Is it still useful to contact a representative of your country if your country is already opposed to this?

I know you can run openwrt as a VM on a NAS. Might be a good solution for you. Theoreticaly you can use virtual interfaces and bridges on the NAS to use a single fysical network interface. But a second card will be the most easy option

Depends a little of how you set it up. But for the target system at least use some kind of raid/raidz. With ZFS you can do “zfs-send” perhaps? Or something like good old rsync would work to.

If it is the rolling aspect OP likes about arch. Then absolutely. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is amazing. But I do think something like Gentoo is more arch like in the sense that you got to do most things your self.

Arch Being cult like is stereotypical. Far from reality.

Rhel and Fedora are separate entities and work on their own, but they do influence each other.

Keeping OpenBDSM alive 😆

Be mindful to not set the H200 to passtrough mode. You need to flash the IT firmware to it for it to work properly.

Old kernel = old drivers. Its that simple… Things might work on a basic level sure. Drivers baked in to the kernel and when you use a damn old version of it you get old drivers and old hardware support.

Debian is so old it doesn’t work on very modern hardware… So what your talking about?

Also Ubuntu is not a “server” option. They do have a server option yes. It is the most used desktop or at least was.

Also I used arch for ca 2 years not once needed to use a backup. Even though I abused the hell out of it.

Most major distros are fairly secure by default without things breaking (arch is a exception there, As you got to set that up your self).

If you want to go extreme their is Qubes OS. But you can not swap that across systems like you might want do.

Dont be scared of a terminal. It is your friend 😁

Actually fairly simple to do. Get a large USB then use that as the target for the install you boot from a second USB. Now you got a full Linux install on a USB

Ahh I see yes that’s better.

Which is a bad thing if your user is in the sudoers or wheel group

Honestly Fedora is not all nice and sunshine… I would suggest Opensuse Tumbleweed over Fedora anytime nowadays.

What did you end up with then? Just curious. Every Linux distros or even any system at this point suffers that problem.

Why is tumbleweed to much of a Hassel to keep updated? You can update it once a decade and still be up and running.

I love my Tumbleweed install. It is rolling and new while also being rock solid. But I do have the itch to try new stuff which j do sometimes

Suggesting NixOS to a completely new user is stupid. NixOS is cool but very different from almost all Linux distros. Comes with its own language you have to learn as well.
