You definitely should try something with an actual desktop. It sounds like you’re wanting a headed server with virtualization capabilities. I’d personally run LXD or KVM and LXC if I needed a type 2 hypervisor and containers like what you’re saying. Luckily, a ton of distros support both of these at this point.

Btw, proxmox utilizes KVM and LXC on the backend. So the only difference is that you’re leveraging the tools directly. If you’re a CS student then learning the underlying tools is the best way to learn about a system and how it all interacts.

It looks like Quad9 supports DoH: quad9

I might give it a shot. It looks like a good alternative. Thanks for the recommendation.

I used to love Vivaldi, but eventually it being a chromium browser forced me to switch back to Firefox and it’s children. If they switched over to using Firefox as a base rather than chromium then I’d consider it.

It sounds like they made their own bed with preferential treatment towards Manjaro.

It largely depends on the program. If the application has native Wayland support then it usually works pretty well, but apps that only run on X11 (which need to run through Xwayland) may be a little glitchy. It will depend on a lot of different variables including drivers, model, libraries, kernel, etc. But later this month Nvidia is to release new drivers that allow “explicit sync”, which should address a lot of this I believe.

After looking through it a little bit, it sounds like HIP is mainly used for verifying hosts’ identities. It sounds like you’ll still need firewall rules in order to create the scenario in your example, right?

Does anyone know why they won’t hear this case?

Nah, what they described is more like SSO between websites.
