Session Messenger----Best Secure Messaging App

Session is fundamentally different than most other secure messaging services. Conversations in Session are secured using client-side E2E encryption . Only the sender and the recipient of a message can read it. But Session goes beyond providing message security. Session also protects the identities of its users. It makes your communications private and anonymous, as well as secure. Session can do this because it connects users through a Tor -like network of thousands of Service Nodes .

Linuxfx 10 : A Windows-Like Linux Distro

The idea of Linuxfx is to make it easier for people who are migrating from Windows 7. People who are dissatisfied with the lack of security and stability of Windows 10 are also fit for Linuxfx. LinuxFX Desktop : Apart from Windows-like looks, Linuxfx also has more to offer which a regular user will definitely admire. So, let’s get along with me to know more about Windows alternative Linuxfx. As usual, I started by downloading the ISO image of Linuxfx from the official site here . Then, instead of dual-booting, I decided to install it on my VirtualBox to play safely.
