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.

How do I enable DNS over HTTPS or DNS over TLS for all connections in NetworkManager in Debian 12?
It is easy to configure custom DNS servers for all connections via a new .conf file in /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d with a servers=8.8.8.8 entry in the [global-dns-domain-*] section.
How can I configure NetworkManager to use DNS over HTTPS or DNS over TLS via a conf file?
NetworkManager doesn't support DoH, DoT or other recent protocols like DoQ and DoH3. You'll need to set up a local DNS resolver / proxy which can handle those protocols. You could use dnsproxy for this. Once you set it up, you can just use "127.0.0.1" as your DNS server in NetworkManager.
Btw, if possible I'd recommend sticking to DoH3 (DNS-over-HTTP/3) or DoQ (DNS-over-QUIC) - they perform better than DoT and vanilla DoH, and are more reliable as well.
what is hyprland
why do ppl use the CLI for things like making and moving files? i find the GUI easier and faster as well as less prone to mistakes
what is wayland and xorg, and why does everyone argue about them
I have windows PC with 6 drives, mostly SSD and on HDD that I assume are all NTFS. Two of the drives are nvme(?) attached to the mobo, and I only have one mobo with nvme slots. I have a number of older boards that top out at SATA connections.
If I install Linux Mint, can I format one nvme drive with whatever the current preferred linux formatting is, install Mint, and move the files from the other drives around as I format each one?
Or do I need to move all the data I want to keep to SATA drives, put them in a different windows box, and then copy them over using a network connection?
It's been a while and I'm guessing my lack of finding an answer means linux still doesn't work with NTFS enough to do what I'm thinking of.
It depends on exactly how you plan to do things. The Linux kernel supports reading NTFS but not writing to it. I’m not sure exactly how full your drives are, but you might be able to consolidate some before installing Linux.
There are a couple utilities that let your mount an NTFS file system for read & write, but I wouldn’t trust them for important data.
Edit: This is outdated as of like 2021. Don’t listen to me
Question about moving from Ubuntu to Debian - Package updates and security updates...
On Ubuntu, I seem to get notifications almost every week about new package updates. (Through the apt UI)
On Debian, I don't see this.
I can run apt update and apt upgrade
On Ubuntu, I see this pull a bunch of package data from various package repo URLs.
On Debian, I only see this pulling package data from two or three repo URLs at debian.org
Mainly I am concerned about security updates and bug fixes. Do I need to manually add other repo sources to the apt config files? Or does debian update those repos regularly?
