You are right. After thinking about it, it’s probably safer to use the layered package. I’ll edit my comments to reflect that.

That’s very true. It’s probably safe, but even still, it’s safer to use the layered package. I should’ve pointed that out. Thank you for reminding me. (-:

What about the flatpak?

Oh, okay. I’ll delete it then.

Yeah, just using the OpenVPN file (which is natively supported by networkmanager) is way cleaner, even if you don’t get all the features. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s possible to use it on immutable distros.

Why should it be layered?

You can get it on Flathub. However as pointed out by other commenters, it is unofficial.

Posted again because you can’t post if you’re using a VPN on lemmy.world.

Install harder distros (preferably on bare metal) and use them. If you need to fix something, google it. This helped me a lot.

The default terminal (varies) gets switched to Kitty. VLC to MPV.

Okular instead of the default PDF editor (varies).

Text editor (varies) to Vim.

I usually just install Arkenfox, but if I’m feeling lazy I’ll use Librewolf.

I prefer doas, but I don’t usually switch to it.

I rebind my caps lock key (most useless key ever) to escape.

I’d say VSCodium, Kate or Vim. VSCodium if you want something like VSCode, Kate for just an absolutely amazing IDE or Vim if you want to try something new.

Fedora KDE. It’s easy to setup, modern, customizable and fast. Only issue is that it doesn’t come with proprietary codecs, so that could be a problem. Second would be Mint, it’s only flaws is that it ships an older kernel (might be a pain) and uses X11 (insecure).

I second this. uBlue is amazing if you want something that just works and doesn’t break.

I’d say Fedora KDE. It just works, the docs are good, it has a big community and large enough repos. You may have to install proprietary codecs though.
