Thanks for the app, @talklittle. I purchased RIF back in 2012 and it has been the only way I've used reddit on mobile ever since. Sad to see it go.

If I have to use Windows then WSL is fine, otherwise I'd always use Linux.

As far as privacy is concerned, if it's running on Windows then WSL is not going to help.

I'd suggest that good middle ground would be installing Linux and running Windows in a VM.

Try one of the lightweight Ubuntu distros: Lubuntu or Xubuntu.
