  • what people recommend Ubuntu Mint Zorin Fedora Gnome Arch as a new user

    Operating system, Operating system, Operating system, Operating system, Desktop environment?, Operating system.

    People recommend what works for them, OP just got unlucky with some weirdly specific touch pad and driver troubles on a laptop, not unheard of but I suspect the manufacturer never released the drivers for Linux nor the source code so I bet Fedora / OpenSuse came up with their own solution that the other distros mentioned lacked.














  • You can benefit from both a commercial VPN provider as well as at-home hosted.

    My Asus WRT router, which I flashed with Merlin firmware, has a feature called “VPN Director”, I can connect to 5 different VPN clients at a time and forward my devices connections individually through each one.

    My Asus router also has the option to host a WireGuard Server which i then forward through one of the VPN clients with the VPN director.

    Essentially creating a multi-hop network, the flow goes a little like such;

    Device -> WireGuard Tunnel -> Home Network -> WireGuard Tunnel -> Commercial VPN Server

    The commercial VPN is my endpoint therefore what the internet sees when I browse however I also benefit from my PiHole which handles my DNS queries an blocklists.
