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.

No. The average user would use NetworkManager GUI integrated into DE.
Network Manager doesn't support DOH.
The average user barely know what is DNS, so DoH...
Android supports DoT, and it can be easily configured by the user. They call it 'Private DNS' though, in order to not confuse users with terminology like 'DNS-over-TLS'. Also most browsers support DoH, Chromium just calls it 'Secure DNS', again, in order not to confuse users. NetworkManager could definitely implement DNSCrypt, DoT and DoH, maybe even DoQ and just call it 'Encrypted DNS' and add a toggle to choose the protocol.
