Mozilla, please refocus the resources to improve performance, or let FF disappear!

This whole thing with the private data collection is meaningless, if the browser is increasingly niche.

I assume CUDA will operate with the proprietary user space driver.

Spent 5 minutes thinking about this just now and it seems plausible to me. That person has yet to give a reason to doubt them kind of reasoning..

You are completely right, they've dropped the ball. Of course it's open source, so the devs are not duty bound to keep the system running well. it's just that my trust is shaken that I could just set up grandma's computer with this and not need to maintain it..

These days even Apple and Microsoft struggle with testing their updates and pushing out updates that are not broken or system breaking. Maybe the grans of the world should just become more tech savvy. ;)

Then again if long term Fedora immutable systems only fail like this once every two years, then we are not really worse than needing to deal with Windows Rot.

It doesn't matter much in this case. Once ntsync is working, we all will benefit just the same. (Bottles, Lutris etc need to implement it as well)

Basically it doesn't matter if you can use the webapps.

Mint is the best traditional noobie distro, while I would suggest Silverblue, if you just want to use a robust system that requires far less maintenance effort than a traditional distribution with limitations that may are may not affect you at all.

A window manager like i3 or Openbox. If you are curious what that's like, then try out Bunsenlab Linux. (XFWM4 is also a great choice, but it requires some know how to properly rip out the rest of Xfce, like the relatively heavy desktop and the panel)

Flatseal's job is to do that. As for the note app, that's not great, but you can use flatseal to take away those permissions after installation.

The bag shaming culture in east Asia has to die, I still find it hard to believe ppl are so stupid.

No, unless you did stuff that would lead to you not asking this question.
