[19:19] <lotka> hey guys
[19:20] <lotka> I'm new to Lubuntu, are there any must have programs i should install?
[19:22] <kc2bez> lotka: I guess that depends on what you would like to do. There are many great applications already installed.
[19:23] <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?
[19:24] <wxl> tor is the only one the actually does it well
[19:25] <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
[19:26] <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
[19:27] <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
[19:28] <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
[19:29] <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
[19:43] <lotka> i thought id try riseup on windows and Defender detected "Program:Win32/Uwasson.A!ml" as a threat, any idea what this is?

[19:49] <lotka> awesome thank you
[20:14] <lotka> is there a way to enable a dark theme for the FIle Manager?
[20:27] <tbs> wxl: i also couldnt find vpn, riseup seem so good realy, thanks
[20:29] <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.
[20:30] <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
[20:31] <akemhp> wxl, 19.04 i think, but i'm on normal Ubuntu right now, not the same computer. Not sure.
[20:32] <wxl> sorry i meant that for lotka.. what version of lubuntu you on?

[20:46] <kc2bez> wxl: Ooops ^
[20:47] <kc2bez> But yeah +1 on that.
[20:47] <wxl> and i was doing so good, too
