And, chelsea manning. I'd love to see more whistleblowers in the world. That's the kind of mass sousveillance we need!

We can't recommend Arch to beginners. The maintenance is too high.

But yes, the support on rolling distros is great.

In any case, I'm surprised all the issues OP gets are from support for a fan? Something is terribly wrong here. I'd rather switch to any other fan (they're cheap!) and blame the manufacturer. Move along.

For windows9x UI there are retro themes (e.g. xfce4 as DE can be themed with https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95 ). For a distro, try zorin os maybe? Is focused on giving a modern windows-like UI and feel. In any case, my recommendation goes to debian or mint.

Desktop environments are tightly coupled to distros. At work, I got ubuntu. Got root, installed kde plasma. It works, but only because ubuntu is huge and has a "meta package", and if you're experienced enough not to switch the login to sddm, is all good. But even so, this goes to show that even if you can build your own system by swapping parts, this doesn't mean is simple. Most linux users simply take a distro and don't wander too far from it...

Or euros

It's "also" interesting that since the armed answer from Israel after the terror brought upon by Hamas, many people expressed concern and views like what I just said. And, the "interesting" part, is that more than half of the people condemned as anti-Semitic (e.g. losing jobs, or with criminal records for what they said publicly) are actually ...Jews

Try taking a deep breath before your next witch-hunts. Put your emotions aside, we are all humans and deserve some basic needs and rights not to be alienated. That includes anyone, regardless of ethnicity, religion, political alignment, or ...imaginary lines on a map (a.k.a. borders.)

Disroot.org

frp, or just anything on awesome-tunnel at GitHub list

Rclone.org is poetry then ;)

It would be great if we could have a YAML config within the settings for all custom (or not) redirects. And if such lists were synced from some repo and then only locally sorted or trimmed by ..ping, for example. Something like:

• source site RegEx to match:
  • redirect to this instance
  • or here's another one, maybe even with a different alternative frontend.

Apache Guacamole comes to mind, it gives you access to all desktop apps on a headless server. Granted, you may not want to install desktop apps. But I think it's smart to offload development of, say, music players to other projects instead of reinventing each and every wheel.. (Also, there's music streaming and all sort of web apps already. So I don't know what's the usecase really. But that's just me tho)

Edit: kudos on your project. Looks neat!!!!

My go-to solution for documentaries is mvgroup.org good luck!

For code, being old is not always bad. Take for example some Unix commands, like copying files between servers using the ssh protocol. That hasn't changed in 50 or more years. So, if there're API endpoints in both apps, setting a cronjob would let you monitor every minute if you're streaming, and then do the switch. Or, even better, you may be able to have a hook/ trigger design pattern. Can you link to the scripts? Have you tested them at all?

Maybe check proxmox? It's a debian distro for VMs.
