  • Honestly? Surface Pro tablets. I have an OG 1st gen one with Ubuntu on it with the Surface kernel and it works fantastic! Just make sure you go with the vanilla Gnome desktop and not Ubuntu’s modified version and a better on screen keyboard extension for best results. The default OSK is shit. KDE Plasma is also good but I feel it lacks in stylus support and decent on screen keyboard.





  • For new Linux users, the go to is usually Linux Mint (The Ubuntu based one). But I also like to recommend Kubuntu. You can’t go wrong with these two. They’re hassle free, stable and when vulnerabilities are announced, they’re practically never affected because they use slightly older and tried and tested software versions.

    Unfortunately, using the command line is something you will have to learn. But as far as Proton VPN goes, you just have to copy and paste. It’s a no brainer. I use all their products on Linux and it works well.









  • It’s mainly a developer tool based on Git, a version control system. You know how to can go back to a previous version of a document in Google Docs for example? It’s kinda like that, but more powerful.

    Github adds a whole layer around Git with issue tracking and other project management tools, as well as automation tools to name a few.

    It’s mostly used to track progress and change history of source code. So when you clone a Github repo to your local machine, you essentially get a copy of the files and their entire change history along with it.

    So yes, you might need to compile the source code, depending on the programming language used.
