  • Unpopular opinion but… First privacy and security is not the same, one relays on the other tho. So find your treat model when it comes to privacy. If its about security as you mentioems qubes is also great, yet needs a lot of knowledge. Your computer is only as secure as you made it and make it! Keep it up to date etc. For a normal user who don’t have the knowledge or used qubes or even Linux in the past it is probably a jump to high. Macos is secure, not very private. Consider all of this find out yout treat model find out what you use your computer for. Separate business and private accounts etc…






  • It depends on what you need and what the other side has. It is true you can use PGP encryption with proton, yet not with tutanota. However, how many of your friends use PGP? You could also host yourself? This said, on both tutanota and proton you can set a password to encrypt to none tutanota/proton users. Both services are excellent, both lack imap or pop3. Yes proton can do this with a bridge on desktop, but has google services on android where only the app works. Tutanota does that without Google services.

    The big question is, what are you looking for? Just a Gmail replacement or PGP capable email. If it’s just for a Gmail replacement have also a look to skiff.com.
