Edit: thx for the detailed response :)

What would be your ideal login process then? Every E2E Messenger I know (even WhatsApp) does similar things. (New Session -> QR Code, Lost device -> Restore Backup or Reset key)

    But who's going to go to that effort on their slab of glass?

    Those who would like to make extra sure their data stays private. On an unrelated note, what kinds of data could be considered confidential in said log?

    I disagree. The logs typically do not fit on the screen in text form, especially on low resolutions (like if the system has to fall back on an alternative graphics mode, which tends to happen more frequently in the event of a crash). Granted, a website is not the best possible solution and has the risk of leaking data but at least it is "a" solution. The data is encoded sure, but not in an obfuscated way. If you wanted, you could decode it with other means (for example a dedicated app that scans it).

    I wish it were that easy. I work in a corporate environment where we use both the dedicated apps and the webapps. You'd think those would be 1:1 compatible, they are not. Yes you can open files in both, however the formatting, especially from native -> web, constantly messes up. We also use a custom font. Good luck getting that to work in a browser. This is why I think native office apps would be huge for our linux machines (yes we use both)

    I have used it for about 3 years. Has been working fine so far. I specifically love their registration process. If you want an account, they just give you a number and that is your only piece of ID for them. The whole process takes seconds. You can set it up in a way where mullvad only knows your IP and browser. No E-Mail address or credit card needed.

    Payment is done as a credit system. You give them money and the VPN runs until that money runs out. It costs 5€ per month and the payment methods reach from PayPal to Bitcoin to literally sending them physical money via physical mail. There is no subscription of any kind. It cannot auto renew.

    If you don't trust their client you can also just use any WireGuard client you want.

    Definetly a recommend from me.

    Gnome Platform aside (as most comments suggest, probably a flatpak dependency), Discover updates everything installed through your package managers. It does not differentiate between packages. This is why it also updates GNOME Packages if they are installed
