Doublezero Posted February 4 Author Posted February 4 I had no idea Zorin OS was this good I'm satisfied with Mint, but if I had to switch, I would give it a try. Quote
ritualclarity Posted February 4 Posted February 4 I've heard good things about Zorin. Haven't used it myself. Mint is still good for noobs. However, someone that has had some miles under their keyboard in regards to Linux might want to move over to Zorin. IMO. At least it is better than Unbuntu. On a different subject. I had a problem with my VPN. It was leaking all of a sudden. After the most recent Mint update or Nord update not sure which is the problem. Quote If NordVPN's kill switch is leaking traffic on Linux Mint, ensure it is activated via terminal ( nordvpn set killswitch on) and verify that the NordVPN firewall is enabled (nordvpn settings). The kill switch on Linux often needs manual activation. For stronger protection, configure UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) to block all non-VPN traffic. Here are specific steps to address the leak: Activate the Native Kill Switch: Run nordvpn set killswitch on to enable the built-in feature. Check Settings: Use nordvpn settings to confirm Kill Switch and Firewall are both enabled. Verify Traffic: If traffic still passes, the application-level kill switch may not be sufficient. Consider implementing a UFW-based, system-level kill switch that blocks all traffic except through the tun0 interface. Restart Daemon: Sometimes the nordvpn daemon needs a restart to properly apply firewall rules: sudo systemctl restart nordvpnd. Note that in newer NordVPN Linux versions, LAN traffic might be allowed by default even with the kill switch on, which can be restricted using nordvpn set lan-discovery off. Seriously? I tried it with another disto and it worked properly. The fact that something can fail even when turned on in Linux is very concerning. I've decided ot go down the rabit hole of learning DNS settings and firewall ports and settings so as to manually setup connections. It is something I need to do in order to setup some complex task I want to do in the future. (having differnt net connections, VPNs, etc.) Lots of good stuff! lol. Quote
Doublezero Posted 18 hours ago Author Posted 18 hours ago Quote Will Mint be complying with state by state, country by country, Operating System ID laws? Where is Mint based out of and how is it distributed? Will there be an announcement for any updates in the future that will fall under compliance with these laws? What does the future of Mint under these new laws look like going forward and how will Linux Mint be handling compliance? Quote 1. NO 2. Ireland. 3. YES in the Announcement Area. 4. it wont, be applicable. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=2757501#p2757501 1 Quote
ritualclarity Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Another stupid law from a stupid goverment of California. Can't be enforced at least the "all" operating systems. Another leftist pipe dream. Still not addressing the actual concern and issue of pedos getting into children centric parts of the web. Or course they don't want to do that. Why, just look up Epstein Files. YOu will quickly find out that information. They want to CONTROL and MONITOR people. That is the main reason for this. The "protection" is a lie. Quote
ritualclarity Posted 59 minutes ago Posted 59 minutes ago I can't believe that is coming from EA of all places. I will accept it regardless. Quote
