sudo zypper packages --unneded will give you a list of packages that have not been explicitly requested and are not dependencies of explicitly requested packages. As for how to remove them… IDK (I do it manually, once in a blue moon: it’s not like there’s new unneded packages every week).

It’s been a while since I’ve used debian, but IIRC apt autoremove will leave behind config files (unless you specify --purge).

In tumbleweed (and I think all rpm-based distros?) config files are removed per default together with packages (well, the config files installed with the package, not others that may have been created later such as the ones in your \~ - basically zypper rm is the same as apt purge).

Google has many faults, but the one responsible for this one is someone else :)

The FOSS google maps alternatives I hear recommended most often are OsmAnd+ and, especially, Organic Maps.

Personally I don’t use maps very often (I know my way around my area pretty well, so I usually just lookup the location of wherever I want to go before leaving home), but I’d say Organic Maps is simpler and more user friendly than OsmAnd+.

Both can work offline if you download the maps for your area.

The maps are pretty good (at least in my area), but compared to Google Maps you’ll have to rely more on street addresses as there aren’t as many points of interest.

We do deserve end-to-end encrypted communication but then nobody except nerds could be bothered about managing private keys, so in the end providers would manage our keys and still be able to read our messages.

If the problem is that goggle/etc can read your email, not using them for your email is the solution.

Then, yes, there’s also an issue where ecommerce sites submerge us in useless email (is “your package has been shipped” an event so important that I must be immediately notified? Because I only care about when the package will be delivered) and could use a “notificaiton settings” page.

Of the sites I use, the worst offender is aliexpress, which sends (IIRC) “order confirmed”, “package shipped”, “packages reached customs”, “package cleared customs” and “package has been delivered” for every friggin’ item you ordered.
