For anyone using ProtonMail, this weeks episode of Security Now with Steve Gibson may be worth checking out. To summarize: it's not really anonymous. ProtonMail is located in Switzerland (which is loudly touted) and must abide by Swiss law. So when the Swiss government demanded logs ProtonMail...

I believe this is a worthy topic and should be discussed among Linux aficionados. Unfortunately the "moderator", in zealous proficiency...

After installing Linux alongside Windows either one or the other operating system will boot up and run. They will not both run at the same time. Therefore, all the RAM ( 4 GB )will be available to the operating system in use. 4 GB of RAM should be enough to 'comfortably' run most Linux distros...
