  • It’s possible that Tailscale (SaaS) or Headscale (completely oss and self-hosted) work for you. This is a vpn based on the wireguard protocol with additional magic. While TS will always attempt to create a wireguard tunnel over udp, it can fall back to HTTPS if otherwise the connection cannot be established. If your motivation is to work from a network where only TLS is permitted this could do.

    Tailscale has an Android client. GUI.













  • Debian is fine distro and many people rely on it as strong foundation including the people that build ubuntu and mint. Maybe Debian is the hidden champion.

    When Ubuntu became popular, it had some advantages like reliable release cycles, slightly newer packages, better integration of proprietary drivers. Stuff that was not wanted in Debian stable main at the time.

    Other non-debian-based distros also brought some advantages.

    Personally, I’d love to see Debian as the base distro with Mint, Ubuntu and others building ontop of it. I like my apt update. I just won’t send novices straight to Debian when the derivates have more desktop users.
