Awesome, thanks for the explanation! I’d been put off Bazzite and other immutable distros because I had seen threads saying you basically needed flatpak for everything, but it sounds like that’s not true.
I don’t need a project at the moment but I will give this a go once I am ready for one!
How does Bazzite fare when I want to do something a bit different. Install docker, Python, PHP, sqlite, etc. I’d normally just install them, but does this work for Bazzite and other atomic/immutable distros?
DNS is when your browser asks where to find a website. You enter Lemmy.One in your browser, and your browser asks the DNS resolver the address of the computer the website is hosted on.
Most people will use their internet company’s DNS, and it sounds like France ordered these companies to block some illegal streaming sites by having the DNS server point to a page saying it’s blocked instead of to the website server.
More technical users changed their settings to get DNS from google, Cloudflare, etc instead of the internet company, so now France is going to make those companies block the sites too.

Lucky for me I don’t have any Nvidia so things sail a bit smoother.
Thanks for all the advice 🙂
