    I installed bluefin on my wife’s laptop, and on a spare laptop, just yesterday 🤭 It really is great.

    I think I’ll be putting it on my desktop PC and keep Aurora on my daily driver Laptop.

    Either way, we’re all winning 😂

    And to add to that, even with vanilla Gnome, you have the option to do what you like via extensions. If you want it to look like a Mac or Windows UI, you can!

    My wife doesn’t care, as long as it works. If I can set up favorites/shortcuts to the stuff she needs access to, she’s golden.

    I’m curious about your choice of Gnome for your wife, though. If she’s hopeless with computers, why give her a less (imho) intuitive DE to play with?

    It’s like using a chromebook, and the less there is to click on, the better.

    Any software she already uses would be available as a flatpak, so even updating is easier vs windows.



  • Just an FYI:

    "AdGuard servers are located in Frankfurt, Germany, and the apps do not communicate to any servers in Russia. This was a deliberate decision to keep our servers (as well as the company itself) in a different jurisdiction. Even among AdGuard DNS servers, which are supposed to be located all over the world, we don’t have any in Russia. With how things are developing, we may soon have no office there either, or have a considerably smaller one. To reiterate:

    • AdGuard apps do not connect to any servers in Russia.
    • AdGuard DNS has no servers in Russia.
    • AdGuard VPN also has no servers in Russia. The one that’s said to be in Moscow actually uses some IP address magic to present itself so, but is actually located in the Netherlands.

    Secondly, we do not condone what’s going on in Ukraine and we have expressed our opinion on this earlier. Filters maintainers, support team members, QA, developers — the war has changed lives of many people that are very important to AdGuard as a company and to me personally. Our only desire is for it to stop as soon as possible." SOURCE

    The Adguard team has been among the most trustworthy in the privacy space, and their self-hosted, and local-first services shouldn’t be casually cast aside so quickly.
