    [SOLVED] do vpns use end to end encryption?

    The VPN can't because the data is encrypted. But if you're a hacker on the other end of the data, then a VPN is pretty useless for the user at the other end.

    [SOLVED] Please help me! Installing OS to an old pc

    Can I advice you to install a lightweight Linux instead? It will have recent support, no amount of Spyware like Vista onwards Windows, consumes fewer space and does pretty much everything XP does, with support for newer software packages.

    Question what will be the best linux distro for me?

    If you're looking for a lightweight distro, try MX Linux 21. Latest stable Kernel, SystemD free and supports most older systems out of the box. I have installed it on my Dad's and brother's PC which have like 18-20-year-old hardware (used). Also supports 32-bit version.

    [SOLVED] 1080p @ 60fps YT videos lagging on Linux Mint Cinnamon ?

    Looks like a Driver Issue. try updating drivers with sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade. Also, try it on another Linux distro. Try Ubuntu and Pop OS. If you're not a fan of Debian, then Endeavor, Manjaro or Fedora. Better yet, Get Ventoy and burn all these ISOs at the same time and try them out...

    Discussion Should I try Linux?

    Concern 1: Most distros support most of the hardware. I have tried more than 20 distros now and the only ones that don't support all the hardware out of the box are vanilla Debian and Deepin. And Mint was having WiFi dongle issue on a 20 y/o PC. MX Linux worked fine on that. 19.3, 19.4 and the...

    [SOLVED] VPN Recomendation in the UK/GE

    Can you name the actors? Maybe that would help. I have stumbled across some thriller movies of the same genre. Turned out to be Indian copies of Asian/Hollywood movies. I

    What's a fun hobby that's easy to get into?

    Music. Get a musical instrument and soon you'll realize you're trapped in there. Unless you pick up a guitar where the learning curve is a little steep. I like trying out new stuff but the thought of failing, again and again, keeps me from excelling in it. If you're more persistent than I am, go...
