From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Quad9 is a non-logger.

Whether the DNS service logs or not doesn't really matter that much since your ISP can still log all your DNS requests and create an advertising profile based on them. DNS is both unencrypted and unauthenticated by default, so not only can your ISP see the requests, but they can also modify the responses.
If you want privacy, you really need to use DNS-over-HTTPS or DNS-over-TCP. The easiest way to do that is run AdGuard Home. It runs well on a Raspberry Pi or similar single-board computer. Your devices will still use regular DNS to the AdGuard Home server, but by default it uses DoH for its outbound requests.
Another solution is to use something like wireguard tunnel, where all your traffic is routed through the tunnel.
This also hides your DNS requests from anyone whose not allowed to and hasn't access to your private key/wg0 configuration.
This is new to me but looks interesting. It looks like their transparency report hasn’t been updated since Q1 2023, though, where it previously shows updates for every year. Is that a concern?
I personally wouldn't be concerned at all. They have a good track record.
