galliumos-distro VS nextdns

I literally did some web dev work on my Samsung Chromebook Series 5 550 (released 2012) last week. It's running linux[1] at this point (since it's EOL), and is a little slow, but it's still perfectly functional for running vscode and a local webserver. (As others have pointed out, browsing the reset of the bloated web is a pain, though)

[On Github](https://github.com/GalliumOS/galliumos-distro/issues/379) it is suggested to use [script](https://github.com/eupnea-linux/audio-scripts) which downloads the native Chrome OS and extract from there missing binaries. Why those are not opon sourced?

What exact model HTPC do you have? I found this so far.... https://galliumos.org/

Isn't that project mostly dead? Last release years ago, tons of people having trouble on Reddit... Also, https://github.com/GalliumOS/galliumos-distro/issues/631

Either way, do not use GalliumOS.

I apologise in advance; I have no idea what is causing this issue with your Chromebook. I had hoped I could be of assistance, but I am unable to. I hope that whatever issue you were having with your Chromebook has been resolved. If you want to install Linux on your Chromebook, try GalliumOS

Install RW Legacy Boot and load up a full Linux distro and just use your laptop like a Linux laptop. https://mrchromebox.tech/#home and https://galliumos.org/...getting way more janky and complicated now...

Block 45.76.93.104 and 2001:19f0:6c00:1b0e:5400:4ff:fecd:7828 at the firewall if possible.

Ensure that DNS-over-HTTP (DoH) is enabled where it can be.

Set upstream DNS servers that block malware, such as 1.1.1.2 or NextDNS

Delete "fritz.box" from the domain search list in DNS settings.

Educate your parents to be cautious about directly typing domain names or searching from the OmniBox.

I've tried hosted Pi-Hole and AdGuard Home. They are good as long as I'm around to fix stuffs. Then I tested something which can be global (home) and also for individual devices -- Control-D, NextDNS, and Adguard DNS. All of them works pretty well. If I really have to choose, then it would be in the order of NextDNS > Control-D > AdGuard DNS. Affiliated with none, and have decided to subscribe to all three to further test them for this year.

Okay but NextDNS' own homepage says it "blocks ads and trackers on websites and in apps" - https://nextdns.io

I first used Safari on Windows around 2006. Put me off forever.

You just need Firefox and the extensions that mean ads are never seen.

That said, take a look at https://nextdns.io

just run snort and get nextdns.io account and use those DNS servers to control your DNS.
