From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hey! Ive just got Fedora 39 on my PC. I'm new into Linux, but I liked the way Fedora looks and so on. But as a former windows user, I was glad to use Proton VPN. On windows it just worked well, and my local Broadcaster homepage didn't notice that I was using, Secure Core, via example Switzerland though a server in my country. But now, when I use Proton VPN in fedora, the broadcaster notice that my internet goes via another country, and dosnt let me whatch. I juse the App I found on Flatpak. Is there something I should investigate more , of some easy tweaks to make it work well again?

I've got ProtonVPN set up through wireguard on my system and it works great. Only caveat is that you have to set up multiple profiles if you want different locations, secure core, etc. Not a big deal in my use case, but something to consider.
