Sure :) buckle up

  1. Navigate to https://protonapps.com.

  2. You'll see all their apps and the various flavors they come in (windows, android, iOS, etc.) I'll use ProtonMail as an example.

  3. Under "Android" you'll see a link called Download APK, click on it.

  4. On the following web page, copy the URL.

  5. Now you can head on over to Obtainium.

  6. Click on "Add App".

  7. On the first line, paste the URL we just copied.

  8. Select "Add".

  9. I highly suggest you utilize AppVerifier to ensure your apps have downloaded properly. If you do, at this point you'll share the freshly downloaded app to AppVerifier, run through the on screen steps for verification, and it'll send you back to Obtainium to finish installation. If you don't use it/don't want to use it/think it's too complicated, then just skip this step.

  10. You might need to tell your phone its okay for Obtainium to install apps, however if you're running Shizuku this step will be automatic.

  11. Obtainium will install the app, and handle any updates for you!

Proton is good about keeping that website updated. If you do a fresh install of (for example) version "13.0.2" and Obtainium immediately says "a new version is available" but the version number looks like 2849693837374, that's a "normal bug". Basically, for whatever reason, Obtainium couldn't recognize 13.0.2 as the version number, so it pulled the random string of #s from the apk itself (it's not really random, there is a name for that #, but I'm not tech savvy enough to be able to tell you what it is). Anyway. There's a button at the bottom of the screen that let's you mark an app as updated, to stop Obtainium from constantly trying to update the same app over and over.


And like I said, if step #9 is too much too fast, just skip it for now. Get comfortable using Obtainium first, and then come back to it if you want to later. You'll definitely want to use AppVerifier if you get a lot of apps from Github.

Big shock. Israel is a terrorist state. It should never have existed in the first place, and it doesn't deserve to exist now. They are an occupying force, an invading army. They're murdering innocent people because their imaginary friend told them they could. Absolute dog sht nation with an absolute dog sht leader.

There's a couple things you could try.

  1. Open up an incognito browser window, and Google your email address. It will usually show you relevant accounts (I.e. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.). You could also search your name and see if any accounts come up that way.

  2. Check out OSINT Framework. It's a very useful tool for remediating your digital footprint.

Couple notes here:

  1. You don't need Aurora Store for ProtonVPN. You can get all of the Proton apps here and update them through Obtainium.

  2. Fossify Music Player isn't abandoned. Watch their github page. They work on all of their apps regularly. Specifically the last work on Music Player was 3 weeks ago. Updates are slow because it's mostly 1 guy doing 90+% of the work.

Great list, though. I use a lot of the same apps. Feels great putting distance between yourself and the data-hoovers.

Label the Play Store version as "Pro" but don't actually change anything. It'll have a placebo-like effect and make people feel better about spending money.

Linux Mint is pretty user friendly. I'm also not a fan of typing code, but so far the only thing I've HAD to use terminal for came with really easy instructions and the commands were listed out (like a recipe) so all I had to do was copy/paste and things worked out just fine.

The 1 issue I ran into was upgrading from LM 21.3 to 22. I had to go back to 21.3 because 22 couldn't connect to wifi (I'm guessing because my machine is old) but 21.3 works perfect. My other machine is a lot newer and just about to the end of its warranty period, so once that's up I plan to switch that one to Linux as well.
