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.

Just make sure you have port 53 and 80 open. I recently had some problems myself trying to get Pi-Hole up and running. I already had dnsmasq taking up port 53 for a wifi hotspot, which conflicts with Pi-Hole's own DNS. Aside from that, hosting any websites can also conflict with Pi-Hole's frontend.
If you aren't using your Pi 3 for anything yet then I already assume this shouldn't be a problem though.
Good luck and have fun setting up your Pi-Hole!
I have like 4 million domains in my blocklist and I have yet to encounter any issues or hear any complaints from my roommate.
You'll have to whitelist some Microsoft domains if you want to get achievements working for games that use a Microsoft account.
I've seen it cause issues when you try and use Google Analytics console. You can add white list entries to groups and then add devices to that group. Works well.
Depending on how you configure it you can run into issues with sites and apps that use trackers.
Nope, no issues.
I can’t think of any problems I’ve faced in over 3 years. I have an app on my phone that I can use to temporarily disable my Pi-hole if I need to do some testing, but I don’t know if I’ve ever had a situation where the Pi-hole was the source of a problem. Definitely not a maintenance headache. I run an update on it every now and then, but only because I see a notification that there is one, not because there’s something going wrong.
I'm using a bunch of blocklists, and the only downside I've experienced is Teams being blocked.
Kind of problematic when you look for a job ><
But once you whitelist it, no problem
