  • Having used many distros (gaming-oriented and otherwise) Nobara would be my recommendation as well.

    People saying “doesn’t matter” aren’t considering someone brand new to Linux would probably benefit from an out-of-the-box gaming ready distro (nvidia drivers ready, rgb drivers built in for gaming laptops, other gaming specific tweaks and fixes that they won’t know to install on say mint, a perfectly fine, general use distro). Not to say they wouldn’t be able to do all that on mint or Ubuntu or whatever with a bit of googling and effort, but they’re asking specifically for gaming.


  • I tried it for awhile. Speed was good, unfortunately for my use case had some show stoppers.

    Pros: -It worked good on Linux. -Custom pricing plans (you can pick exactly which nodes you need and only pay for those) available month-to-month, makes it easy to try

    Cons: -Android app couldn’t remain connected as I move from mesh WiFi pod to pod. It would think its connected still but I would have no internet connectivity until I manually reconnected the app. (Everytime I crossed my house I would have to manually reconnect). -No port forwarding (torrents)

    Ended up switching to airvpn. Use “openVPN for Android” which handles the mesh pods, and openvpn on Linux as well. Works perfectly.



  • Graphene is awesome, super easy to install with their web tool.

    For 2FA if you’re still using G00gle’s there is no way to export to try and keep you locked in. Go ahead and start switching all your stuff over to Aegis now (my recommendation, or another that’s on fdroid and allows exports) and then you literally just export the file to your secure backup (I use filen) and then import on your new graphene install. Super easy. This allows you to keep manual backups as you please as well.
