proton switch been going for you? The one thing I found tricky was calendar sharing with people still on Google. Everything else felt like a straight upgrade though.

I don't do calendar sharing so can't comment on that. For me it was also a straight enough upgrade with one caveat, Proton drive is not yet out for Linux so no sync there yet. Will happen 2026 and that's ok for me. If you're a windows user though its a very good replacement.

Linux drive sync is the one gap that keeps Proton from being a full desktop replacement. Funny how that's always the last piece to land on Linux, even from privacy-first companies.
