Firefox, because a) open source, b) ad blocking, and c) fuck Google and other corporate overlords.

I think the elephant in the room is that endless year-over-year growth is unteneble and mathematically impossible. So as the suits get their hands on more and more, they are actually kind of stuck. That means e.g. reddit is unable to operate as normal, not necessarily because they lose money, but because they can't hit unrealistic targets.
Coming from Relay for Reddit, Jerboa really doesn't feel all that different. I just wish I could open links in app or full screen pictures, but all that stuff can come later.
Linux. I use Arch on my laptop and PopOS on my gaming rig. Still using Windows on my company laptop, but daily driving Linux on the others for over a year now.
Really dislike the Microsoft push for telemetry as well as the integrated ads and other processes wasting my resources.
I remember when it came out and thinking "really? What can you even play?" And then when the Steam boxes seemed to flop, I figured that was the end of that.
But now I'm hugely happy they stuck to it. SteamDeck is a great success and I've been daily driving linux for gaming for about a year now. Tremendous boon to the community.
I've used PopOS as a daily driver on my gaming rig for about a year now. No real complaints and it was definitely great when I had an nvidia card.
(Though I am looking to switch to Arch soon, since I want to really avoid background processes that I ultimately don't need, and since I switched to AMD and their drivers are in the kernel, I don't need the nvidia help anymore.)
Doesn't work on jerboa either
