There are a lot of EU emails providers not just proton.
Just to list some:
mailbox.org
posteo.de
soverin.com
tutanota.com
infomaniak.com
mailo.com
Also this https://european-alternatives.eu/
edit: general speaking, too much proton.

Why'd you choose HERE WeGo over a FOSS option like CoMaps?
Comaps? It is on fdroid
I feel like Google Photos -> TrueNAS is too vague, TrueNAS is just an operating system, and it's creator, iXsystems, is American so it doesn't fit here at all.
My solution is Immich running on a docker container in OpenMediaVault. OpenMediaVault is German and Immich is multinational FOSS.
i use a smb share on truenas. truenas is opensource thats why i included it
Other alternatives:
Mail: Tuta, Mailbox.
Search Engines: SearXNG, Mullvad
Alternative to Signal: SimpleX Chat
AI: Ollama, Kobold.cpp, Llamafix
Browsers: LibreWolf, Tor, Mullvad
Navigation: OsmAnd, Organic Maps
Also, recommended for everyone regardless of threat model...
a paid VPN. And not one of the flagship ones either. Pay attention to the VPN's jurisdiction. If it's US-based or Swiss-based, it's imo a no-go.
Whatever goes on stock market can be discarded. If it's on stocks, it'll be far more profit-oriented and that's a problem.
Calling Molly an alternative to Signal is a bit much. It's, as far as I understand it, a recompile of Signal with Google Service intergations replaced by Open Source integrations
How about from ChatGPT to nothing?
Iโm currently moving from Proton to Tuta. The fiasco with shutting off journalists accounts without recourse was one straw too far.
Missing Photoshop --> GNU Image Manipulation Program (doing business as GIMP)
I used to search with Ecosia, but the Bing-sourced results were sometimes really poor quality. I've recently gave one more try to Karma Search. While it worked really poorly earlier this year, I am very positively surprised by the quality of the results! (Of course, the "quality" is my vibe at the moment, and idk if there are good ways to benchmark search engines)
I'm not a fan. Proton Mail turns out to have some fundamental issues:
They even suspended journalist accounts this month
I don't recommend Proton anymore
Or how about instead of using a hallucinating misinformation bot you just think for yourself.
Also big tip. Donโt put your eggs in one basket. Andy from Proton has gladly licked the Trump boot and proton has repeatedly pumped out new products instead of taking the time to fix the existing ones like full Linux support already. They have also been accused of vibe coding and thatโs a slippery slope to a large data breach.
For AI Language models, I have been happy with Mistral's Le Chat. For VPNs, use NordVPN. Both are great European alternatives for US-based tech giants.
