If you use docker with portainer (for the GUI), you can set up the gluetun container with your protonvpn account and run all your other containers through that as their network. It’s as simple as adding

network_mode: service:gluetun

to your stack configuration for each container.

Like others have said, running a DE with remote capabilities will be a lot of overhead.

If you set up portainer and watchtower using ssh, you can pretty much just manage everything from portainer while watchtower makes sure that portainer and the rest of your containers stay updated. It’s a very hands-off operation, especially if you set up auto updates on top of that for the pi OS. You’ll probably just have to ssh in periodically to run a system upgrade and maybe restart to update the kernel.

Cups takes some playing with to get right but once you have it setup and saved, the thing should work whenever

Why do you need a DE for your server?

My needs are for my os to be my toy

Sweet. Yeah I’m the same way. I will just not watch YouTube on my phone if I can’t have an ad free experience

Very strange. Well I hope you can get it figured out !

Are you using the revanced manager to patch the apk?

That’s so strange! I just updated mine within the last couple of days and it works just fine

Because I do like the wallet function. I just don’t need it. But I greatly prefer an ad free life to the convenience of wallet.

If this stops revanced from working it will be my push to install grapheneos. I don’t need the wallet function really.

Because canonical, who make ubuntu, also make snap. So it gets shoved down your throat. This is why I don’t use Ubuntu.

Nice! Good luck!

How do you like Manjaro? I am on normal arch with kde and I love it. Manjaro’s own repos scare me.

I disagree that the UI/DE/WM is a good way to evaluate a distro. One could make any distro look and feel like any other.

In my opinion one should look primarily at three factors:

1. Package manager
2. Release type
3. Stability

From there just choose either Debian or Arch and install the UI you want with the DE/WM

Pieces of shit devices

(Point of Sale, jokes aside. But they often are POS as well.)

You know that tab that opens sometimes when you update Firefox? The welcome to Firefox or what’s new, whatever it is? If I remember correctly, there are sometimes ads for mozilla vpn on that tab. But you, like me, might just close that tab without ever looking at its contents

What do you mean by “apt/pacman”? Which one are you using?

Lmao alright fair play

I disagree. It just marks the break between two vowel sounds. In English we just happen to write it down when necessary. French does this too, but in the opposite direction. As a general rule, one does not pronounce the last consonant of a word except in instances where two vowel sounds meet. In these cases, the first word’s consonant links into the second word
