I tried Fedora silverblue in a VM. It took minutes and a reboot to install tmux. I just don’t know. I’ve run arch linux and never ran into significant problems, I don’t know if the overhead is worth it.

Thanks for the great explanation!

What benefit does it have instead of getting a dynamic DNS entry and port forwarding on your internet connection?

Great read, thanks! That’s what many people of the „I’ve got nothing to hide“ crowd don’t understand. Now they think it may be relatively irrelevant if this data is collected, but what if we get a new right wing government in the future and you’re - for whatever reason - the target of the oppression? The data doesn’t go away.

Your title is a bit provocative but I feel you. The biggest plus for Linux is also a bit of a negative: there are so many different ways to do things. There are multiple file managers for example, that all behave differently in some ways. So at the beginning it can be frustrating at times to figure out how things work and how to accomplish your goal.
