Fair, I stand corrected lmao

The last time I tried a linux system for a daily driver was over 10 years ago. At the time everything felt rough, unstable, unsupported, and gaming in particular was nonexistent.

Set up a CachyOS dual boot back in February, think I booted up Windows 3 times at most since then (and have since sorted out the issues that I had to do that for in the first place).

I still can’t seriously recommend the switch to less tech savvy folks (try putting grandma on Mint and see what happens lmao), but we’re definitely finally getting there after all these years.

Oh absolutely. We’re in a very different age today though. Like hell I can’t imagine either of my own parents understanding the basics.

This is the core of the argument. You can’t expected the average casual user to use CLI at all if you want mainstream adoption. The vast majority of people can barely operate Windows as-is, telling them to use a Linux CLI would be asinine.

I haven’t majorly fucked up any recent systems (almost botched the steam deck once or twice but nothing that required a reinstall), but god 10 years ago I probably reset my arch dual boot like five times lmao

True true. There’s also GrapheneOS’s Vanadium browser to keep an eye on, but so far I don’t think it’s usable outside of GOS without jumping through some hoops. Personally not a fan of Chromium-based browsers so I haven’t done much digging outside of the Firefox ecosystem though tbf.

Just to clarify, Fennec is a privacy-focused fork, kind of in the same vein as libreWolf but not as extensive. Since LW isn’t available on mobile, Fennec seems to be the next best thing.

I can’t really think of any browsers that have all the features OP is looking for. FF (+forks) is probably the closest thing out there.
