Stop using TeamViewer. If you can’t setup your own secure self hosted remote desktop, then at least use AnyDesk.
I’m not claiming they’re perfect, or that any SaaS RD provider is good, but TeamViewer is right there with LogMeIn as the worst of a bad bunch.
I use both of them everyday. I’m using one of them right now.
Haven’t had that issue.
You’re on Android use NewPipe and it’s forks, personally I prefer Tubular and PipePipe.
Periodically YouTube will break, but both of those forks, as well as new pipe prime, update fairly quickly.
GrayJay is interesting… It has different feel and feature set than newpipe, but it’s worth using. I will say I get more login errors with GrayJay, but closing the app and reopening it resolves them immediately.
All the piped apps will be in f-droid/droidify, you can download GrayJay directly, or just scan the QR to add the repo to a FOSS repo manager.
I believe Tails already supports I2P, you just have to enable it in the terminal and reboot.
I don’t know who this developer is, maybe they are well-known and well regarded.
I just know that for an OS, better to be safe than sorry and go with and established and well respected project such as Tails IMO.
Not trying discourage users from trying it, just that they should be mindful of the risks and adjust their behavior accordingly.
Not everyone has a safety deposit box, or the ability to access a proper and secure off-site storage.
And if you’re just keeping those in your house, then fire, flood, and other incidents can destroy all copies at once.
Nah, I’m with you, except I use BitWarden.
There are somethings either worth paying someone else to host, or where you trust a 3rd party more than you’re own setup. I realize other users may feel different, but ultimately it’s a judgement call
BW has been a pretty great opensource company, and it’s worth my $10/yr for premium.
Okay … All of that could be true, and then some, and it still wouldn’t give the DMCA any legal jurisdiction in Germany, or Mexico, or anywhere else that isn’t America…
Is this thread about some moral invective? Or is it about the DMCA?
I’m sorry, is this about Independence Day? Or the DMCA?
DMCA is an American law with American jurisdiction.
TBF I’ve never configured an Arch system from scratch, so maybe it’s me that’s missing out.
The thing about Fedora that got me to stop switching, was that it just felt more adult then the various and fashionable Ubuntu based distros, or any other well regarded distro I used over the years. The right mix of stability and new features/support, pretty much out of the box.
Also, after tweaking Gnome a little bit for a more Windows 10 dock/bar style launcher/menu, it’s been perfect for me. Think I’ve been rolling with it since 38 now.
Anyways, best of luck with your new box.
Do whatever works best for you.
I will say that after years and years of regularly switching workstation and laptop distros for a variety of reasons, after finally getting Fedora a shake, I’m done. I’ve installed it on both my primary laptop and desktops and can’t imagine switching again.
But I am still sticking with Debian as my primary server base.
Oh, just FYI I don’t game, so if there are some HDR features for gaming you’re hoping for, I can’t speak to that.
Running Fedora with dual HDR monitors just fine, but it’s entirely possible that something is off that I’m not catching. They’re also running off my Nvidia GPU.
I’ll just add that they look the same as when I used to run Win10 on the same box.
NewPipe clients work fine, as long as they’re updated.
I use PipePipe and Tubular regularly, and both devs are pretty good about pushing out updates quickly when YT breaks.
I think the real question is, what do you want to repurpose it for?
Because the answer to your question, is yes, it is usable, but whether or not it’s capable of what you want to use it for, we can’t say without more information.
Linux installation appears to be possible. This is a wiki to an based distro, but you might want to look for something a bit more user friendly if you’re not comfortable with Arch.

Just remember, it’s a fairly low spec machine. Think of it like a Raspberry Pi with a keyboard and monitor built in, in terms of what you can hope to run on it.
Others may have better, or fancier solutions, but I’m a fan VPN -> Home Network -> VNC over SSH/TLS for Linux boxes, and RDP for Windows.
Again, none of VNC or RDP ports or services are ever exposed externally, and even on the LAN, they require authentication and use secure tunnels.
Full disclosure, I haven’t used RDP in a while and I don’t know what version of SSL/TLS it comes with anymore.
I know their are self-hosted AnyDesk style options and maybe they’re better than my approach, but I’ve never used them so I can’t really speak on that.
