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.

I'm using AdGuard, which is pretty similar. I had issues with my Sonos speakers. The devices couldn't find the speakers until I set a few servers on the whitelist.
Apart from that, all's good.
Good, Sonos is shit anyway.
Why would a speaker even need an app in order to be configured when a webapp should be fine? And why would that app need GPS location data in order to do so? It is on my network, it should just find the devices on my network. I don't need to be able to access it when I am on the other side of the world. It is a speaker.
And most importantly, why would the app on the computer have LESS functionality than the mobile app?
Sonos is the embodiment of enshittification.
Any alternatives you could suggest?
The speaker I have sounds great, but I agree the software is utter garbage.
