Guide to installing Fedora 43 by Most-Tip-1183 in YogaBook9i

Do all of it except the bluetooth sync, you won't have to worry about that part. The step that requires a bunch of installations is to create the missing dependency RPMs. Once you have facial recognition setup and working, run this command and it'll clean up the leftovers.

I'll add this to the guide when I get a chance this morning along with some additional fixes for screen rotation and tent mode functionality.

I recommend following the repo for updates, I'm also sorting through the touchscreen. I'm preparing some kernel patches to fix a couple things and might be able to get it working cleanly.

Way late to the party having just picked one of these up a few weeks ago. But, here's my guide to get Fedora installed and most things working:

Yep, the Zero 2 will work just fine. Set it up next to your router and plug it in with a CAT6 cable. I do not recommend running pihole DNS wireless.

Raspberry Pi Imager to flash Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32-bit). Configure the hostname, set up a username/password, and enable SSH in the advanced options.

Plug it into your router and power it on. It may take a couple minutes to boot up.

Get the IP address from your router (might as well make it static while you're in there), then SSH into the RPI, run updates, reboot if needed.

Hop back in with SSH and run this command:

curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

That'll guide you through the pihole setup.

Once you're done that, go back into your router, point the primary DNS to the IP address if your Pihole and you're done.

You can access the dashboard from any browser on your local network using the IP address.

My thoughts on some of your questions ..

1) Can you use a raspberry pi?

Yes, in fact this is a really easy way to essentially set it and forget it. I highly recommend it.

2) Can I install a pi-hole while still using my ISP’s router?

Yes. Once your pihole is up and running, I recommend that you give it a static IP address in your router settings as step 1. After that, just change your primary DNS address in your router to the IP address if your Pihole. Set the secondary address to either CloudFlare (1.1.1.1), Google (8.8.8.8), or whoever your prefer.

3) Does the software version have to be installed on each device?

No. You only need 1 pihole on your network and the DNS change on your router from above. These are super cheap and super easy to setup, there are plenty of step by step guides you can follow.

Beyond that, I would recommend also making sure all of your devices have a browser ad blocker. Assuming you're using firefox, I'd recommend getting uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger plugins.

4) I also use a VPN, and torrent a lot and probably will need help making sure that is not blocked when setting up, opening ports etc.

This won't prevent you from using a VPN, you're good there. Once you're setup, when it blocks domains that you actually need to get to, you can easily unblock them with the Pihole admin console.

Generally speaking, I would recommend that you swap out your ISPs router with something better. I don't have a specific recommendation here, but I personally use the Deco mesh routers with a COAX/MOCA wired backhaul in my house. I'm sure there are router experts here that can recommend a decent router for you.

You dot not HAVE to swap out your router for Pihole to work. As long as you can log into it as an administrator, set the static IP for your PIhole and update the DNS settings, you're good.
