+1 for Cachy, its Arch with cheat codes for speed.

This also handles the device settings and open-razer driver, it’s more than just RBG control. I use it to set polling rate and DPI, my mouse doesn’t have rbg, either.

Check out the gmk67, it’s a 10 keyless and no F buttons size, but is hotswappable with a typical switch plucker/puller. I think multiple “companies” make and sell it, but I found mine on alliexpress for like $35. It does USB, Bluetooth, or 2.4ghz with a USB dongle that stores in the back of it. I put in Akko Lavender switches in mine and absolutely love it. The base + switches + keycaps total only cost me about 75$ for a fantastic, quality feeling keyboard.

Look for the option when installing that is along the lines of “wipe entire drive.”

If you want Debian, check out Vanilla OS. They reached a milestone not too long ago, and it’s a bulletproof distro. It containerizes most programs, it’s immutable, and has atomic updates.

Someone already mentioned, turn off secure boot in your BIOS/uefi settings.

Not sure if it’s exactly what you’re after, but Unifi gateways can install NextDNS with a script provided by NextDNS. It’s all the same lists as Pi-Hole, and possibly more intelligent ones, too. Bonus points are it makes every device in your home use encrypted DNS, as well!

I’m using it on a Dream Machine Pro, and the new Cloud Gateway Ultra.

Just a heads up, if you have a modern smart phone, Fdroid Basic is the latest and greatest official F-Droid app. The non-basic one is for older devices, now. It has to do with internally being able to use Android’s newest targetsdk version.

If you decide yes, I highly recommend Fedora Silverblue, or any of the distros based on silverblue/ublue. I myself love Bazzite for gaming.

Those are atomic and immutable, meaning you cannot easily break core files, and every single thing can be updated in the app store. It’s the windows equivalent of not being able to modify/delete C:\Windows; and getting firmware, drivers, applications, and Windows updates all in one click using the Microsoft Store.

This is because M$s scheduler sucks, and needs to be updated for the new AMD CPUs. Happened in the past with other Ryzen releases.

Unraid is amazing for getting into servers. It’s just the right amount of WebUI and minimalism. Very safe and comfortable defaults, and the ability to start tweaking and adding more.

Didn’t GPS come from NASA?

Check out massgrave dot dev, they have W11 IoT LTSC and activators. It’s the best version of Windows! No more dealing with AI bullshit being added, nor advertisements.

Refurbished Pixels for under $300 4 lyfe.

Adguard home is better than pi-hole. Both use the same lists, but adguard has built in support for DNS over HTTPS and TLS, and IMO a better UI.

I can vouch for Bazzite. It’s at the point where you don’t really have to do any tinkering. The only thing I really had to configure some extra beyond the defaults was pipewire, allowing different sample rates for my USB audio DAC.

Unraid!

Traefik + CrowdSec + Authelia ftw

This happened to me on some games when I had fractional scaling turned on, ie scaled my desktop to 125%

I’ve noticed turning on automatic crash reports for a plasma app that crashes a lot doesn’t work.

DuckDuckGo is just Bing, Brave’s is at least it’s own search engine, that grows with every unique search.

That’s the photo where he took a selfie with the hat, in front of the billboard which is a photo of him with the new hat, Yea?
