I installed Cachy on a GTX980 PC, but had to use nomodeset, so if you wanna install some distros that are using incompatible drivers in the live ISO give nomodeset a try.

Oh is that why that happens? I just thought Nouveau drivers were incompatible with old Nvidia cards.

If your government knows that the IP belongs to a Tor bridge - how do they not know you connected to a Tor bridge?

Downsides:

• websites will entirely reject your connection in 80% of cases, the rest will throw a captcha at you at every single step
• some websites that require a login will ban your account on creation with a Tor IP
• regardless of whether or not you use bridges or obfuscated nodes your government does absolutely know you are using Tor, lol, you are connecting to Tor bridges, oppressive governments especially are monitoring them 24/7 and blocking new ones as they pop up
• there’s a risk that the node you connected to is literally ran by your government (or someone else malicious)

I appreciate you running a node yourself and potentially helping some people at least get some connection when no other alternative works, but don’t downplay the severity of proper state surveillance.
