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.

Pi-hole or AdGuard for home dns-based blocking? (lemm.ee)

Hey folks, I just realized my pihole server, running on a Ras Pi 3 needs to be rebuilt from scratch. I've seen many mentions of AdGuard DNS here though. What's your thinking on which is better now?

We're a small family, looking for a basic ad blocking, set it and forget it, solution.

EDIT: I'd prefer the software be open source.

They both do about the same thing, so whichever one you like the interface on better.

I went from pihole to adguard home for the native DoH/DoT, but it had a broken upgrade not too long ago that prevented it from running.
