Rules for thee but not for me
Pretty sure they do? Unless you’re talking about a different DRM thing.
I’m gonna keep using and recommending LibreWolf for the foreseeable future.
But I wonder what other alternative web engines do with have with both Chromium and Gecko being run by advertisers now?
I know Palemoon runs a fork of a really old version of a Gecko and I used it for a bit back when Firefox 58 broke most add-ons. But I’m a bit iffy of it’s security these days.
Sadly I found out the Linux version hasn’t gotten the latest update so you gotta run it through Proton if you want Co-op with people on Windows.
No Besiege fans in here? Probably the most relaxing way to cause complete chaos and destruction.
As a newer Linux user I really like flatpaks.
I don’t use them for most things I install but proprietary apps I want sandboxed or programs that have weird issues with dependencies I grab the flatpak.
I switched a few months back after using Firefox /w ArkenWolf for years.
It’s great having an out the box product I don’t have to immediately tweak settings or install 3rd party tweaks & plugins to have a decent experience with.
Half the reason I switched to Linux almost a year ago was to avoid Microsofts forced invasive Ai bullshit. Seeing stuff like Recall has only cemented my decision.
I could go on a long rant about what I consider “right & wrong” when it comes to Ai but I’m just some dude and wanna use my own computer in the way I want to.
I had an original fat model PSP in white and that thing never looked truly clean after the first week no matter how hard I tried! It put me off buying white electronics ever since.
People who insist on having all white everything scare me.
I actually noticed something similar the other day when looking for Red Dead Redemption PS3 on Vimm’s I got given.

I ain’t gonna say it’s as easy as Windows but I personally haven’t had too much trouble running cracked games using the Lutris launcher.
Lutris also lets you show logs by right click on the game, So if you get an error while playing or loading it gives you something to look up.

Welcome to the club!
I don’t even have an OLED display for my desktop and I’ve still preferred pure black background for the longest time.
I’m glad dark mode is a standard unlike 10+ years ago when you had to hack it in yourself most of the time. But Ui designers just seemed to be afraid of trying anything outside the standards Google/Apple etc put in place.
As much as I appreciate Mozilla halting Chromiums complete stranglehold on the web. I even used to donate what I could to the project a while back, But they’ve also been fucking up so much lately I can’t even in good faith recommend vanilla Firefox anymore.
But forks like LibreWolf still require Mozilla to stay afloat as they’re not maintaining the back end only scraping the crud off the top.
So it’s really starting to feel like a lose/lose situation.
I only recently start using it after also being a browser email user all my life.
Kinda wondering what took me so long Thunderbird is great! don’t have to relearn questionable Ui between different email providers or re-login to check two mailboxes on the same provider.
Only annoying thing is not supporting ProtonMail out of the box.
Honestly the only people I try to “convert” to Linux are my friends who already hate Windows, which is most of them these days.
Sadly a lot of them either still regularly use programs we can’t get running on Linux yet (okay it’s mostly Fortnite…). Or they’re not the most tech literate people and switching to a whole new OS seems like an impossible task.
Only gotten two peeps on board the Linux train and they both had previous experience with it from school or work.
I’ve been using it for years just to translate my PS4 controller to Xbox so it works with most games
