From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm bored and want to practice my Rust skills. I am the creator of open-tv. If you have any idea for a linux desktop app, even if it seems quite complex, I will take it.

There is an app called Rethink DNS for android. It is a DNS filter by Mozilla guys. It can also show the DNS queries generated through the system. One can block certain apps, exclude certain app from DNS filtering. It has wireguard support, that means can route certain apps through proxy. It has to be the bast app I ever downloaded. Please can you make something like this for Linux.

If anyone knows an existing alternative please comment. (On arch based distro.)
