The official Proton client or Open VPN with Proton credentials?

Great explanation. Quick follow up question.

One thing I necessarily will want to install is Proton VPN*. Per their website,

Our app officially supports the latest stable Ubuntu LTS version running the GNOME desktop environment. It should work on most distributions based on Ubuntu, but we haven’t tested them and therefore do not officially support them.

This makes it sound like it will only work on gnome DE and implies it won’t work on Ubuntu with KDE (for example)

*ok, so I’m also aware that you can use Proton VPN through open vpn somehow but for the purposes of my understanding of distribution vs DE, let’s just ignore that for now.

I have installed and used Ubuntu in the past. Now I’m exploring a project that uses a raspberry pi and I’m running into terms that I don’t know how to distinguish between.

This article is conflating terms that I need help distinguishing between. The other commenter mentioned that Ubuntu is a type of Debian but this article lists Debian and Ubuntu as distributions.

Awesome. Thank you. So I understand why a debian package wouldn’t work on Fedora, but are there Kubuntu packages that wouldn’t work on Lubuntu? Otherwise is there “Kedora” and “Ludora”?

I’ll check out Redacted

What percentage of us love pirating music and putting it on Plex?

Like which operating system it runs and the user interface and what the remote is like and how big the bezels are and how good the sound quality is and how many hdmi ports it has… Like if you care about some specific detail make sure it has the thing you want or doesn’t have a version you hate

Unless you’re picky about certain small details, this is a solid choice

If you’re looking for the best bang for your buck look at LED TVs. Different companies have different names for their specific LED technology, like QLED or MiniLED. If you’re looking for the best bang irrespective of bucks, go for an OLED.

Then choose your brand on which OS it uses and other features. Then crank up the size until you reach $1,000.

Think of all the Apple shit your phone depends on. iCloud, iMessage, any time you have to authenticate with your apple password. Probably a bunch of other iBullshit that I’m not familiar with because I don’t have an iPhone. At the very least, your OS would stop getting security updates, and like you said, you wouldn’t have an app store to push app updates. Some stuff would break immediately and other stuff would degrade over time.

Now imagine it’s your car

If Google or Apple went out of business (depending on which phone you have) you’d stop getting updates and it’d stop working.

This will never happen

This is awesome. But I’m a little suspicious. How is it completely free? Seems like video conferencing would use a lot of resources

But at that point what are you even gaining? If you’re looking for privacy you’re just trading Google tracking you for “third party service provider” tracking you

Sounds like you just have different shit to deal with

Does it have traffic data?

Right and how much time do we save by having computers? Fixing the problems is just the cost of doing business
