I suggest to use sftp/ssh with rsync instead. Much more secure then FTP.

To add to this. Take a look at the fog server project. It allows you to PXE boot and pull and push images in a automated way.

Personally I am using rocky Linux. I wonder how the 2 compare nowadays

Use I2P guys. The more the better. It is Foss and is 100 times better then any VPN. It is only a bit slower sometimes.

lol. I am the exact same. Trying to work around stuff and bypassing just about anything thought me how most things work.

i partially agree here. Comparing something like Nix vs Gentoo is like comparing cars and plains. sure their both vehicles but that's about the it.

Arch linux? :) joke aside perhaps something with btrfs support is handy. you can easily rollback if something breaks. For parental control don't give the kid sudo/root. other then that restricting websites and stuff is more easily done on a firewall outside of the kid its control.

Almost any of the larger distros will suffice i think. Personally a fan of opensuse tumbleweed which has btrfs support out of the box. use a DE like kde/gnome and i think you have a very solid start

IPA beer is good for sure. freeIPA is a central way to manage Linux devices. manage users ssh keys and even limiting sudo commands with sudo rules. and some other things. It can not do everything active directory does but their sure are a load of similarities.

X11 is very old and all code has been glued on over the years. It is one big spaghetti mess. Very hard to work on and fix bugs. Wayland is much more modular and future proof.

Sudo apt install Firefox

Ubuntu then installs the snap version.

For me it is partially the way canonical pushes snaps and forces it on to users. More so they are slow and the proprietary back end is a huge downside. Some snaps are know broken and cause more harm then good like the steam snap for example. Steam actively discourages users from even using it.
