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 March 4 Author Posted March 4 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 March 4 Posted March 4 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 March 4 Posted March 4 I can't believe that is coming from EA of all places. I will accept it regardless. Quote
ritualclarity Posted Monday at 02:45 PM Posted Monday at 02:45 PM I just confortably did a combination command to install APT packs as well as Flatpack and cleanup all the files once done. I was proud of myself until I kicked myself in the behind when I remembered that I should also add clear and exit to that list. lol. Talk about fast, all updates were done in less than 5 minutes along with the cleanups. All were verbose so I could see and accept the changes (that is what slowed things down when it ask if I wanted it Yes/No. Otherwise it would have been even faster Now I need to get all the apps I added to my linux setup together so I can sudo apt that shit into one updated/install/clean command for the next time I install linux lol If it wasn't for 1. me not having another gaming machine and 2. the need for windows for simplifying my life in regards to both some games not working (online games) and mods needing windows components to make my live easier (Idon't have the skill yet to configure it that deeply so that it can run windows games well) I'd be 100% in linux now. Just the difference is the distro I would use. On a side note are anyone here excited to see the Steam machines to come out? I am. Just because at a minimum that is meaning that Linux gaming has nit main stream now. The report from @Doublezero above about EA hiring a dedicated anticheat programer is even more confirmation that the market is moving towards games on Linux as a valid and more importatntly supported option.
