Yeah, bar progress is sus

Full “It’s my first day on linux” step-by-step guide. Everything from updating, setting themes, backups, installing nvidia drivers is in there. All relevant choices are meticulously explained.

Ok… that’s not what you said though? That’s a usage guide, not a set up wizard. Sorry for being pedantic, but words mean things, and sometimes if you use the wrong words for things people can get confused by what you’re trying to say.

It’s the only distro I know with a fully featured setup wizard that holds your hand through the entire process.

Ubuntu, Fedora, Nobara(Fedora fork by GloriousEggroll of proton-ge), Garuda Arch, Pop!OS. Those are just the few I’ve personally fiddled with.

Highly recommend Garuda, Nobara and Pop!, in that order, for gaming.

Ah, gotcha, makes sense.

Not trying to be a dick, but how is it different? From your description of what you were missing it sounds like exactly the same thing.

Ah, the cowboy method. Gotcha.

I mean…the cartoon has basically all kinds of coffee prep excepting french press, aeropress and the various ways to make cold brew. Are you talking about instant coffee? Because that’s definitely windows…

Currently I still find it too much of a hastle to correctly run Winblows applications, almost always relying on Lutris, Steams proton or Bottles to do the work for me.

That’s…uhhh… that’s why they were made? So that your average Joe Schmoe, like myself and you, doesn’t have to muddle through trying to get wine set exactly right so that the windows program functions. It sounds like you’re complaining about the solution to the problem.
I guess there could be work done to just make it so if you double click on a .exe install file in just boots whatever has the best install preset, or give you a pop up with options for lutris/proton/bottles.

Haven’t had to use them recently, check out the man?

Have you tried silver, crosses or a stake?

Ok, tell me how many people who would be using Linux, that might have issues looking up things, that wouldn’t default to Google. There’s a significant portion of the population that thinks Google is the only search engine.

Oh, no totally, there’s people asking questions that Google used to be able to answer. Google is now a burning tire fire, and getting a useable answer from it can now be a full time job…is what I’m saying.

that could have been solved with a google search

This is very quickly becoming untrue. Actually, I’d argue that it’s been somewhat not the case for some situations, that I’ve personally encountered, for over a decade. There’s times when I search forums for days, finally find someone who’s experiencing the exact same issue as me. The post is marked solved! Fuck yeah!
The post:

OP: Hey guys, I’m trying to fix xyz and I’m not able to find anything on it. Could I get some help?

Two months after initial post:

Only reply is OP: Nevermind guys, I figured it out.

Me: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

Whatcha playing? Flappy Turd?

Thanks so much for taking the time to give me this info.

Ah, yeah, sorry. Currently I’m using WireGuard, but I’m open to using something else.

I’ll have a look at Tail/Headscale, this was very informative, thank you very much.

Some users just need to be able to exit my home network.
I would like to, maybe, in the future have a file server/jellyfin, have access to other devices on my network and if I’m somewhere with low enough latency stream games off steam.

Just wanted to say, thanks for asking me for further details. You could have been a dick about my unclear initial post, and I appreciate your just picking away at it until I was a bit more specific about what I was actually asking for.
If this was reddit the whole thing would’ve been a fair bit more hostile.

Email is going through my domain to ProtonMail, was really easy to set up, and works like a charm.

This is all good info, thanks! Gives me a bit of reading to do before I start shifting everything over.

VPN needs to come in from my domain IP, but exit from my network. What network security best practices should I be implementing?
