I finally got myself a pihole up and running. Yeah and the regular stuff.. ditched reddit, got protonmail and trying to move my kids to using popos.
What's your setup with your kids? Just got my son a used hp laptop bc I learned the hard way he needed java Minecraft (not available on iPad) to connect to the server I built for him. Used a friend's employee f&f discount for Win11 seat.
Now that it's here, I kinda want to hook him up with some of my strategy, management, sim, etc games from Steam.
No idea how people do this. He's in grade school.
Well, my older one was on raspberry os for a while, because she just needed a web for school stuff, but I couldn't get movie streaming working, and she was starting with video projects the SD wasn't enough so I ended up getting her a laptop without pre-installed os and set it up with Fedora, and to date no serious problems.
The younger one has my old Ryzen 1700 PC, and tried Fedora first and couldn't get his games (Roblox or Fortnite) to work, but did get Steam to work.. So without much investigation I just tried another distro based off Debian, and gave a try to popos. Same thing. Reading about it, it's deliberate these developers don't want their games working on Linux.
So I've temporarily swapped his ssd with a windows 10 setup until I can get him to give up these games. I guess age will do it :(
