    I just grabbed a 9060XT open box deal without thinking about driver support, I’m using Mint 22.1 as well. YMMV but I can’t get any kernel besides 6.8 to boot, not even the Mint supported 6.11 HWE. Video output works but the drivers don’t load and even scrolling down a webpage gives me screen tearing. I did get a more recent Mesa version with the kisak ppa but it hasn’t helped. Can’t even go above 60Hz refresh rate.

    I tried Ubuntu 25.04 on a LiveUSB and it’s basically plug and play and might have even automatically switched to the 144Hz monitor refresh rate.

    I don’t have a whole lot of time for getting a new distro set up right now. I will wait until Mint 22.2 (coming soon? with a newer kernel hopefully) and see how that goes.

    The Android private DNS setting is just for a DNS-over-TLS resolver. The only thing about it that’s private is your queries are encrypted en route to the server (traditonal DNS is cleartext). There’s no filtering or blocking.

    Some Android versions also have a hard coded DNS server set to Google, which based on my tinkering uses DNS-over-HTTPS. Not only is it annoying but I find it awfully insecure - even if you think you have stuff locked down it might just not be. I fixed that issue by blocking all DNS-over-HTTPS servers in my router, and also have all outgoing requests to port 53 redirected to my local resolvers (Pihole + Unbound).

    “Better than a VPN” but it looks more like some decentralised social and content network. So not a replacement or alternative to a VPN in any way. It just preys on the people who already bought the “VPNs make you private online” marketing.

    Looks like a silicon valley VC cash grab.
