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.

You can do that with fedora Atomic tho, just enable it, also why install a VPN? Why you can't use OpenVPN?
I can, actually, but I'd rather use WireGuard for the improved throughput. There's no "enabling" Private Internet Access's client, though, because it's a self-executing tarball and install script, and that's the only way to access their WG endpoints.
They have a manual connection client through the command line, but that hasn't been updated in over two years, and I don't feel comfortable using it.
