Firefox/Mozilla operated without any of the new additions for nearly the entire history of the internet until this year. If anything, “over”-reacting to the new policies was too weak a reaction. You do you and all, but I’ll agree to very strongly disagree.

Mine is E2EE.

That article says it better than I can in s short post. Firefox’s terms of use/privacy policy went over like a lead balloon last month.

I think it’s incredibly important that people know, with absolute certainty, whether or not the new Mozilla/Firefox privacy policy in any way applies to / covers such a service.

I’m not saying I know the answer- What I’m saying without a concrete, permanently applied answer it’s not even considerable.

Been there. Accepted

To answer your questions though, I suggest the non-Cosmic version of Pop!OS. (and switch to wayland if it’s not the default yet- not sure, I’ve had this install for YEARS) It’s a good blend of “just works” and “up to date enough” to run anything, and I recommend steering well clear of Arch. I’ve been using Linux for a decade and I’ve always found a way to whoopsie it into a broken state. That’s a “me problem” yes, but if I can fudge it up that easily and I have experience using it, I think it’s unsuitable to recommend to anyone.

Most people live in a web browser- does it really matter if the desktop environment isn’t riced enough or isn’t windows-ey enough? That said, it takes actual hackery to make any version of Windows usable these days, so I’ll forgive a distro not being “absolutely elite” for someone’s preferences. Let’s not compare Linux forums to Windows forums, where no-one has ever, I repeat ever received ANY useful advice besides reinstalling their Windows, am I right?

I typed 6 words. Are you alright

Uh

Who’s ready to talk Linux

I love it, may as well try it out- see if you also love it

Frame #2 looks like top- everyone here should try btop!

They’ve gone out of their way to avoid showing the hatch opened. From the pictures they DO have there, it appears the hatch opening area is borderline useless. My question is WHY?

I’m not actually too worried. He surrounds himself with champions.

Does nothing? DOES NOTHING?! He spent the last few years ripping Microsoft a new a@@hole, rendering their operating system meaningless for gamers! …but nice meme

Reality has to BE.

The Verge is an absolute pile of flaming dog shit, but a broken clock is right twice a day.

I hope that normal people will now realize how full of sh*t he is. They won’t, but DON’T TAKE THIS FROM ME

Good. Let’s keep this ball rolling.
