Yeah I just need to reinstall at some point, maybe try another distro.

Nope this 100% Linux machine and partitions.

It can be, but I never really run into any issues. Part of it is I’m more familiar with windows than linux I’m sure.

My linux desktop experience hasn’t been as good, I run it on my laptop since that’s more just a web browsing device than anything and it’s not critical if it breaks. The last 2 times I’ve updated Fedora it has broken the bootloader and that took me quite awhile to fix, I can’t figure out why it keeps happening as it’s a really standard install and doesn’t make any sense.

I also still can’t get HW acceleration working in any browsers, flatpak or directly installed, which has been extremely frustrating since I’ve never had to do anything on windows for it to work. There are no clear guides with one fix either, and it’s not something I should have to be fixing myself, it should work out of the box.

That takes a few minutes, it’s not like Linux doesn’t have stuff I’ve gotta spend time to fix too.

Majority yeah but the stuff that doesn’t work can be a serious time sink to fix.

Has it occurred to you that it’s not a tiny change for a lot of people?

It’s a bother but it can be limited somewhat via toggles and DNS blocking.

Not all of us just use our computers as a hobby, I don’t have the time to figure out Linux and make things run in wine or proton, and fixing things that break from updating that software is annoying.

I certainly do, as someone who likes open source stuff, self hosting, ham radio and general tinkering, iOS is unbelievably limited and you can’t really do much with it outside ‘use the apps’, and the app store is missing so much too.

That said Samsung is kinda eh. Lots of annoying things about them.

I suppose they just can’t imagine that there are people who don’t use it.

They must think that everyone is addicted to it as they are.

Who wouldn’t? It’s such a weird thing to assume it shouldn’t just work (assuming no hardware failure at least).

If I turn on a PC from 10 years ago it’ll boot up and run the applications installed on it.

TBF Firefox on Android is not as good as it could be, it can be frustrating when it doesn’t load tabs sometimes or slows down to a crawl for no reason.

I still use it, but I can see why people might have bad experiences with it.

What ads am I gonna see though, everything I touch daily has adblocking on it.

Almost every interesting kind of public event like that is going away due to liability issues. Liability insurance is going through the roof, and the insurance companies are forcing places to stop doing events.

Lots of those don’t have any browser sync right?
