What I’m curious about is what data Facebook can collect from a Signal user.

Exactly my thought. How will participants be id'ed? Facebook won't jump through hoops to prevent collecting phone numbers for this.

Registering by phone number has been a major discussion point towards Signal too and I personally only tolerate that because I trust them enough to only store them hashed. I don't trust Meta.

Subsidizing foreign mega corps to make (not even develop) chips in Germany with €3M per job while the local infrastructure is inferior to other countries is not just unpopular. It's objectively stupid policy and a waste of taxpayer money.

Not from Apple's point of view. They want you to buy their latest and greatest, not some used device. They just tolerate that market to push adoption.

They are a real treasure trove though. Those crypto token thefts show there's much money in that. I wouldn't bet my most sensitive data they covered every single attack vector - external or internal. You managing your password locally may be much less secure but it's also much less likely you're directly targeted.

internal websites which don’t have any ads on them

I'm sure Chrome could serve you some anyway.

Running AAA games with kernel level anti-cheat (aka malware) would be an example.

Windows-exclusive software like some ERP client, specific hardware drivers etc. Also, there's no real alternative for Excel, unfortunately (LibreOffice isn't good enough).

Memory management and file IO is far more efficient in Linux. So much so that I even got better performance in Windows running Debian in a VM for some very file-intensive stuff. And by better performance I mean a factor of about 10.
