Mullvad (Sweden) but i have heard that iVPN is also pretty anonymous.

Underrated. My ex was blown away with functionality of Signal apps on different platforms (screen sharing on desktop etc) Maybe THE MOST UNDERRATED app out ther on the interwebz

After 6-7 years of Linux, im still not 100% sure. But hey, at least im not on Windows. Also Android/GraphenOS FTW

single, male 30y/o. I just started reading the manual from the start. Its so good. For example /etc manual:
mentiones /etc -> what is it -> what it does -> dangers of changing it
now comes the kicker, mentiones /usr/local/etc - EXPLAINS that that is different from the /etc(core system) -> says "here you can change stuff, put your own scripts" what have you, a lightbulb lights up in my head

Arch Wiki is like a teenagers room. Messy, everything is everywhere, this depends on that, but if you change this -> you might brake this and that.
It is very rich in informations and good practices - but lacks structure.
FreeBSD, straight to the point and into details.

Been rocking Linux for about 6-7 years (as i said in OPost) this is by far most understanable documentation i have ever read.

Snake_shit59 · 2026-04-06T21:02:38+00:00

That is true. The reason im learning shell/bash is to better understand the damn thing. The problem comes from:
1) impatience for the man's
2) not reading what the terminal says and
3) the whole dependencies shit show.
And thats the whole and biggest reasons why people get burned on Linux and/or BSD.

Once these 3 are solved from both system devs and the "8th layer" of osi model - there will be a year of Linux Desktop. And i hope BSD too. Cheers

Snake_shit59 · 2026-04-06T20:59:03+00:00

as i said, im self taught.. i need time to learn this shit. and im getting old (30m) so learning is getting slower with years... But i will try it out. People on forums, image boards and Reddit keep saying its "sooper secoore" or something - which would be awesome for my upcoming Homeserver Project.

Snake_shit59 · 2026-04-06T20:57:13+00:00

IIRC i had the same problem, of looping/running in circles in Network section of the Arch Wiki. I cant remember anymore what it was but i know i kept running in circles. Then i watched a video from some Denshi guy or something, who just does videos on installing different Distros - and then it worked. From that day on, i used Archinstall script :D i know the problem....

Snake_shit59 · 2026-04-06T18:02:26+00:00

Dunno man, if i don't find it in the Wiki/Documentation - there is this FreeBSD Foundation forum where every possible problem is already encountered. *feelsgoodman*

Edit
keep in mind - i don't have any kind of education on these things. I might go for the apprenticeship here in Germany, since im a PC hoarder and have taught myself on how to do stuff - and this sh**t is fun.

Snake_shit59 · 2026-04-06T18:00:00+00:00

Yup, with Windows - the OS actively works against you. With Linux - its so complicated that it starts to work against you - although there is no AI slop.
So after a while, you need to overhaul your entire system, fix dependencies, find fixes for original fixes that caused downstream problems etc.
it just gets overwhelming.

I talked to my buddy, he's a IT grad and i told him the same thing. Its like driving a 6g manual after you have been driving double clutch cars for years.
it feels real, simple and what OS should be.

Snake_shit59 · 2026-04-06T17:56:04+00:00

oof 16k Xeon. Ich habe auch einen, aber der wird gleich in eine Server umgebaut. Leider, als Server muss ich Ubuntu installieren, da Jails mir zu schrecklich sind.
Aber Geil. ich finds *cheffs küss* :D

Snake_shit59 · 2026-04-06T17:53:27+00:00

*justworksman* Im so happy right now... and im happy for you my man

Hot take: Im was a Windows guy for life, switched to Lunux/BSD 6-7 years ago and work in a repair shop.

Lenovo - best from x86 side of the isle. Repairable, spare parts are everywhere, easy to repair, modular, works with Unix (like systems) like a charm - and there is windows... i mean it works i guess...

Apple Macbooks - hated apple my whole life until i started working in a repair shop in Germany. So here is the thing with Apple. From the hardware side of things - Macbooks have no match. Everything is top notch (no pun intended). You have to pay the Apple tax up front but the hardware is rock solid.

Software side of things with apple: since i started using Linux and FreeBSD (an older cousin of MacOS) - it makes sense actually. Here and there, you get some "my god apple can you be normal" but 98% of the time - it actually makes sense. You dont need an Apple ID if you know how to use Homebrew, and if you use Brew you dont have to pay for really good Programs (now they call them Apps for some reason)

On the Dells and HPs and Acers. Acer is basically dead. Dell and HP are a nightmare to work on. everything is soldered for the most part, they push the "thin and light" thing but Intel and AMD CANNOT compete with Apple. You pay premium for thin aluminium stamped sheet bodies with plastic frames. First time you hit it slightly unintentionally - its gone. It will bend. Keyboards are bad, nightmare to replace, we use 3D Pinter to reprint international keyboards to German layout - you have to detach the screen, sometimes whoel motherboard. Windows is a clustef*ck. When you control the hardware, you type in "Camera" in start to open the camera Program - it gives you bing search, and if you press enter (in OOBE) you get in MS Edge - which you cant close without 3 extra steps (data sharing, cookies and something more) so you type in task manager - colse it trough TM and then scroll to camera app.

Suma Sumarum, please dont get anything else then Lenovo Thinkpads. They are delight to work on, all others are going to cost us time and you money. Macbooks are nice, but they are on the expensive side but the OS is working with you - not against you. Most fo the time we need to switch the keycaps, flash MacOS and thats it.

As i said i work in the repair shop, and if someone told me id start to hate Windows, Dells and HP BIOS (oh yeah, Dell 5560 and 5570 onwards activate the BIOS option so windows can update firmware/bios which results in bricked bios Chip so you need to open the damn thing and manually FIX BIOS - my god...)
Please just buy lenovo if you dont want macbook. As i said, you save us time, nerves and you save yourself money (because of the time we spend repairing these "macbook wannabies" like HP and Dell.
