Yes for sure, it’s not a desert

Next up: Microsoft Linux with crap like Game Center.

In sway / i3 you can switch to tabbed layout (MOD+W) which shows “browser tabs” for all open windows

You might have a MicroSD or SD cars lying around which you can use as a USB stick with a $1 reader e.g. from Aliexpress.

Why Ubuntu though? For someone migrating from Windows I can recommend using an immutable distro like Bazzite/Silverblue/Kinoite (based on Fedora Atomic) or Opensuse Tumbleweed.

This. With Linux there are lots of ways to troubleshoot problems. With Windows it always comes back to reinstalling the software, drivers, updates, trying different settings desperately, reinstalling Windows.

You need something like Traefik which does https for the services.

They offer standard wireguard and openvpn configs. There is no need for a “Airvpn client” gui.

Same for me, I can see, hear, feel and even smell memories or fictional situations. For other people this is not possible, they do it differently.

Unpopular opinion but KDE is a usability nightmare. Mate, Cinnamon or XFCE are much better in this regard.

Actually it is simple and secure. I’ve been using it for 8+ years.

This. Do not expose any service to the internet or even LAN. All clients need to connect via VPN to your machine, no matter if from LAN/home or on the road (WAN/Internet). You can still use a reverse proxy and custom domain names so inside the VPN network everything is HTTPS and each service has a nice domain name.

AirVpn is awesome

How often did you need a raw video older than one year?

I did not have any problems with Wayland for 6 months on Arch (personal PC for hobby projects and gaming). I also don’t want to troubleshoot, it just works. Most applications are installed via flatpak.

Back in 2015 for gaming PC: Steam and Nvidia driver updates via package manager, Xfce (used it before on multiple laptops), promise to be more stable than vanilla arch.

This is a strong indicator that your PC crashed because of a hardware problem. Use prime95 with the small settings to test CPU stability (minimum 1h). Use memtest86 (the free version) or prime95 with large/memory settings to test your Ram. It could also be your PSU failing/shutting off or shutoff caused by overheating.

What do the system logs say? “sudo journalctl -b-1” after a reboot and jump to the end.

Best solution is to use docker. One container is gluetun which provides the VPN connection. The other container runs transmission or qbittorrent and its traffic is routed over gluetun.
