instead of 6. Select "Use the following DNS server addresses" and enter the preferred DNS server addresses for the provider you want to use (e.g. Google's DNS servers are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, Cloudflare's are 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1, and OpenDNS's are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220).
use 6. Select "Use the following DNS server addresses" and enter the preferred DNS server addresses for the provider [you want to use](#list-of-dns-providers) replace all of them

Various suggestions.
Also it might be a good idea to mention /etc/crypttab and how it's used to help facilitate mounting LUKS protected file systems at boot. Maybe even LVM since it's sometimes better to have one LUKS block device holding a LVM for multiple file systems.

| The specific steps to change the DNS server in Linux depend on the distribution you are using. For most distributions, you can change the DNS server by editing the `/etc/resolv.conf` file and adding the preferred DNS server addresses for the provider you want to use (e.g. Google's DNS servers are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, Cloudflare's are 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1, and OpenDNS's are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220). |

Editing /etc/resolv.conf isn't advisable on distros using the NetworkManager or systemd-resolved service as both will modify /etc/resolv.conf themselves.
Use the GUI, or nmcli or resolvectl if you know what you are doing. It might be wise to edit/add files in /etc/netplan/ or /etc/network/interfaces.d/ depending on what's available.

systemd-resolved can be configured by hand or via netplan.

Regarding what was asked in the development channel, it's a hard answer to ask on what's the most terse way to explain how to change the DNS that covers all the distros. We probably want people to stay within the GUI, so we could mention the few places where to find the settings in a couple common DEs (KDE, Gnome, Mate are a few that come to mind) and as a last resort suggest finding what network manager their system is using then use that to modify DNS.

Though for desktop geared distros, it's almost always going to be NetworkManager that handles networking.
