  • Well, Windows 7 and 10 were pretty good, but Windows 11…

    My girlfriend bought a brand new laptop. Everything except Nvidia drivers worked out of the box. Nvidia also installed just fine. But on Windows 11 keyboard lights just refused to work and she never figured out how to solve that… Also vpns just randomly break on Windows while working perfectly fine with Fedora.

    I myself have had a different experience with Linux. I’ve always loved tinkering around so I used to constantly break stuff. That’s why I was quite shocked to find out Linux worked out so well for my non tech-savvy gf. But apparently for normal everyday use Linux has become a solid, or even a better alternative to Windows.














  • Thanks! SOCKS5 proxy is a good option, I don’t know why I didn’t think of it from the very beginning…

    My goal is to bypass local censorship on university computers that don’t allow running any executables except those provided by the administrator. And I’m trying to help professors who aren’t particularly tech-savvy, so a webproxy is actually still a better option.

    A browser inside a docker is a very viable solution, however my VPS is super small, so I don’t have resources for that unfortunately.
