I think I will go for OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. But Kubuntu is also nice to keep in mind

Well, their "customisation" of Gnome with that ugly bar on the left side is still ugly as hell.

And GCHQ isn't also really trustworthy, with them being part of 5 Eyes

I've wanted to switch to OpenSUSE for quite some time now from Fedora for the same reason. Should really do it now

Yes because I've needed a new smartphone urgently and the Assholes at MediaMarkt forced me to buy one with "preapplied" screen protector. Otherwise they wouldn't have any in stock.

A really awesome deal for a 30€ upcharge on the already expensive unit price

That's why I only buy Deuter Backpacks. Look hideous, are expensive, but don't fuck up my back and are practical and 100% reliable

The Swiss make their own Tobleronestyle chocolate since Mondelez has crappy ingredients and produces in Slovakia. It's way better and cheaper

So you're moving Goalposts again?
Nobody was talking about a VPN for accessing your private home or company network. Even you were talking about a commercial VPN Providers...

You're really insufferable

This is one of the top 10 dumbest statements I've ever seen on the internet and shows a total and complete lack of understanding what a VPN is, and what it does.

Well then explain me why I would need a VPN in the year 2025 with encrypted connections and HSTS being the norm

There are currently 2-3 countries where torrenting IP isn't illegal. Unless you have a VPN in one of these countries, there are no conditions where its "allowed," because it's entirely illegal. Even if it's not expressly outlined in a services TOS it's still illegal, and therefore not allowed. Even if they expressly permit it, it's still illegal, and therefore not allowed.

It's illegal, but in practice not enforceable if you hide between a VPN in another jurisdiction.
So in practice you can do it and nobody gives a shit.

People abuse it

My Man, unless you buy all the bullshit that YouTubers claim VPNs do, the only reason to get one is to torrent

There are no services available to you that allow you indiscriminately to torrent illegal content. They simply don't exist.

Yes, most VPNs will allow you to do that just fine. And they exist for years.
