I think we have to give credit where it's due and a lot of Linux apps (mostly the non-distro ones, so no Gnome apps etc.) Do have quite dated interfaces. I can't find a nice mail client except mailspring and bluemail, both of which then come with some features not working (depending on your distro etc.)

Switched to Librewolf on Linux and Ironwolf on Android. But looking forward to Ladybird!

15 replies is, ironic.

Don't go with Intel. Anyone recommending intel should be ashamed and should have kept up with the tech news about Intel's CPUs basically burning up and Intel ignoring the issue, including all the warranty claims. NO INTEL. AMD Cpu and Gpu, because AMD develops more for Linux than Nvidia does. But you could still go for Nvidia (if you want raytracing on in games).

I'm really hoping the new ladybird browser is delivered sooner than expected

I watched an interview with the CEO on the Linux Tech Channel I believe (the french linux guy) and the problem is as usual, that the Linux userbase is too small. Proton, being a fully venture capitalist free company, meaning funded by the users (which is great), has to implement what the majority of users want and those are unfortunately IOS, Android, Windows, and a bit of MacOS. Linux is very far behind those, so comparing the size of the user base vs the amount of features, I'd say Proton isn't doing too badly.

Librewolf is pretty much standard hardened Firefox. So you should feel right at home with that one

Firefox on desktop and Mobile. To keep browser monopoly away. All settings set to max strictness except no DNS, because I have a VPN. Firefox works on 99.9% of sites. You can use a script called Arkenfox, to harden FF even more, almost to Librewolf, but with the advantage of updates coming directly from mozilla. I love the sync function across FF, so that's why I have it on my mobile as well, it's seemless.

That is the first time i've heard that. Not sure about it, but sounds like it could be true. Interesting nonetheless.

I always recommend Proton Pass. A) because they have a forever free version and B) because hopefully they start looking into the whole suite in general and even if they don't subscribe, they are more aware afterwards (hopefully).

Something I sometimes forget as well. Great reply.

Check out the Kagi search engine, paid for, but well worth it.

I tried Zorin, even paid for the pro version, which is simply a distro with added bloat, repackaged from free software to sometimes look like their own. I was impressed by the clean stock look, but it's pretty limited in terms of customisation. Just go to Linux Mint. Much bigger community and therefore support and let's you customise it a lot more. It's also lighter imo and more stable, although stable is always subjective.

I thought CopperheadOS was just the former name for GrapheneOS? At least that's how I understood the statement on their page.

I just switched from Windows to Linux recently. Have gone from Zorin to Linux Mint and my friend likes Ubuntu. I would like to think that I watched a lot of videos and read a lot of articles before switching, but I've never heard of immutable distros. Could you please explain that term?

Edit: Grammar.

Using Librewolf on desktop and Ironwolf (a continuation of Mull) for Android

What do you do when you need your password while out of the house? Because if you bring your notebook, then you've INSANELY decreased your security (forgotten, bag where it's in forgotten, left lying around open, looking at it while people can check over your shoulder, it gets wet/damaged, etc.)

Oh definitely. Especially in combo with Alonso. Hamilton going to Ferrari mostly looks like a PR stunt to bring in some cash for both sides.

Ah yes, Ironfox on mobile of course, thanks.

Jesus, George can not shut up for a few minutes. I guess there's always something to complain about.
