Kicked macOS to the Curb and Installed Asahi Fedora Gnome
Most of the switching posts are from frustrated windows users making the jump.

I just installed wire guard VPN and but the config file in the etc/wireguard folder, where it belongs. I would have to include this folder as well if I want to keep my...
