Idk why people are so passionate about it, cause there is no “Linux” - there is a lot of “Linuxes”.
I mean, what defines Linux? The kernel? The desktop environment? The flexibility?
Cause, dude, in a desktop level linux has many options, some very little smooth (like any window manager you have to configure everything by yourself) and some very smooth (like KDE and Gnome). I risk to say that Gnome and KDE are as smooth as MacOs/Windows.
Applications are kind the same. What applications are we talking about? There is a huge range of possibilities, which includes apps that run only in windows as well as apps that run only in Linux. Surely main stream apps are most designed for Windows, cause they have the majority of market share, however almost always there is an alternative good enough in Linux.
I wish the future of Linux would be our own people don’t blame on projects trying to innovate, like Gnome and KDE does. People on Linux looks like loves to makes things hard or exclusive, but man, we need simple things as well. Simple things on Linux does not “rot” Linux, but make Linux more usable and, as consequence, makes development faster while big techs have to start paying attention to Linux.
The router is not mine… I’ll not change the firmware cause the router is borrowed from the ISP and I must give it back if I change my ISP
I’m trying the power saving mode and hoping that is the issue!
Another guy suggested ping the router from the server for once in a while as well and I think it must “remember” the router about the existence of the server
I’ll definitely take a look at this power saving mode! Thank you!
Also, I would definitely try with your laptop wired instead of wireless if you can.
It’s kinda hard at my setup, cause the router is not close to anywhere I can put my laptop… But I’m looking for some SBC like Raspberry Pi or something to make it connected wired to the router
This ia definitely an issue that Gnome must work with.
However I think I understood the issue. Google is pushing passwordless verification to us, but at the time it’s not supported on Linux.
There are a couple of 2FA to connect into Google’s account, one of them is this passwordless alternative, using a FIDO hardware or a bluetooth device to authenticate me.
When I tried to login with my Google account at a normal browser, such as Firefox, it asks me to connect my device to authenticate me, which I can cancel this operation and select any other 2FA method.
At the Gnome Online Accounts it does not show the popup asking for the device at all, but my hypothesis is that it still waiting for it undefinitely, preventing us to login or select any other 2FA method.
A workaround is disabling Security Device 2FA in your account and using other 2FA methods, like TOPT, SMS and Phone Authorization.
A solution would be implement a timeout on GnomeWebKit aborting the “waiting for authentication” operation and proceeding to select another 2FA method.
This is a issue by Google’s decision to not allowing us select our prefered 2FA anymore.
Well, I found this article saying that theoretically is possible, however not so much. It says that depends on how the other VPN works. They even suggest some workarounds, so take a look
Anyway, have you tried to create another tun/tap service to run both VPN?
