This used to feel true until Amazon Sidewalk happened.

Lol, no.
Are you using yabridge?
even shamed one user in my team to switch from Windows to Mac …
It's so strange that Windows users don't see how welcoming our communities are.
That's distro choice, no? Debian minimal would also be good for the same purpose, or any other minimal distro, really.
Tiny correction: Fedora uses DNF now, not yum (possibly RHEL too, but I have no experience there)
If I have to have a prime subscription to get the game, it's not free IMO
Otherwise a great idea!
I'm planning on doing this personally, as my setup is a bit complex (Protonvpn doesn't have port forwarding on wireguard supported very well on Linux, so I have some helpers running that make it work). Setting this up each time (and on each computer I want to torrent on) is a bit of a pain. If you do all of your setup and dockerize it, you can just pull the container on each new install/machine (0 setup)
No need to split tunnel. Mullvad has options in the app to allow local networking. Just have to enable it.
Qbittorrent is actually one of the few clients that has this feature, one of the reasons it’s so widely recommended.
Deluge can also do this.
Sidewalk is (to my knowledge) only used by Amazon devices.
My point was more that Amazon advertised a system where if you didn't have internet, don't worry, you can use a neighbours. The current system is all opt in. The issue is that these major companies have never minded hiding other technology or its uses from the end user. We believe we can just block the device from the internet, but it is entirely possible that some of the TV's of today have similar systems to sidewalk (or even just cell connectivity) built right in.
Let's not forget when Google nest security systems sold in 2017 received an OTA update (in 2019) to be able to use voice commands (oops, did we not mention there were microphones in the device you bought?)
I'm not saying everyone needs to slap a tinfoil hat on. I'm just saying that while I also block these devices from the internet, it really feels like any day now things will become more difficult than that (possibly in devices we already own)
