A while ago I installed Arch on my new laptop, as an alternative to windows. I managed to get everything i needed to work on arch work with the exception of some programs that do have debian support. So, I deleted windows from my old desktop, and I am installing Debian on that. In other words I will now be daily driving Arch and Debian on two different computers. I have escaped the windows hell.

    not dual booting, they are running on completely different computers. But my main problem is a program called Hamachi not working correctly. I use it for “lan”-gaming with friends on games with dead servers.

      Hamachi could be replaced with your own WireGuard VPN server, just your friends would have to set up their clients.

        Tailscale could also work, if they’re looking for something with a little less setup difficulty. I haven’t used it myself as I’m happy to tinker with WireGuard, but it’s supposed to be quite easy to get going and I think the free tier isn’t too restrictive.

          I was using Winamp right up until I made the switch to Linux last year.

          Fortunately, Audacious can use Winamp skins, too, so I’ve still got that Winamp 2.x classic look going.
