You can also start to drag, hit alt+tab, and then drop in another window which is how I normally do it.

For 2 that’s neat to have, but how do you send the clipboard or something thats not in a file manager?

I find it really buggy, it often loses connection and won’t connect to multiple devices at once.

Also how is speech to text AI? It has existed for decades, obviously a lot better now but I don’t think I’d consider it “AI”

There’s a ton of added friction when doing things outside the basic ‘install Flatpak app’. Security generally comes at the price of being difficult to use.

For new users it also means virtually every guide or there on fixing an issue or installing extra software won’t apply.

It’s different for the average person, they don’t usually know about alternatives and are fine paying for software from a company like MS.

who the heck buys a “perpetual” license for a Microsoft product

Office used to always be a perpetual license, so nearly average person that needed an office suite bought one.

Well the reason undervalued auctions exist is usually because they’re hard to find, so with AI doing all the work those won’t exist anymore.

AI can’t even answer basic questions correctly most of the time or handle basic searches for products, how on earth is it supposed to buy something?

Nice, narrowing it down!

Next thing I would check is your configured DNS servers on the desktop, it needs to have only the pihole IP, if it has any other servers configured that is likely the issue.

Also worth pinging the pihole IP next time it’s not working, to check if it’s actually a networking issue instead of a DNS issue.

I don’t think it’s a problem with PiHole realistically, it sounds more like for some reason your DNS requests are not getting to PiHole.

So I would start with checking if the request is reaching PiHole.

Next time it breaks, before restarting networkmanager, go check the pihole requests log and see if your DNS queries are even showing up there.

If they are, what does pihole show it’s returning for the query, is it the correct IP?

If that’s working properly then I would check if you can ping the server by IP directly, make sure that connection is working.
