| lotka | hey guys | 19:19 |
|---|---|---|
| lotka | I'm new to Lubuntu, are there any must have programs i should install? | 19:20 |
| kc2bez | lotka: I guess that depends on what you would like to do. There are many great applications already installed. | 19:22 |
| lotka | im looking to browse the net with privacy, ive tried tor browser but its a bit slow, are there any other browsers that focus on privacy? | 19:23 |
| wxl | tor is the only one the actually does it well | 19:24 |
| wxl | more to the point i should say tor is the only way to truly use the internet privately | 19:25 |
| wxl | however, it is NOT meant to be fast | 19:25 |
| wxl | unless you're using onion sites (i.e. those within the tor network itself and not the clearnet, what we normally think of as the internet) | 19:26 |
| lotka | would firefox and a vpn be adequate? i dont plan on overthrowing any governments...yet... so dont need anything too extreme | 19:26 |
| wxl | good point. it's your threat level that will suggest the right course of action | 19:27 |
| wxl | i would say that would be fairly reasonable, but be careful about your choice of vpns | 19:27 |
| akemhp | VPN is fine, but it's not free usually, NordVPN is pretty cheap and i can recommend it, i'm using it since about 2 years. | 19:28 |
| wxl | i would recommend riseup-vpn which is not the fastest solution but absolutely the best at respsecting your privacy | 19:28 |
| lotka | great ill give them both a look, i have a Windscribe account that has 60gb a month but not sure how secure they are | 19:28 |
| wxl | https://snapcraft.io/riseup-vpn | 19:29 |
| akemhp | Choose one that does not log and that has lots of servers available around the world. | 19:29 |
| wxl | riseup is donationware, fwiw | 19:29 |
| lotka | i thought id try riseup on windows and Defender detected "Program:Win32/Uwasson.A!ml" as a threat, any idea what this is? | 19:43 |

| lotka | awesome thank you | 19:49 |
| lotka | is there a way to enable a dark theme for the FIle Manager? | 20:14 |

| tbs | wxl: i also couldnt find vpn, riseup seem so good realy, thanks | 20:27 |
| akemhp | Didn't find out to apply dark theme to file manager, however Thunar file manager can use dark gtk theme without pblm. | 20:29 |
| akemhp | It's similar. | 20:29 |
| akemhp | Because i use dark themed Thunar on my other regular Ubuntus. | 20:30 |
| wxl | akemhp: is that lubuntu 18.04? | 20:30 |
| lotka | ok thanks ill check it out | 20:30 |
| tbs | lotka: i checked some but i dont remember any of them makes file manager dark | 20:30 |
| akemhp | wxl, 19.04 i think, but i'm on normal Ubuntu right now, not the same computer. Not sure. | 20:31 |
| wxl | sorry i meant that for lotka.. what version of lubuntu you on? | 20:32 |
| wxl | https://phab.lubuntu.me/w/packaging/packaging_for_new_upstream_releases/ | 20:40 |
| kc2bez | wxl: Ooops ^ | 20:46 |
| kc2bez | But yeah +1 on that. | 20:47 |
| wxl | and i was doing so good, too | 20:47 |
