@jackpot Then they ask what's a bios? what's a product key? how do boot from USB? there is huge details your missing maybe for a Linux native 15 minutes seams reasonable but my first install took maybe 45 mins, and I'm tech competent.

Also people will be asking how do they copy over their data already on windows. The other question for many is why would I want to? sadly the general population doesnt care about open source

@DangerousInternet vivaldi is closed source though, brave I've found in my expirrence to be slow however do use their mobile browser. Fact is though V3 will become more prevalent as support for v2 drops from google it turns into a ticking time bomb. Overall relying on chromium is a ticking time bomb with all of googles web DRM bulshit.

Idk i just find chromium browsers to be slower and fear the all chrome future

@DangerousInternet what browsers are you referring to, the only chromium based browser that I know blocks ads without an extension is brave. apart from the rest need extensions and the major ones (chrome, edge etc) plan to end manifest v2 support

@DangerousInternet @vrighter not with manifest v3 rolling out though. I can still block every ad and block ad blocker blockers meanwhile my chromium friends seem to be crippled in this regard.

@Hazmatastic @theredcaps I think it is a bandwidth concern, especially if multiple people will be streaming from the server. WiFi is unstable too its part in parcel, wired is just required if you need something that's stable

@caseyweederman @makingStuffForFun the prediction imperative will come in before that. surveillance capitalism is how they will make their fortune

@Strit @blakeus12 forgot about element, but its sadly quite a terrible client on Linux. although that could be the fault of my nvidia graphics

@bappity no yeah totally I used it for ages it just sucks there is no truly independent privacy orientated browser. the closest thing to that is brave search

@bappity @asexualchangeling sadly duck duck go is basically just a bing proxy

@danielfgom ah I see well either way even if fedora put a backdoor in it wouldnt exactly be a secret. maybe a compromised iso from their main website but people would quickly raise the alarm over the hashes

@danielfgom @cygnus fedora is as independent of red hat as Linux mint is independent of canonical. At least as far as I know

@flashgnash yeah they work in proton... that's not native linux. porting a windows game to native Linux is more trouble that its worth for most devs hence projects like proton
