  • I just switched to Debian this week after using Ubuntu for a very long time. I get it, Ubuntu is made by a for profit company but it has a lot working by default and replacing those in Debian takes precious time.

    Terminal transparency, NVIDIA driver support, permanent dock, pretty disk encryption unlocking screen, many gnome tweaks (minimize/maximize), non-free and contrib apt repos, and probably many more are in Ubuntu but not Debian by default. Ubuntu looks a bit prettier. The installer is way less intuitive in Debian too, to me, and looks ugly.

    But hey at least I can sleep at night 😎






  • Downvotes are for your attitude on privacy.

    VPNs are not a tool for piracy, they are a tool for privacy. Everyone should have a VPN like Mullvad/Proton or use Tor/I2P if they don’t want their private Internet searches uploaded to the US government to be scanned and scrutinized at will, and possibly sold and publicized, even criminalized. That goes for non Americans too.

    Debrid is not a private solution. Privacy is expensive and inconvenient. Your ISP is the least of your worries. You absolutely should be paying for Debrid anonymously and using a VPN in front if you’re doing anything illegal, so then what’s the point? Downloading copyrighted material is illegal as well.

    Not blaming you though, Debrid is being very, very disingenuous in its marketing.

    They probably get legal disclosure requests daily. You are surely on an NSA shortlist of some kind.
