  • what's a lesser know distro that surprised you in a positive way?
    Is Solus less known? If not, then idk, maybe InstantOS. Source: over 1 year ago
  • InstantOs is an `out of this world` distribution based on Arch
    Instant OS is a very polished Arch distribution. It features it's own window manager called InstantWM which is a tiling as well as stacking window manager. I personally like to use vanilla arch but Endeavor and InstantOS are the only Arch based distributions I've liked so far. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Which WM do you use, and why?
    Instantwm is quite cool. Highly recommended https://instantos.io/. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Distro for a few years old cheap laptop
    I think Arch-based distros like arch, arcolinux, archcraft or instantos are suite for your laptop. More over you can use void or gentoo if you are experienced user. Source: over 2 years ago

    Hello, thank you very much for the fast response time! 1) My exact version of linux is InstantOS (arch-based https://instantos.io/). 2) When connecting to that server, I get the following IP: https://i.imgur.com/5xxaGp6.png . 3) Same ting happens when using port 443, just with a different IP, as seen in the screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/TmZ9pL2.png .
