Seriously, the whole thing with Firefox and their privacy policy is overblown. I understand the concerns, but people gotta chill.

Besides, there aren’t good alternatives out there. The closest is Librewolf and even with that browser it’s hard to work around all the problems that the increased security creates. I couldn’t do half the shit I wanted to do when I tried it and abandonne altogether.

Oh cool!

LxQT maybe? Ubuntu MATE could work too.

With btrfs I would just do a snapshot before an upgrade then restore if it broke.

Love it! Added to my configs.

Yeah that’s a good point.

The thing with our organization is they selected technologies that are simply not compatible with Linux. Even using WSL is complicated.

It’s dumb because the vast majority of the tasks I do and the technologies I work with is almost exclusively made to work on Linux or requires a Linux VM to work.

I tried at my job. Basically the IT guys are too incompetent and don’t know how to manage Linux computers.

But the company had to be able to have control over what users install, they must also have a VPN and proxy set up in a way that they can monitor what employees do or what they browse. They currently use Zscaler.

I’ve had my laptop reimaged at work with windows 11. It’s horrible. I miss windows 10 honestly.

Man. At this point, everybody at Ubuntu, at Gnome and even KDE needs to understand that Mint are doing it right.

We don’t need a new desktop environment paradigm, we dont need every single pixel to be configurable. And not everything needs to be a damn snap.

Keep it simple and focus on making things work.

That’s pretty cool.

SSSSHHHHHHHH!!! 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫 Don’t give anyone any ideas.

That thing still exists?

Ah but it’s not there by default.

Wait… They don’t have that in Gnome? (I use KDE)

Love it! Rejean is going to be proud

Here it is if anyone wants to read it. It’s nothing extraordinary.

They ran on cheap prices and no commercials to get people hooked. Now that they dominate the market, they raise the prices and include ads for increased revenue.

Is anyone using BSD as a desktop by the way? Ive only been focusing on Linux.

I wonder what they’ll call it. Will they keep the “Linux” name?

What’s a good alternative though? Tech giants have taken over Internet search and are pretty much all striving to be alike in generating the most revenue possible through ads and incorporating AI.
