Apples existence should face criminal charges for sucking too much.

Welcome! I’m not as brave as you I’m still dual booting.

Yeah those are 2 good points that I didn’t think about when writing my comment. I guess they aren’t bad in terms of the fact that they spy on you (browser like brave don’t and brave has a built in ad blocker so it is mostly unefected by manifest v3).

But chromium is bad in terms that it is so dominant in the browser space that google can just do things like manifest v3 and no one does anything about it because they won’t even consider for a moment that firefox is a viable alternative.

People almost stair at me in disgust when they see me using firefox because they think it’s a terrible browser even thought they don’t really know why. I think that goes to show how excellent of a job Google has done brainwashing everyone to think chrome is the only browser worth considering.

Overall I love competition and using the less popular competing product, since it’s the only way you can stop for proffit companies from screwing it’s users over.

Do you think most games might perform better on linux in the future? When game makers put more effort towards optimising for linux considering linux has less bloatware etc?

What is lineage os Android TV? Couldn’t find it anywhere on my search engine.

Also I don’t know what people mean by “the wall that is nvidia on linux” I have been using my gtx 1660 on Linux and it just works. Since I use bazzite you can select your gpu model before downloading the iso file and it preinstalls nvidia proprietary drivers. I’m not sure what it’s like on other distros but it seems fine.

In fact I also have an rx 6700xt but unfortunately I could not get a display output on Linux no matter what I tried. So for me nvidia has been better than amd on Linux.

Depending on your ISP sometimes you can just call them, ask to opt out of cg-nat and they will do it for free.

That’s true, but when I said switch to chrome I ment the official google Chrome which Google makes not a chromium fork. Just because it uses chromium doesn’t mean it’s bad.

There are ways to send all of your internet traffic over tor. For example tails os does it by default.

And tor is definitely more secure than a vpn. Any VPN company can just log all your internet traffic and sell it if they want to. Compared to tor you will need to gain access to at least 2 nodes that the internet traffic goes through in order to get any mildly useful information, that is significantly harder than with a VPN.

Also I just wanna say arguments like these are so fun to read

I’ve had the same experience with vpn’s requiring a captcha for every second website I visit.

No issues yet…

Yeah most people but it’s a snowball effect once a few people you know start using Linux and they like it then you are a lot more likely to try it yourself. I’m an optimist and I believe Linux will start exponentially increasing in adoption (to a point) in the next few years.

Also I think most people do change there default browser but they change it to Chrome ):

Source?

The worse Microsoft makes Windows the more people start using Linux and the better Linux becomes.

WHAT?? People getting arrested for having an ad blocker and using signal? That’s just insane that’s not even “over the top” privacy they aren’t even using tor.

Yes.

I use KDE atm I’m really new to Linux at the moment though and I will switch at some point to see the other side. But KDE seams really good after just coming from Windows.

Update: I got space engineers and beamng.drive working it was probably a problem with not having write permission on my hdd(see comment I put above)

I am pretty sure i am running counter strike natively at the moment. How do I change it between running natively and running with proton? I think it might perform better with proton.

So far I’ve tried space engineers, counter strike and beamng.drive although I haven’t gotten any of them to launch yet except counter strike but I have had terrible frame rate and stuttering that made it unplayable.

I’m running bazzite too. What games have you been playing?

Every game I want to play actually working first time everytime.
