I totally agree that PIA is owned by a horrible company and is not exactly the greatest VPN but its port forwarding is crucial if you have any intention on staying compliant with private torrent community rules.(you must be connectable). Tell me of another VPN provider that provides this for a good price? Also, self hosting a vpn is the best idea except for if you are torrenting copyrighted material on it; don’t try that on any vps providers.
Fedora SilverBlue is pretty amazing and stable. Be sure to use flatpaks. Itd an immutable distro so there are some differences in usage. I layer a couple rpms over the base os but other than that its all flatpaks. I love it. I usrd to use regular fedora workstation and before that popos which i also love. Gnome is the way to go… If you like windows style use dash to panel ext and arcmenu and desktop icons ng ext. Nobara is alsp a solid choice if you specifically like to game. You can game on all distros tho. But nobara is super sexy option. Popos is great too. My recommemdation is fedora silverblue.
