  • I haven’t watched the video yet, but it’s generally not worth the hassle of setting up mutual TLS if you’re already using a peer-to-peer VPN like Tailscale, as the VPN software is already doing mutual authentication.

    Edit: A peer-to-peer VPN (or mesh VPN) is one where two systems that are connected to the VPN can directly communicate with each other, instead of needing to go through a central server as with something like OpenVPN. With Tailscale or Wireguard, the peers need each other’s public keys to communicate.

    Get “live DVDs” for a distro that offers both GNOME and KDE (Fedora is a great one), and see which one you like best. “live” means it’s usable without installing anything, so it’s easy to try out. Get a spare USB stick, install Ventoy on it, copy both ISOs across (a KDE one and a GNOME one), and boot your computer from it to try them out.
