There are apparently OpenVPN profile you can import, but as I said in my earlier comment - I just couldn’t get it to work (connection attempts would just time out).

I still have like ~18 months of PIA left (joined under a 100% cashback offer), but will likely switch to Proton or Mullvad afterwards - as they both seem to work better under Linux from what I’ve read.

I’m sure over time I’ll tinker more under the hood over time, but for now - I’m just trying to ease myself into Linux with pre-configured installers when particular apps aren’t available through the Cachy Package Manager.

30-odd years of Windows usage has dulled my IT skills!

I barely know what I’m looking at! 😅

Pretty sure I tried poking around that file on Bazzite also to see if I could locate the RPM to try and do a manual terminal install - but gave up after a few minutes.

Sample size of 1, here.

Bazzite was my initial entry-point into Linux, but I bounced off it within 48 hours as its immutable nature made it impossible for me to install the native PIA VPN client and for the life of me I couldn’t get the OpenVPN to play nice.

Currently on CachyOS, and seems to run just fine - giving an end user just enough rope 😅

Plus it’s Arch underneath the hood too, so I can still cheekily say that I run Arch!

ETA: I wonder if/how long I would count as part of this Bazzite cohort?

My personal use devices are all some variation of Pingu (eg. iPingu, Pingtendo etc.), and my NAS devices are based off Pokémon puns (Storlax and Archivysaur currently).

My wife on the other hand is boring, so her’s are just system default.
